The Billion Pound Heist

The room was ok, not great. I would say a 3/5, but we still enjoyed it. The story did not make sense at first glance at least. The puzzles were easy and we finished quickly as a 2. The rooms were a bit random and didn’t seem all connected, or made sense, for example one had lasers but they didn’t really do anything. However looking back many of the puzzles didn’t make much sense. I would still do it again though. I did all rooms in this venue and this one was the 2nd best / worst.

MUCH better than I expeted, given the negative reviews it got from enthusiasts when it opened in summer 2025. Playing it a year later (summer 2026), it was a fun, smooth-flowing experience, with nicely decorated sets. I conclude Enigma Quest have apparently worked out the bugs. It's a fun, solidly-implemented example of a heist theme, with a few original ideas and some fun moments. The only remaining problem is sound bleed; at a few points, we were distracted by noise from neighbouring rooms. I don't want to oversell the experience. This isn't TERPECA worthy, and it's not the top tier of London games. But it can hold its head up high within the second tier.

The story and therefore the room made no sense. The game masters did not care, and you could hear clues being read out in other rooms that made no sense. They were 10 minutes late for our booking without an apology and we were not told how we did once finished.
