Some really nice theming and a couple of fiendish logic puzzles are your opponents in this mafia themed room.  Some clever reveals and story flow keep the game moving along.

This room is quite unique. The theming is basic but still good. Most puzzle is very unique but there is only 1 puzzle that got us frustrated as it was really confusing

Reviews by escape room review sites

I also found The Don stood out for me less than The Panic Room's other games. That however is I think more a testament to the quality of the venue than anything wrong with The Don!

The game sees you sneaking into the home of a Mafia godfather, searching for the crucial evidence to get him locked up - with the first challenge being to get into his inner sanctum.

The decor is not so much showy as opulent, in an understated way, and it does a great job of conveying the private den of a wealthy th...

A solid room, which enthusiasts and new players alike will enjoy. A lot to do for a team of two, but plenty of space for larger teams
90s multimedia may not sound like a great theme for a room, yet somehow it all comes together in the third Panic Room game we played, as we’d unwittingly saved the best until last. Like The Lab, The Don is located at The Panic Room’s original premises. As that site hosts three games, the waiting area was a little more developed, including a small shop selling β€œEscape Room In a Box” experiences (and at reasonable prices too).
The dΓ©cor was very simple in comparison to some rooms but good for the theme, with some excellent locks we’d never seen before and everything seemed to flow nicely to the final challenge.
A well-made but fairly traditional escape room with an all-round solid experience.
