Absolutely awesome game. Designed to have too many puzzles, so you will NOT finish every single thing in the room, and designed to take the full hour. A definite must play.
Loved this game. Made me smile the whole way through. The suspense and need to do more was exhilarating. Really deserves all its hype. I wouldn’t say it was extremely polished but that could be forgiven for all the fun looting the safe!
This is a great game - on a common theme, but still immersive, and you are unlikely to run out of things to do. If you like puzzles, they are all here, and you will get to use your full time doing them. Non-linear and many choices to be made!
The best game we’ve played - it felt like being in oceans 11. Would definitely recommend for anyone who usually enjoys a heist room!
Reviews by escape room review sites
This was a fantastic room, the action was non-stop, frantic and fun. This is not your typical linear escape room - this is PUZZLEMANIA! Our GM Mark, who is also a co-owner, was in character, and really seemed to enjoy his role and giving the briefings and hints.
The room allows you to split up and work on different strengths, but also to team up into smaller groups or pairs to collaborate on puzzles.
We certainly got our steps in this room - and whilst the space is open and bright, there are some doorways where you can clash, so just be mindful while you run about!
This room will delight puzzle fans, those who love combination locks, fans of Heist movies such as Ocean’s 11, and those who have always wanted to go on a crime spree but would never want to break the law 🙂
After the game, Mark was happy to fill us in on any missed puzzles and the amazing hidden secret - so much so that we were still in the room long past when we were due to leave! We came out as the 4th “richest” of all groups to have taken on the heist, and the top spot for a group of three, with £1,773,009.19 worth of loot (98% of all available items) - so we were absolutely thrilled. I wanted to go back in and do it all again!!
There are SO many puzzles, locks, tasks and fun things in this room that even in a group of 8, all will get a chance to solve something. The technology behind some of them I had not seen before - and there is such variety in the room that I think even if you did revisit the room you could find puzzles you hadn’t solved the last time, and take those on between you.
I do hope they make another game like this one - however for the sake of the sanity of whoever has to reset all the items we displaced - they may have other ideas!
Cryptology are always great at creating a really immersive, authentic space for their rooms, but Daylight Robbery is SOMETHING ELSE! The Nottingham Cryptology HQ is in an old bank and so the brilliance of Daylight Robbery is that this bank heist takes place in an ACTUAL BANK VAULT.
Quite simply one of the best escape rooms we have ever played. Enjoyable from start to finish and a must play game for enthusiasts and beginners alike. Superb!
Daylight Robbery can only be described as an hour of chaotic puzzle solving and it was just so much fun, if a little stressful at times. Read more in our review!
