Join Dan Rooney and his crew for an adrenalined, 90‑minute heist that turns Lisbon into a playable map: use your smartphone’s GPS to rendezvous with pre‑filmed members of the gang, solve codes and puzzles with their help, gain access to the casino, and — if you succeed — blow open the safe and make a timed getaway.

Outing Highlights

THE CITY

Lisbon as a Gameboard

The experience unfolds across the city, using streets and public spaces as narrative beats while a smartphone GPS map guides teams from one staged encounter to the next.

THE CAST

Dan Rooney and a Team of Specialists

You’ll meet Dan Rooney’s pre‑filmed crew — including inside man Jack Potts, a driver called Wheels, safe crackers and hackers — each of whom provides the clues or access needed to advance the heist.

THE CLIMAX

Blow the Casino Safe, Then Get Out

The final act is cinematic and urgent: crack the codes, open the casino safe, and then race the clock — once the safe is opened you have a 15‑minute window to escape with the loot.

What the day feels like

What the Run Feels Like

The Big Escape is an interactive, fast‑paced city game: teams of friends use a smartphone GPS map to find staged, pre‑filmed crew members who supply hacks and codes, then piece together puzzles to access the casino and trigger the heist sequence — all within a tightly timed 90‑minute window.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who gets the most out of this experience — and who should think twice.

1
Small GroupsIdeal: the format is built around teams of 2–4 people, so small groups are the designed unit for play and scoring.
2
Solo TravelersNot ideal: the game is structured for multi‑person teams rather than solo participants.
3
Corporate TeamsWell suited: small teams work together under time pressure, which makes it a compact option for team‑building within the 2–4 person format.
4
Friends & WeekendersGood match: groups of friends who want a short, intense collaborative puzzle experience should fit neatly into the 2–4 person team model.
