Set against Norwich’s streets, The Big Escape drops you into a compact, cinematic heist: for 90 minutes you’ll follow a smartphone map, meet Dan Rooney’s crew of pre-filmed characters and work through puzzles and codes to break into a casino safe — then scramble to get away with the loot within a final 15-minute window.
