60 minutes

It’s a Bank Holiday weekend in Royal Tunbridge Wells.

Two days ago, there was an attempted Robbery on Wells & Sons Jewellers by a local gang named ‘The Diamond Dogs’, led by Terry ‘The T-Bone’ Steak. The deadly gang were planning to lift the famous and rare Montogomery Diamond.

Unfortunately, the thieves got spooked halfway through the heist by a keen and suspicious security guard, so they fled the scene with the intention to return before the Bank Holiday weekend is over.

However, some of the gang have got cold feet, so now Terry has called you with a deal you can’t refuse: Get him the Royal Diamond and you can loot for yourselves whatever you can get your hands on!

Do you have the ingenuity to execute this meticulously designed heist, cracking the security system, breaking through the vault, avoiding capture by the police, and escaping with the famous Montogomery Diamond?
Choose your gang wisely - one wrong move and the plan is foiled!

The experience was special for me because I played it alone. „ Crackers“ was incredibly nice and supportive and the highly motivated game mastress, Alice, did a fantastic job. The room addresses the typical burglary jewel robbery scenario and contains funny effects, which are not new, but which is quite clear in a room that opened about five years ago. But he is well maintained and the (many) puzzles all make sense. So the room is a clear recommendation!

LOVED this!! Every room set was brilliantly designed, the puzzles were satisfying and fun to solve, the whole theming was brilliant, and the ending was fabulously fast paced and intense.

One of my favourite starts to a game in a while! Some really clever puzzles throughout and a lot to get through within the hour. The ending whilst fun felt quite repetitive and I was a bit glad when it was over but otherwise great fun!

Reviews by escape room review sites

There are many things to love about Clue Cracker's heist game Diamond Dogs, but I can't deny that what really made it for me was the opening sequence. Immersive, playful and gloriously silly, it's a fantastic start to an excellent game.

There are tentative narrative links between this game and the venue's original Jailbreak, though to most intents and purposes they're entirely separate games. Your mission in this one is to rob a jewellery shop, with rules that enthusiasts may have seen in simil...

Diamond Dogs has shown that it’s true you should never judge a book by its cover, proving that a heist game can be adrenaline-fuelled, immersive and exciting; full of twists and turns, inventive puzzles, and with a strong story. TL; DR - this game is fantastic

Our time (played as a two) of four seconds remaining will give you a much better idea than any description could!

On Sunday we headed to Tunbridge Wells to partake in a heist. Yes, you read that right, a heist. We joined Terry T-Bone and his crew at Clue Cracker to steal the Montgomery Diamond in The Diamond Dogs escape room. We arrived earlier than planned but we were greeted by our host and GM Luke. He explained about the room and told us about the diamond. He then led us upstairs and into the room.

In short, this prequel to the Jail Break game hits a home run (if you can combine the two games in one day I would highly recommend it!). All in all, our checklist for a great room has been ticked playing this one. Great puzzles, brilliantly atmospheric, subtle use of humour and a great flow, make this a room not to be missed. Its SAFE to say you'll love it!
