THE GAME

A timed, team-driven heist

This is a 90-minute, city-wide interactive adventure in which teams use a smartphone to navigate, crack codes and solve puzzles to access a casino safe and make a timed escape.

THE CAST

Meet Dan Rooney’s crew

Throughout the route you encounter pre-filmed members of Dan Rooney’s team — specialists who guide the plot as you meet characters such as Jack Potts (the man on the inside), Wheels (the getaway driver) and other safe crackers and hackers.

THE FINISH

Explosive finale with a 15-minute escape

Once the safe is opened the clock tightens: the scenario gives teams 15 minutes to escape with the loot, turning puzzle-solving into a final sprint against time.

What the day feels like

What the experience feels like

The Big Escape unfolds like a short, cinematic caper: using your smartphone GPS you locate meeting points, trigger interactions with Dan Rooney’s crew, work through codes and digital puzzles with teammates, force open the casino safe and then race to exit within a fifteen-minute window — all contained in a compact 90-minute run.
