Will you play it safe or go for the big score in this ultimate game of Heist and Seek?

Legend has it that the creepy old man at the end of Chapel Street hid the spoils of a notorious bank heist in his eerie, seemingly abandoned house. The crown, a priceless relic once locked in a high-security vault, was stolen by the old man’s gang. It is now rumoured to be hidden in his basement.

You’ll need to explore the dark, decaying, cluttered basement to unravel the old man’s twisted puzzles. But there is more than just the crown to be found. If you’re experienced enough at this kind of thing, extra treasure can be grabbed along the way, but every minute spent chasing bonuses increases your chances of being caught!

Your goal is simple: get in, get the crown, and get out before the nosy neighbours get suspicious. If you’ve got time, maybe crack a few of those safety deposit boxes. But don’t push your luck!

The clock is ticking. Let the hunt begin!

Wanted to play this for ages but didn't get organised until today. Really fun game full of clever puzzles with lots of side quests that would keep everyone in a larger group involved. Great hosting and a really imaginative and original way of keeping time. If you are in the area, don't miss it. The icing on the cake is they have another game opening in 6 weeks time. We will return!

Really enjoyed the puzzles in this room, the theme and atmosphere, and it’s got a great bonus of you being to solve extra puzzles if you’ve got spare time.

Great room. Loved the theming throughout from getting to the room to the room itself. Great that all of the space was used. Puzzles…there are a lot of them and are quite tricky so don’t spend too long thinking. The mobile phone help system was a great addition. Some of the sounds/music could’ve been slightly louder. 

Loved the addition of looking for more loot when you are done. Great addition for teams who normally are rapid at rooms. For a group of 2 we were hard pushed to get the essentials but this added to the immersion.

Our host was great and was very understanding and we can’t thank her enough for being supportive.
