THE GAME

A City‑Wide Casino Heist

This is an interactive, city‑wide escape built around a casino break‑in — teams race through puzzles and codes with the aim of accessing and opening the casino safe.

THE CAST

Meet Dan Rooney’s Crew

You connect with Dan Rooney and his pre‑filmed team of specialists — including an insider, a driver and a roster of safe‑crackers and hackers — who guide your progress as the plot unfolds.

THE RUSH

A Timed Escape with High Stakes

Once the safe is opened the finale tightens: after blowing the safe you have a final 15 minutes to make your escape before time runs out.
