Your target for this Heist mission is James Fawkes, a wealthy collector of rare artifacts, CEO of Fawkes Industries, and puzzle enthusiast. This isn’t an ordinary heist. Normal people keep their valuables in a metal safe but not Mr. Fawkes. He keeps what we are looking for hidden behind a number of elaborately constructed puzzles. X’s job was to get into the mansion undetected. Your team will be responsible for helping them through the mansion, gaining access to Mr. Fawkes’ financial information and making a transfer of funds from his account into your team’s account. Be careful to ensure your team stays undetected. Can you direct your team and weave your way through Fawkes elaborate puzzles in time to pull off “The Heist”?

Don't be fooled by the company name and brand - this isn't related to the UK Breakout Escape room chain beyond bearing the same logo (apparently they liked it so much they licensed it).

This is a solid heist game with some fun puzzles. The inventory system was a little finickity which meant that you sometimes missed some of the elements in the room that you could interact with. OTOH there was an interesting and unusual mechanic to give you access to the inventory system which was by far the most thematic of the games I've played. Kudos for creating that so quickly.

Warning: in our game the camera work was decidedly shaky so if that gives you motion sickness, let them know ahead of time.

Better-than-expected heist game, with a decent custom inventory system and a good enthusiastic GM.

The inventory interface allows for a small amount of "self-play" so that some puzzles can actually be played by the players. Wish more of the remote-play places tried this.
