Kingston Escape Rooms are still operating as a COVID secure venue. This does mean masks are mandatory whilst entering their venue and playing any of their games, unless exempt. This is a business decision to protect the staff and to stay as safe as possible. They can provide masks and do also request for you to wash your hands prior to playing any of the games. 

With this said, we delve into Rob The Bank…

“Angie knows who stole the family gold – it’s midnight and she backs her Ford Transit into the side of Harman’s Bank. You and your team have one hour to jump out and get the gold back. Will you find it? Will you make it out in time?

Wear comfortable shoes and dark clothing. Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s time to Rob the Bank.”

Puzzles & Flow: 9/10
The puzzles in the room were witty and fresh, with so many of them being perfectly embedded into the story to progress it along to robbing a bank. From a UV puzzle to stealing a bank card before finally trying to get to the gold, everything felt realistic and genuine to get to the end goal. The flow of the room is actually controlled perfectly and can be adjusted per group, allowing all kinds of players to play this game and get to maximise time and money on this experience. There was so many stand out moments and puzzles in this game, our highlight has to be the interactivity with the puzzles and how this differs for each group.

Uniqueness: 9/10
The uniqueness of Rob The Bank is up there as one of the most creative and original. Whilst a bank / robbery / vault escape theme is very common, we have not experienced anything like this. Interactivity is the key difference here, with a handful of puzzles requiring a different way than usual to solve. This makes them fun for the players and to use a different set of skills than your average escape room. Without giving too much away about what happens in Rob The Bank, lets say you may need to make a few calls first.

Overall, Rob The Bank is one of our favourites and highest rated escape games played to date. With interactivity, original and passion used in each and every experience, you are only guaranteed to have the best time when visiting Kingston Escape Rooms. 

A massive shout out to Dave our Games Master & Frank who invited us over to play Rob The Bank and taking time to talk to us about the business and the game. We cannot wait to return and play the Crazy Cat Lady room!
