The great hosting makes this room, this is a room that the more you put into it the funnier it gets.

A good game for interaction and different from the usual escape room. It felt like the interaction is a way to lengthen gameplay as ultimately the puzzles/tasks are fairly easy to complete. A fun game and something different.

Fantastic room with live acting element. Keeps surprising you and very suspenseful. Variety of puzzles, interesting but not overly complicated. Great fun

Very funny game, unique interactions with gm.  Amazing large set too.  However, some  puzzles didn't feel all that logical and a lot of gameplay was spent "acting" rather than doing puzzles.  A nice change from the norm and the set creates a great realistic van to street to bank robbery scene.

This is a very quirky game and it definitely has some interesting concepts.  Its not bad at all but a few things let it down for me which would be easy fixes.  

Waiting in reception at the arrival time mean you hear things/noises from the group before that are finishing off which is a bit of a spoiler.

I did'nt really gel with the room and I think that is because there is only 1 torch and I never had control of that and without it there is'nt that much you can do as its all so dark.  I feel its very limiting on what can be done making everyone stay as a group.  I really think more torches are needed to allow more people to explore and get into the game fully.

Finally, I am not a fan of rooms where you have to act or do the thing you needed to do to get the discount on the food order, sorry but I am not a fan of the role play/acting side of it.

But in general its not a bad room, decent mix of tasks to complete.  Would'nt suggest having more than 4 people at most as I just don't think theres the space or light for anymore to get involved, even as a 3 it felt about the right number.

Enjoyable, and great interaction with the gamemaster! Great large set and definitely lots of fun moments however some of the puzzles felt illogical and there were a few times where all four of us were solving one puzzle as there was nothing else to do.

What sets Rob the Bank apart from other bank heist escape rooms are the puzzles. They really ask the question: how do you rob a bank? This escape room’s answer is… Dare I say it, quite realistic.
