The dastardly Dr Nogood has been running an underground gambling den in the centre of Letchworth. Inside there is a secret vault where he and his gang of thieves have been storing all their ill gotten gains and your team has been chosen to recover the stolen items. At 60 minutes the vault will fill with poisonous gas and that will be the end of you and the mission. Can you get in, get as much as you can and get out as close to 60 minutes as possible?

great hosting
A room of two halves. The first half was nicely themed and had some good puzzles. Later parts had a huge amount of padlocks and sort of fit the theme but it was a stretch.
Feels like it needed another pass to bring it all together coherently.
We looovveedd this room - couldn't fault a thing, the theming was great, and there was so much to do!! Duel agenda room - you need to escape but also get as much loot as possible - this meant there were some puzzles we didn't managed to crack in the time but the gamesmaster was great and showed us the solutions at the end. Highly recommend this room.
This was an incredibly enjoyable heist game! From start to finish, it was packed with excitement, and the clever signposting made sure we were constantly engaged, solving puzzles throughout the entire hour. The ending was absolutely fantastic and really tied everything together in a satisfying way. I absolutely loved this game. Every puzzle was carefully thought out and logical, which made the experience all the more rewarding. It was just a bit of a shame we were left with five padlocks still to unlockβwe were so close to completing everything!
Without a doubt, this is my favourite heist-themed game I've ever played. I highly recommend paying Agent Brains a visit to experience it for yourself.

This room was fantastic and a great surprise - not much I can fault at all! Hosting was superb, the attention to detail in the room itself was great with superb theming, and there was a lot of puzzles to do with great variety to each. Wasnβt expecting to like this one as much as I did! Definitely among my favourites!
I'll start off this review by saying I don't normally like heist style games but I thoroughly enjoyed this one! The signposting for all of the puzzles was excellent and having a clear system for knowing which puzzles you had done / had left to do was really handy. The puzzles were hugely mixed from simple observation to maths to dexterity. Everything felt super immersive and we were chuffed to have robbed all but 5 items by the time we made our escape!
I really loved this room. So much fun and not like any other rooms I have played before. Probably best suited to a larger group but we played in a 2 and still had a great time. Amazing!
BEST HEIST ROOM that we have played to date!! Very immersive and puzzle heavy, just like we like it! Shout out to our fabulous games host, Bee!! Thank you for a great visit!

Wow, just wow. The design on here is absolutely incredible and I audibly gasped when we entered the main areas. Stunning room and props, clever puzzles, sooooo much to do and lots of back and forth which was great as I need the exercise! We managed to get ALL the loot which pleased our GM immensely, and had a lot of fun doing it. Somr really clever codes, observation puzzles and others which I won't spoil but thought were super neat. Go and take the challenge. Best Heist style room I've yet done. This whole venue is superb, and the owners and GMs are fun, passionate and engaging. Strongly recommended!
Excellent game with so much to do! The set is well constructed and immersive and felt like a game of two halves blended well together. Excellent signposting and wonderfully hosted.

This was a collection style room with I imagine nearly all groups not having enough time to complete all of the puzzles it was a challenge to collect as much loot as possible and escape close to the 60 minutes. For the amount of content in the room it was great to see such a variety of puzzles from observation to a little more challenging thinking needed. The room could easily manage a large group and almost felt that you need more people to really make the most of all that was available to do at the same time. I would recommend to anyone that loves a challenge of lots to do and keeping busy for a full 60 minutes and find they normally finish with time to spare.

We were all on a bit of an adrenaline high when we finished this one; it definitely kept us running around like mad and operating on all cylinders. Mobbery is the most challenging game at Agent Brains; though, as mentioned, there definitely are some more accessible puzzles, and less experienced players could still have a great time just getting as much as they could. (However, for real beginners, I would suggest starting with The Lab.) It was one of my favorite games I played in London and highly recommended for anyone looking to channel their inner thief (for a just causeβ¦)!
We love, love, love Agent Brains and were thrilled, having played their original three games a while ago, that they have now expanded with a second location just around the corner from their first. Took us a bit of time to get organised but finally managed a birthday celebration double-header.
