Shirley’s Diner was known for its strong coffee, relaxing atmosphere and no nonsense waitresses. But today, the calm of this all American diner has been destroyed forever. The bomb that was planted in the microwave has exploded with devastating consequences. We know Brad had an axe to grind and all the evidence was pointing to him. Now sat in a prison cell, he has asked you, his best friends, his only hope, to find his rucksack. Will this spare him prison or send him down for years?

A really interesting room that flowed brilliantly well from start to finish. I played the second version when it was slightly more 'exploded' than previously but I don't feel like I missed out on anything not playing version 1. Was a slightly slow start with some boring initial puzzles but it really picked up towards the end, especially with an enthusiastic team.

great hosting
A mostly linear game with a series of puzzles that vary from physical to observation and logic. Puzzles are solved with either a padlock (all the favourites) and maglock. Theming is adequate for the story conveyed but elements feel tired and in need of a refresh. This is my favourite game at the venue and the second area is probably the best themed here as well.
This game was ok. Not very memorable apart from the ridiculously loud sound track. Had to leave the room so the GM could hear us to ask them to turn it down.
Some outside knowledge was needed for one puzzle which was unexpected.
Out of the two of their rooms I’ve done so far, I preferred Hotel Heist because I found the puzzles a little more diverse and interesting. But it’s a solid room and well worth a visit.
