It was a fun room with decent puzzles, but be wary if you have bad knees. It required a lot of sitting on the floor and crouching, which I struggled with, causing us to run over by 2 minutes. They let us finish the room because we were so close. A few pretty cool puzzles, although one was a little janky.

Reviews by escape room review sites

This room stood out for the sheer crazy number of keys involved - when you're used to getting excited over each hard-won key, it's entertaining to have such a profusion of the things.

For a heist theme I'd point players to Enigma Quests or maybe ClueTrace first, but this was a perfectly decent series of puzzles.

Outside the room Back in October, Escape Entertainment appeared on the London scene, taking over the venue that used to house Escape Hunt. We'd visited in December and, while Prohibition Pandemonium was better than its predecessors, I still found it disappointing – not enough to keep ten people occupied, obtuse puzzles and uninspiring decor. With that, Bank Heist had fallen to the

Escape Entertainment is best equipped for corporate team-building days... And yeah! It makes sense. There are in fact 6 identical "Bank Heist" rooms in the building, allowing for up to 36 players to simultaneously go head to head. On the rainy Saturday morning we'd chosen, the site was deserted.
