Henchmen’s Heist

10/10 — HIGH-TECH & FULL OF SURPRISES! After completing Mongollon Monster, we also took on Henchmen Heist at Nemesis Club, and once again, they absolutely delivered! I’ll admit, I was a little skeptical going into this one. We normally gravitate toward creepy, scary and horror-themed rooms, so a superhero-style room wouldn’t normally be my first choice. But Henchmen Heist absolutely lived up to the hype. First, the opening storyline and the way you actually get into the room was FANTASTIC! Before we even really started, I remember thinking, Okayyyy…this is about to be GOOD. 😂 It immediately set the tone for the experience—and once we got inside, the room did not disappoint. The technology is incredible and makes the entire game feel like a full-scale production rather than just a collection of puzzles. It’s very high-tech, but I loved that they still incorporated a few nods to traditional, old-school escape-room puzzling. The room is non-linear, with plenty to work on simultaneously, but everything still feels connected to the theme and storyline. We also encountered several puzzle concepts that we’d never experienced before, and when you’ve done as many escape rooms as we have, finding something genuinely new is ALWAYS refreshing. My husband and I tackled this one with just the two of us and escaped with UNDER 3 MINUTES REMAINING! 😩😂 It was literally a RACE TO THE FINISH. I think 3–4 players would probably be the sweet spot for this room because there’s so much happening, but experienced players can absolutely tackle it as a duo—we’re proof! Just be prepared to MOVE. Another thing we loved was the humor. There were several genuinely funny moments throughout the experience, and we LOVE when a room can make us laugh while we’re simultaneously stressing ourselves out trying to solve puzzles. 😂 But there were TWO things that absolutely MADE this room for us. First, that opening sequence. BRILLIANT. It immediately pulled us into the story and made us feel like participants rather than people simply walking into another escape room. And second… 🚨SPOILER ALERT 🚨 STOP READING HERE IF YOU PLAN ON PLAYING! We had to EAT SOMETHING TO PROGRESS THROUGH THE GAME!! 😳😳😳 WHAT?! In all the escape rooms we’ve done, we have NEVER encountered that before. And our GM was NOT playing with us either! 😂 There was no “ehhh, we don’t want to do it, can we move on?” NOPE……EAT. THE. THING. He wasn’t progressing that game until we did it. 😂😂 That moment alone will probably have us talking about Henchmen Heist for YEARS. It’s exactly the type of unexpected interaction that makes an escape room memorable long after you’ve forgotten individual puzzle combinations. END SPOILER 🚨 Overall, Henchmen Heist had everything we want in a great room: an amazing storyline, incredible technology, creative puzzles, surprises we’d never encountered before, humor, great theming and a frantic race to the finish. Nemesis Club has absolutely mastered making their rooms feel like experiences, not just escape games. 10/10 ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!

This was so much fun, we had the perfect group to play, so it also felt pretty balanced in gameplay. Plus, each of us got to "be a hero"...sort of? Well, we each got to have their powers. Plus, the lead up let us be fun and silly before the game, which I genuinely loved how they kinda just...threw us in and immediately treated us like the cleaning crew. Definitely the most fun I've had for an escape room, and I definitely want to try the others here! (Plus, the atmosphere is amazing, getting to the Escape room was everything I ever wanted, and I just wanna exist there in the Nemisis club for hours drinking Lemon Drops, which would 100000% recommend on a hot day.)

This is hands down one of the best escape rooms I’ve ever done! It was so immersive from the minute you walk in the building and it continues the entire way through. The rooms were designed by a disney imagineer so just put that into perspective. It was mind blowing and I was thinking about the puzzles and how everything works the rest of the night. It was so much fun and I will for sure be back to try out the other 2!!

The details are INSANE. Best one I’ve been to by far.

Another top TOP room with fun interactions, clever and out of the box puzzles and an interesting storyline that develops as you played. Plus, we got to eat delicious ice creams afterwards in the secret club! Definitely must play room!

Amazing escape room. Looking forward to the sequel.

Easily my favorite room at Nemesis. Probably one of the most hilarious games I’ve done in a while. I thoroughly enjoyed flipping the switch and playing the bad guys instead of the heroes. Lots of entertaining puzzles and there was one puzzle with magnets that I thought was absolutely genius in how you’re supposed to figure it out. This room also rewards you for actually paying attention to the story and studying the props around you which I really liked. Lots of jokes that I found so incredibly entertaining and all in all just a silly room. Accessibility wise: 1 person has to do a little bit of floor is lava style climbing. There’s also a puzzle that has one person eat what I assume is a piece of chocolate? It’s not labeled or anything, just in a plastic bag and as a person with allergies I don’t trust anything that I don’t know what it is. It’s a safety thing. So either bring someone without allergies or ask the GM for clarification on what exactly it is. Also, the milkshake bar is fantastic. Brings the entire place up for me in terms of general vibe. We shared the cookie milkshake and had them put the nutter butter on a side plate so my fiancé could eat it and I wouldn’t have a peanut cookie in my milkshake. They were super understanding and accommodating. A perfect treat after 3 back to back escape rooms 😂😂😂

Cool room, with lots of tech and a couple of puzzles that are very useful unexpected. Overall setup is very cool with the milkshake shop
