The Heist

This room could have been really great! However, a few things did dampen the experience for us. The final aspect of the room requires fobs being scanned, and either one of our fobs did not work or the scanner wasn't working properly, but we spent about five minutes trying to scan the final fob and it would either not work or it would act like it was going to work and then still wouldn't release the diamond. Considering this is the culmination of everything the room has led up to, having it not work was really disappointing. Another one of the puzzles requires a prop in the room to be placed in a very specific position. We are not sure if the GM didn't place it right or if one of us might have bumped into the prop at some point, but either way it was in the wrong spot, giving us the incorrect answer to the puzzle even though we'd done it properly. If placement is that important to the puzzle being solved, there should be something to lock that prop in place so it doesn't move. Despite these issues that really put us behind and added a lot to our time, we still escaped in about 25 minutes. Personally, I believe very strongly that rooms should have adaptive difficulty so this type of thing doesn't happen. We were a group of 7, but only 2 of us have any escape room experience, so I do not think we should have escaped that early. $40 is reasonable for a near 60 minute experience, but it is unreasonable for a 20 minute experience. We had done this room for my birthday, and while I would not normally expect escape rooms to do anything special for my birthday, when escape rooms ask during booking if you're celebrating anything, to me, that implies that they are asking for a reason. My past two birthdays in a row, the room has asked that question during booking and done really sweet surprises to celebrate my birthday. Red Fox didn't do anything, which would be fine if they hadn't asked about it, but if you're not planning to do anything with that information then perhaps don't ask the question in the first place and set up false expectations. We still had a fun time, but some tech improvements and adaptive difficulty could really improve the experience.

i liked this room a lot! played with two relatively new gamers and my best friend (we’ve done many together). I think 4 is optimal for this room, if not 5 or 6 for newer players. the puzzles were unique and smart. the art gallery itself was gorgeous. there were some puzzles that couldn’t be solved without solving another first, even though i was under the impression it was somewhat asynchronous. either way, aesthetically pleasing room for sure there were some minor tech issues (no pencil in the first room, which made us lose a ton of time when our GM stopped replying) but other than that, really liked this one!

Excellent heist room! I love that the gallery itself in the room museum was genuinely interesting. Like, I would check out actual art pieces in this museum that I am heisting from. The puzzles made sense, were logical, and utilized the art works well! All the rooms at the Boston Red Fox are great and are highly recommended!

Fantastic room!

Great for larger groups, lots of parallel play.

Museum was beautiful

Fun Heist game with a surprising first room - loved the theming. Conundrum Museum in Boston was a similar theme but a bit more puzzley, so I liked that one better. But this is great too!

This was a fun, immersive and challenging experience with lots of attention to detail and great customer service. Was a memorable party for teens and looking forward to going back. Hints are given on a screen, I prefer when they are given over a speaker, because I had to turn around to see them and sometimes missed them as I did not hear the audio cue (although it was a birthday party for teens and they were being very loud!)

All of the rooms at Red Fox are unique, challenging, and so so satisfying. They are clearly crafted with care. This is probably their most straightforward room in terms of story, but it makes up for it with a lot of unique, high production value, visual puzzling! We did the room with 6 people and were glad to have so many folks there to help us get through all the content within the time frame! I think this room would be a LOT for 2 people. Possible (?), but definitely a challenge.

All puzzles were well done and had a good mix of hard and easy puzzles. The vibe was one point!
