Really enjoyed the first 3/4 of the game as the puzzles were interesting, great use of tech and physical elements. The last part felt a bit tedious and just for sucking away time.

There were some puzzles here I really liked! But also quite a few elements that kind of bothered me, from similar details being used in multiple puzzles, to only one person being able to hear what the GM was saying for clues. There was a nice piece of physical answer input that I really liked though and really gave it that “heist” feel.
Overall pretty fun, I think I would’ve liked it more if I hadn’t been expecting a lot more from the price, wasn’t quite as “epic” as you’d expect for £35 a head, but hey, maybe that’s just london for you

Outcome: Successful escape!

Hosts unfortunately forgot to close all the secret doors which spoilt a couple of surprises but they clearly felt bad and did what they could to pop in a minimize the disruption. Quite expensive but a lot of fun, great puzzles quite high-tec. Bit too much reading I would say at the start as excitement is at its peak and you want some interactive puzzles to sink your teeth into.

Overall a fun room, lots of explore. Would definitely try others at the venue!

Reviews by escape room review sites

In an unusual twist, this room isn't about escaping as quickly as possible - instead, you're aiming to escape with as much cash as possible, and the better you do the more you'll get out with.

There's maybe an over-reliance on the 'laminated sheet of A4' type of clue here, and the scoring mechanism is something you could either like or hate. Personally I found it refreshingly different and enjoyed the room a lot. I also really like Enigma Quests' style of (almost) zero padlock room designs.

A pretty game with an outstanding clue system that managed to avoid breaking the immersion. The puzzles were the weak link in the chain - a couple felt a bit tenuous and the final challenge left me disappointed.

The aim of The Million Pound Heist isn’t to escape in the fastest time, it’s to escape with the most money. This is for the best, as we actually missed a vital clue at the end of our game, and walked out of the room thinking we’d finished with a whopping 35 minutes left on the clock. Our Games Master came rushing out to tell us we’d missed something and that we could go back in if we wanted and try to get some more money with our remaining 35 minutes… Oops!
