📖 THE STORY

Yesterday, your team pulled off the near-impossible, capturing an armoured truck full of cash! The police are closing in on the hideout, so you need to get to work recovering the millions from the vehicle before the cops catch you red handed!


Did the rest of your team leave you everything you need in the garage, to break into the truck successfully? Are your skills up to the challenge?


🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

  • We weren't quite prepared for how impressive the 'room' was going to be upon first sight. You would not be blamed for thinking you were in a real mechanic's garage. The walls are full of decorative auto signs, there are working props, and even an office. Everything looked incredibly authentic.

  • Having a genuine armoured truck in an escape room, with built in special effects, deserves it's own Bullseye point! Obviously this is the focal point and highlight of the room. But the truck is not just a pretty prop, we get to climb in, on, and under it, interacting with it in many ways and many times. It was a lot of fun!

  • Often companies struggle to keep their story involved or ways to make it remain relevant throughout. Here, the game is all about the story. Everything you do is directly and thematically linked to achieving your goal, making this an incredibly immersive experience.

  • The puzzles were all thematically linked to the story and goal; making the vehicle safe, finding a way to get inside, and of course, stealing the loot.


🧩 MISSED THE MARK

  • Although the puzzles were very thematic, there wasn't a lot of substance to them, with a high emphasis on searching, rather than doing. Our GM likened the game more as a scavenger hunt than traditional escape room; which we would agree with. Whilst this was a somewhat negative point for us, it may not affect others in any way.

  • Regarding the puzzles, we also wished there had been more team oriented challenges. Aside from the searching there isn't much to keep all players actively engaged, as most puzzles can be solved by one person only.

  • I was surprised that there was not more of a welcoming lobby. The reception area is painted entirely black and consists of only a desk, with no seats or storage facilities. Teams store their belongings in the room with them.


🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

As stated, this room is visually unbelievable and in itself worth the visit. However, be assured that this is a challenging room which requires detailed searching and some out of the box thinking.


ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO

  • Free Parking is available at the rear, one spot per group/ room

  • There is a lobby, but no seating available

  • We were offered a free soft drink after each of our two games
