Your world-class espionage outfit has landed you inside a prestigious art museum. A recently stolen masterpiece is presumed hidden within the office of the museum’s egotistical curator, Vincent Hahn. With the help of your intelligence agent on the outside, you have one hour to find your way into Hahn’s office, recover the painting, and slip away before Hahn returns.

Lovely hosts, very capable remote agent and some really nice uses of tech and a good mix of puzzles to keep us busy. Did it as a work social experience and it worked very well. The inventory and online room scan website they use is great - very handy for when you want to explore on your own or look at something specific when the agent is looking elsewhere. Worked well too!

Reviews by escape room review sites

We have always been a fan of escape rooms at The Escape Game. Their physical locations always felt professional yet welcoming. This was our first remote escape room experience with them and we attempted "The Heist". Our mission was to break into Vincent Hahn's office and retrieve a stolen painting.

We all enjoyed this room, just not as much as Prison Break! I think it’s a shame when you play the better room first as it will always negatively affect your view of the second play, but we just didn’t find the puzzles as engaging and innovative as we had in Prison Break. Still a solid room though with some interesting elements that we all enjoyed.
A visually stunning online escape room with stand out puzzles for all abilities.
