You are pro at planning heists, but this bank heist is unlike others, as the owner of the bank already knows you will be there. Will you escape this trap?

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 is excellent.

They do give you all the information you need to solve the puzzles, but if you are familiar with some relevant information then you can solve several puzzles without needing the environmental info, which is fine.

Several puzzles require two people to manipulate controls or communicate between different spaces, but other than that you don’t need a big group. The room is linear-ish and there aren’t that many puzzles. I would say 2-4 is probably ideal.

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.
Not the best, but very nice set design. Too many lock puzzles detracts from the experience. The story needs to blend more with the set. The lock puzzles alone almost make it a down vote.
This is the highlight of the room. Set design was great.

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.
Puzzles didn't flow well. No idea how we should have known what to do once we solve first puzzle.
Nice set design. The armored truck was very cool.
Employees were not consistently friendly. The gentleman who walked us back to room was nice but others seemed to rush us or annoyed to be at work.

Not one of the better games at Lockbusters.
Puzzles didn’t flow well. There were “old clues” that weren’t even part of the room anymore. If that’s the case, then why not get rid of it?
Set design was good. GM said to ignore all the dialogue over the speakers because there was no significance to it. Would have been nice to hear it if it made sense to the storyline (in moderation of course).
Started with a male GM, asked for a clue and heard a female GM, then ended the game with another male GM. No consistency. Staff does not seem very engaging as opposed to other places we’ve been.

Story could have flowed better. There’s an audio storyline, but it’s hard to hear.

There is one tight place where you have to solve a few puzzles. It’s not a requirement for everyone to go into this space.

There’s a small parking lot that gets crowded very quickly. It’s in the middle of restaurants so a lot of foot traffic.

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.
The game play flowed well from puzzle to puzzle and had a lot of good puzzles that were not just lock and key based! However, most of the puzzles were not extremely challenging.
The atmosphere was very well designed and looked cool!
We had a good experience and were treated well by the staff.

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!
