Uncharted: The Heist

Here's the deal - The Heist in a vaccum is a pretty fine room. It is extremely short but the theming is nice, the puzzles are alright, and it's fun. But, it is also $22 per person for a 20 minute room (that took my group 13 minutes!!!) That $/min is just too high for me to recommend this room. You also cannot book ahead of time, so better hope it isn't busy or else you will be out of luck. As a solo room, it might actually be fun, but as a group there are far better rooms in terms of quality and value that you should support instead.

It’s alright. Very corporatized. The puzzles were really nothing special outside of a few. It’s a very small, 20min room, so it’s good for a quick in-and-out experience. Also, they don’t give you your time during the room. Really, it’s all about the experience, which is fine enough. The problem is you’re paying a regular room cost for 20 minutes of beginner puzzles. For even half the cost I’d say it could be worth it, but it’s just too expensive. I’ll still rate it positive, but if cost is a dealbreaker for you it’s a serious problem.

This room is based on Sony’s Uncharted franchise, specifically the movie, but it’s also a technological heist escape room. The final puzzle was great, and can really test people combined with the low 20-minute time limit. The room has less time than the other church-themed one, but I considered this one harder due to the distractions and the final puzzle difficulty. There is a small device that didn’t work because it was low on battery which was very unfortunate but our GM came in to fix the problem ASAP thankfully. Overall, a good room though might not blow enthusiasts away. It’s in a fun location with a bar and restaurant and other attractions! So probably great for parties and hangouts!
