Review of Pirates

The minute we set foot inside this room, something felt very familiar, and slowly but sure, I knew we had played in this room earlier, maybe in Hamburg. Some parts looked different, so we went ahead and played it while the gamemaster checked if the other room was available. Real friendly guy.

It was a pretty good standard escape room experience with puzzles and locks and clues, in the pirate theme. The decor was immersive and the puzzles pretty new and on-theme with skeletons, pirate hats and pistols and loot.

We liked this one and would recommend Pirates if you're in Zurich and looking for an escape room to experience.

Review of Bank Robbery

You have 60 minutes to rob a bank, without anyone looking. A pretty intense storyline will be explained to you before entering the bank. One of us was a professional hacker and the other was a master thief, which reminded us of Parker from Leverage.

Quite a straightforward room with good flow and interesting puzzles, not to forget, the lasers. But you can't really see the lasers unless you do a set of actions to reveal them. The way out seemed a bit dangerous though. It would be great if it was made to be less strenuous to get out of the room.

Apart from the issue with the exit, we liked this one and would recommend Bank Robbery if you're in Zurich and looking for an escape room.
