The Heist

I love these escape rooms, and the staff is amazing, but for paying almost $40 pp it's hard to stomach having to play with strangers. The room looked to be great, but having to carry 4 randoms on our backs made it near impossible to actually solve anything. Maybe we'll come back in the future to try and actually solve with people we know/ have it to ourselves. UPDATE: We did come back to do playground, but we made sure to have a large enough group to have the game to ourself. It was nice to get back in the flow to really enjoy how nice these rooms are, but I will still place a word of caution to anyone booking to make sure they note that these are NOT private rooms.

This room was challenging but fun! We were able to escape just in the nick of time. Really cool puzzles and theme! Would def recommend!

It would’ve been really fun but our group of 3 was paired with another group of 4. 7 ppl is way too many so it put a damper on the experience. I would still recommend if you can find an empty spot for your group.

I think this room is tougher than Prison Break. The first room was a bit of a pinch-point for us. We were stuck for a hot second. Our game master was awesome and helped us keep moving along. There were lots of great effects and ":O" moments.

Gorgeous reproductions by Degas, Renoir, van Gogh, and Seurat. But you're allowed - and encouraged - to run your hands all over them, tug on their frames, and even try to steal a painting! The Heist escape room boasts an impressive recreation of a museum, complete with high-tech puzzles that seamlessly blend into the environment. Teamwork is key, as the initial puzzles require a linear approach and can be challenging. With the help of the friendly game master, we managed to escape just in time. Above and beyond customer service from the manager working the front desk. We mentioned we had done two rooms in another one of their locations, and she presented us with a The Escape Game Passport. We’ve subsequently carried it with us to another of their locations, and have used it to plan some future escape room centric vacations. Note that The Escape Game offers buy 3 get one free sales a few times a year around holidays, so if you're planning on doing multiple rooms or having multiple players in the future, it's worth trying to catch a sale from them.

Wasn't bad but wasn't great either. I remember it being challenging but other than that it wasn't too special...middle of the road in my opinion especially compaired to the other games that they offer.

Of the four rooms at the KOP location, I think this was our least favorite, but only because the theme seemed duller than the other three. The ambiance only suffers from the fact that most museums have plain white walls, so there isn't too much vibrancy in the decor. The puzzles remain the same caliber of difficulty as other rooms at the Escape Game. It all feels very authentic, and you do really feel like a thief attempting a heist! Always a fun time.

Beautiful rooms!! We were 3 adults and 3 kids and we struggled with some of the puzzles and broke our "no hint" rule for sure. The puzzle master struggled to provide relevant hints.

Good room with a unique feel and an interesting premise. I was plseatnly surprised that as we moved from room to room the theme changed, but felt totally in sync with the story. I highly reccomend!

This was a pretty solid game, and we go go do it with some total strangers! I miss the days we could work with others becuase we got paired up with some amazing people. The puzzles were fun and challenging, but many hands made light work. I would actually make one suggestion to the company, cap this room at 6 people. Eight made the place feel tight!
