Train Robbery

Really fun experience. Loved the set and the puzzles. Sad that they never ended up opening a second game!

Thought the set design was great and enjoyed most of the puzzles. There were several things going on at once which was nice for our group to all be busy as well. One of the best “western type” games I have played.

Really good game. One of the better old west games Ive played. A few puzzles required us to guess the order of the solve. Not a big fan of this. Would rather that order be given a step in the puzzle. But overall an excellent experience.

I think we let the hype get to our heads and then ended up slightly disappointed. Overall the set design was great, the GM was helpful (only gives hints if you ask), but the game flow wasn’t the best, especially for a group of two. It just felt like we were getting lots of ambiguous pieces of information & parts of the game at once so we found ourselves not knowing what to do next a couple of times. It’s not the most linear game and I think it would be a lot better for a bigger group. The room overall is pretty good … it just wasn’t for us.

7.9/10 Train Robbery has been on our wishlist for quite a while, so we were happy to finally be able to play it. This room definitely did not disappoint with a great story and fun atmosphere making it one of the better rooms in the DC/Northern VA area. There is an aspect of a “whodunit,” which isn’t usually our cup of tea but it was still super enjoyable with a lot to do! It was on the more difficult side, especially with only 2 people, but we were able to beat it with a minute to spare 😬 (You can check out our full review on our blog. Link in our profile.

Great room. Immersive. Great use of props. Fun story. Easily one of the better rooms in the area.

Cyber Raccoon understands how to treat escapers. It was a great experience.

The set was great. The game is challenging, especially for a team of two. We wish the flow was better. We were often wondering what we should do next. But, overall, we enjoyed the experience.

Agh, unfortunately was a little disappointed by this room- feel like there’s a bit of a dearth of good escape rooms in the Greater DC region, so was super excited that this room was so highly rated, but we were a big group (maybe 6? 7?) and there was not nearly enough to keep us occupied in this room. It was mostly linear and a fair number of us were just hanging out. The setting is so so cool and the storyline pretty interesting so I just wish gameplay had been a bit more compelling!

Great atmosphere and puzzles. Felt a bit too linear but I understand the need the way the story was unfolding. It did mean though towards the middle and the end that sometimes we had 1-2 extra people with nothing to do (we were a group of 5). Clever mechanics, good storyline, and high quality puzzles. I’d definitely recommend it but I’m not sure if it’s on my list of favorites.
