Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE HEIST

A tight, timed casino caper

This experience is built around a single, urgent objective: breach the casino safe and then make your escape within the final 15 minutes. The entire drama unfolds in 90 minutes of puzzle-solving and role-play.

THE CAST

Meet Dan Rooney’s crew

Along the route you encounter pre-filmed members of Dan’s team — from Jack Potts, the man on the inside, to Wheels, the getaway driver — who supply roles, clues and narrative beats as you progress.

THE RACE

A GPS-led city chase

Teams use a smartphone GPS map to locate collaborators and puzzles across the city, collaborating with safe crackers and hackers to progress through a scripted, time-sensitive sequence.
