The good things
- puzzles were logical and varied
- the theming was good.
- friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere
The things we struggled with
- Have to leave the room and walk downstairs to the second part, takes away that magical moment where the set opens and you discover a new room you weren't expecting.
- The hosting style never gelled with us and was never discussed beforehand. We felt like we wasted time as the briefing wasn't clear to us and we're allowed to go down wrong paths when a simply steer would have allowed us to enjoy more of the game.
- the end game seemed pointless. I love the idea (and have seen it before) of 'bonus tasks' after the main objective is done, it's great as you get to enjoy the full hour but there is normally a scoring element to it, this felt like a way to fill the time and the fact the loot wasn't tallied for a score at the end felt like an anti climax.
Maybe we had an off day, I would definitely give the company a try again when next in Newcastle. While not a bad game it didn't quite work for us this time.



One of my all time favourites, the theming of Heist is amazing and some of the best we've experienced. Great story line, varied puzzles and brilliant bonus tasks. The owner ran this game for us and as we were the last group in took the time to explain the few bonus elements we missed.

A fantastic room with a lot to do, including extra credit for collecting as much loot as possible. Great puzzles, great hosting and a great company

Excellent game with lots to do, Exit have created another immersive game with a solid narrative and excellent production. The introduction of addiitonal puzzles (for extra loot) is a great gameplay plus for larger teams and enthusiasts as it keeps everyone occupied, its a must play if you're in Newcastle.
