“Very high production value, and some really unique puzzles compared to all of the other rooms we've done. But for our group, it was arguably too easy, as we got out in half the allotted time, and wished we'd slowed down to appreciate how fun everything was along the way.”

“This room was our first experience with high-production value escape rooms, and the one that got us hooked on them. While there are better rooms at this location, when evaluated in isolation, The Heist is still a very strong room.”

“Did this game with our family at midnight on New Year’s Eve, and since then, we’ve all had a great time telling people we were locked up for New Year’s. The experience is very immersive, with lots of interesting puzzles and other fun elements.”

405 Red River St, Austin, TX 78701, USA

“Did this one with a large group of newbies, and everyone absolutely loved it! As other reviews have noted, the non-linear nature of the game means that everyone can be working on something at the same time, so no one is ever bored, and if you get stuck on one puzzle, you can easily switch to working on another one. The set and story were also very immersive. This is a game that we would definitely do again, and either work on different puzzles (since there are so many different ones to choose from), or just nerf ourselves in general to have the chance to do it all over again with a new group.”

“I thought this room was great! We solved with two people with 10 minutes to spare but the puzzles and the atmosphere were both very fun. A lot of enthusiasts complain “it’s too easy” “it’s too hard”. It’s a lot of fun, that’s all that matters. Best take on a time travel room I’ve seen so far. Probably my second favorite from TEG after playground.”

“Room is excellent. Great set and the theming is whimsical and fun. It was intuitive enough that we didn’t need clues, but on two occasions we were right at the point of being stumped, which is the ideal difficulty in our minds. Lots of fancy tech, all of it worked well. We had loads of fun!”
