Chaos in the Galleria is a loving and nuanced satire of the heist themed escape rooms. Whereas the typical heist room begins in a fine art gallery, Chaos begins in a 80s/90s galleria mall. While most heist rooms want you to steal the most valuable ________ from a highly secure vault, Chaos asks you to steal the “fifth most valuable diamond” from a vending machine. From there, the story sends you to explore conventional mall stores (books, fashion) while giving you puzzles that are varied, layered, and complex. There are additional moments of hilarity (one task toward then end had our entire team laughing) as well as fun aha moments before resolving in a way typical for the genre. We played with a team of 7 which the game handled well, finishing with about 20 minutes left on the timer (though this was due to having a few puzzlers who expertly and quickly moved through the game).
