Bank Heist

The set design of this room is excellent. The puzzles are just okay. The story is a bit wacky (time-traveling heist) but honestly the story plays very little into the experience. It feels like they were setting up a sequel that doesn’t exist. I found the ending to be rather abrupt. Overall, still glad we played for the cool set, but for me the Mission Unstoppable room was a much better game overall. No reason not to play them both, of course! The staff were great and we would certainly come back to play more rooms here. Recommended-ish.

The set design for this is really great, if that is big for you then give it a try. This game is not really fun though, it feels very technical. There are way too many lock puzzles and the story doesn’t play into the amazing set enough. I would rather have a basic set that knows what it is and plays to it.

This is definitely not a room for beginners. Puzzles were challenging and not that interesting. Was not a fan of this room.

The set was fairly impressive but the puzzles didn't flow from one to the other. We had to ask for three hints and I'm still unsure how we would have figured out the connections between a few of the puzzles without those hints. Additionally, not a fan of most of the GM's there. Most we have met seemed annoyed to be there and we had no clear Game Master. Multiple employees handled us from start to finish.

Not one of the better games at Lockbusters.

Our last stop at LockBusters for now was no disappointment! Bank Heist while being their hardest experience really proved to be so in the amount of things to do along with a select few puzzles. While we played with only two we came to understand why four people is suggested in order to make things flow a little quicker throughout the game. Overall though the puzzles themselves were the normal LockBuster still that we had become used to. This game is one that the enthusiasts will be a test to how quickly you can work and for newer players a jump into a more critical thinking style of gameplay. While we had some trouble with some puzzles the big confusion we had was the story, part to us not totally paying attention (yes that’s our bad) but when we kept going through the room there was a twist that was very cool but wish was explained a little better. Overall though we had a good time breaking into and out of Market Street Bank without a trace and in the nic of time :)

I enjoyed the Bank Heist game at Lockbusters! It was fun and well themed. We played with a large group and sometimes there were not enough things for all of us to be doing, but we still enjoyed ourselves greatly! The puzzles were moderately challenging and could be divided and conquered.

We brought two friends to this for their first experience and we all really enjoyed the room. It felt really well themed and beautifully designed. The puzzles were logical but felt satisfying when solved and we felt all 4 of us were engaged in activities at all times. You definitely need to be skilled at communication as there are multiple times where you need to partner with another team member to properly solve critical puzzles.

With an interesting spin on the bank heist theme, this game is worth checking out. Communication is definitely key in this game, and having a teammate who thinks creatively will go a long way to conquering this game. Try this game and have fun!
