Beyond tourist appeals and beautiful views, Palermo, Sicily is also home to a few dubious business men who make their fortunes by draining others of theirs. With a net worth running into millions of dollars, they grow paranoid and have large safes and digital vaults in their houses, to hide and protect their money, since banks cannot be trusted.
You and your associates have received Intel from a reliable inside source about one of these filthy rich men- Giuseppe Aguero. Born and bred in Italy, Giuseppe has a hand all manners of unsavoury business, and diverting most of his funds into his offshore accounts. According to your inside source โ€“ he has a vault in his office which contains a digital server with access to monies he has stashed of approximately $1,000,000 . Your mission is to download as much of the funds as possible and get out of there undetected.
You have to be careful, Giuseppeโ€™s house has security, and even when he is out, his mother is known to often remain present in the house. According to your source, you will need to access the house from the alley. Once inside, you need to access the office and somehow get past the recognition surveillance system to access the vault. There may be other state of the art security systems on the way.
You have approximately one hour before Giuseppe is due to return from a local cartel meet. You must hurry, get in and get out as quick as you can, and preferably with some dough. If youโ€™re spotted, you would have to face Giuseppe, and well โ€“ we know what is going to happen there. If you escape, you are set for life. Good Luck!

Fun and solid room!  It had a few logic leaps but the GM did a great job giving clues (some more pointed when we needed it) and led us to figuring out what to do next.  It had a fun use of AR which was a fun addition.  It was also well decorated and looked great. Definitely recommend!

This is the third game Iโ€™ve played at Cryptic, and the third one thatโ€™s left me with mixed feelings - much thatโ€™s impressive, but also several things that leave me not entirely sold on the room.
This is a robbery game, in which you have to break into a vault owned by a mafia boss, with the unusual twist that you wonโ€™t be stealing cash, youโ€™ll be making digital transfers once you reach the control panel from which to do so.
Another unusual twist in this room is that it uses augmented reality. ...
