Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE PLOT

Casino Heist — Crack the Safe

A narrative-driven puzzle run that centers on breaking into a casino safe: teams follow clues and unlock stages of the plan until, at the climax, they blow open the safe and trigger the final race to escape.

THE CAST

Meet the Crew — Jack Potts, Wheels and the Specialists

The experience populates Coventry with named contacts — Dan Rooney’s pre-filmed team on your phone, plus on-route characters such as Jack Potts (the man on the inside), Wheels (the getaway driver), and a roster of safe crackers and hackers who guide your progress.

THE RACE

Timed Finish — 15 Minutes to Escape

The finale is a timed sprint: once the safe is open you have a fixed 15-minute window to complete your escape and collect the loot, turning puzzle-solving into a pressure-filled race against the clock.

What the day feels like

What the Experience Feels Like

You begin by locating Dan Rooney’s crew on a GPS map on your smartphone, then follow a city-wide trail guided by pre-filmed specialists who help you gain access to the casino and meet inside contacts; along the route you work through codes and puzzles, meet key characters, open the safe and — when it’s blown — scramble through a final 15-minute escape phase.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this experience suits and who should reconsider.

1
Small Friend GroupsDesigned around compact teams (2–4 people), this is ideal for small groups who want an interactive, cooperative challenge rather than a passive city tour.
2
FamiliesMarketed as suitable for all ages, families can participate together; younger children will benefit from adult assistance during puzzle sections.
3
Solo TravelersNot ideally suited to solo participation—pricing and structure are built around teams of 2–4 people rather than single entrants.
4
Casual SightseersIf you prefer a leisurely, information-driven walk, note this is an interactive, mission-based experience focused on puzzles and timed objectives rather than sightseeing.
