Casino Heist II

Fun game, a few of the puzzles did not work properly. Completed with two people, anything over 4 would be too many for this game

Played it fresh (without knowing the 1st one) it was a simple mix of puzzle-solving and thinking in thematic to the set design of the casino. Surprisingly satisfying, our gamemaster Indira was hella cool.

Room was great puzzles were interesting, but either seemed finicky or did not work the first few times we tried. We had the correct combination, but the mechanism didn't work or had the incorrect guess when we tried. When we came back to it, a friend did the same combination and it just magically worked. There was even a visual puzzle that the six of us had to strain our eyes very hard to see. Overall, ambiance and gameplay was great. Assuming all the locks and mechanisms for the puzzle works, I would recommend this room.

Super fun room and lots of unique puzzles. I would definitely recommend it!

Room was good, not great. Kinda bizarre because before the game the GM was going over the rules and was like obviously don’t do xyz and then you had to do xyz pretty much immediately. It was weird and we blew 5-10 minutes out the gate. IYKYK Otherwise the game was fine!

It was just ok. Fun theme, but nothing unique. One of the puzzles glitched, so that was annoying. The host, Anthony, was friendly and warm. Not very impressive compared to other options out there.

Lots of similarities to the original, but with just enough new things and a fresh coat of paint to be enjoyable.

Though they brought over a lot of similar elements from the first version of this room, it was altered enough that it felt new and different. They had great ideas for puzzles that I’m glad they kept in the first room, and everything they added felt fresh and welcome. The only downside were some of the combination locks were very hard to open, but the GM said they were fixing that soon.

This room is almost identical to Casino Heist the original that was at the West LA location. I would never have booked it if I had known that. And on the weekend they make you pay for 3pp even if you’re 2pp, and to add insult to injury they didn’t honor the birthday discount though it was my bday. I still haven’t heard back from them. Completely not worth the price for this game, which is just alright.

There are some props/decorations reportedly left over from Casino Heist I that ended up being red herrings. But we had a good time, with guidance from the helpful GM.
