This was my first time entering an Escape Room. I went with 8 of my best friends! We managed to uncover all the clues and left the room in good time: 47 minutes! As I have been to Egypt and the pyramids in my life, this was an absolutely fun time to be had by all! We had a 5 year old who discovered clues on up to me at 66 years old. I highly recommend experiencing this fun room to anyone. Beware, though, the room remains dark for most of the time spent inside!

We did The Heist as a group of 8. Four of us had done one other room (at a different establishment), and this was the first escape room for the other four.

We found the whole experience lacking on so many levels. In short, this room fell way short of expectations. It was medium-fun, but not excellent.
Here are our top 20 complaints on this room:
There weren't any real puzzles. No logic. No solving. Just looking at stuff and figuring out which item gave you the combination for which lock.
There were WAY TOO MANY LOCKS/COMBINATIONS/PASSWORDS!!!!!
The room was tiny - way too small for 8 people.
The room was hot and stuffy.
There weren't enough parallel puzzle paths to keep everyone busy. Most of our group stood around while one person worked on the one puzzle that was holding everything up.
The room was too dark to see anything. The flashlights they provided were useless. Everyone had to use their cell phone flashlights the whole time.
The theme was lacking - the puzzles didn't match the theme of the room. The decorating was not at all realistic.
The 'final' exit door was surprising, but in a bad way.
The decor was cheap.
There were several puzzles that required colors, but the lighting was too dim to make out the colors.
We had to do trial and error on too many things.
There were two puzzles that used colors, and there were two other puzzles that provided colors but didn't use them. No information was given to indicate which color items went with which puzzle.
On several of the puzzles, there was no indication of which solution matched up with which puzzle.
The huge metapuzzle at the end requires you to get a bunch of numbers using a bunch of items throughout the room. This puzzle was broken and gave the wrong numbers.
The box puzzle took us 25 minutes to solve, even with the game master trying to explain the solution over the walkie-talkie.
We had to receive 6 hints and still were 20 minutes short of escaping.
We tried to ask for a hint several times with the walkie talkie, but we didn't get any response. We even tried waving at the camera to get the game master's attention; again no response. After the game was over, we realized we were pushing the wrong button on the walkie talkie.
There was no sense of how close we were to escaping because of the false endings.
The games were scheduled way too close together to give the teams adequate time to debrief. We felt like we were kicked out of the room before we could take it all in.
The lobby was way too crowded with people going in and out at the same time. It seems like it would run a lot smoother if the start times were staggered.
The funniest event ever! My group had adults and teens, and we all had the time of our lives.

This was our first time going to an escape room and we didn't know what to expect. It was more fun than we ever imagined!! The Egyptian room was amazing, and our guide, Ben was the best!! We can't wait to go again!!

Had a blast! Maddie was great to work with and she made sure we had fun!

I did the Reactor Room with a group of 9 others and we managed to escape after 45 minutes using a number of clues. Overall the room is very well done with nice props and pleasant surprises, some of which I have not seen in any other escape room.

While the room is not particularly big it did not feel too crowded even at maximum capacity. Puzzles are highly parallel so there is little downtime. Good balance of dexterity and logic puzzles.
A few things for the owner to improve: the string puzzle did not work correctly- time to replace the prop with a new one. A bit more light would be nice. Finally, if you have a giant poster with German text on it, please spend the extra few $$ to have someone translate it properly.
