The Covert Acquisition & Tactical Services: Brum Division is looking to recruit a team to take on a particularly tough job.
The primary objective is the retrieval of the Moonstone Diamond from the main safe of Barrington's Jewellers, located in the heart of Birmingham's historic Jewellery Quarter; security has been handled, we need your team to make entrance to the premises locate the main safe, crack the code, and retrieve its contents.
The Barrington Blue diamond is also believed to be on the premises, this is your secondary objective - if you have time!

A really fun heist style room with one main objective and a side quest (where no hints or help is available) for added fun. We managed both tasks with a few minutes to spare.
Great hosting from El, some new tech items which I haven't seen used in a room before. Great fun and a sense of achievement when we finished it all.
Loved having the second objective to make it harder and maximise playtime. Nearly completed both!
A fun heist concept with layers and a variety of puzzle types. We completed the primary objective in 48 mins, but the secondary objective took us right up to the finish line! A tricky room with great hosting 🙂
This is a heist room where your sole mission comes with an extra side mission. We've all done heist rooms, so you know that the more you can secure, the better it's going to be in the end. This is a diamond heist. I wouldn't say this is my favourite room at the location, but I am not a fan of heist themes to start with.
Once again, the theming is spot-on with clear connections to the Jewellery Quarter, which is great with this company. The owner ran our game, so the hosting can't be faulted here.
I found the room busy in terms of puzzles display and routes (especially the second part of the room), which is pretty common for heist themes. Perhaps, it was a little too busy due to the space restrictions, so this can be very challenging for beginner teams.
I'd say, it's best suited for experienced teams. Also, you probably want a group of 4 at least to tackle all the puzzles in the second part of the room.
Really fun room - good story which was well explained. The room was well hosted with the couple of clues we had being pointers rather than giving anything away. Nice mix of things to do. We managed to complete the primary and secondary tasks with a few minutes to spare - all four of us really enjoyed it. We'll be back! 🙂
