Museum heist – Revelstuck

Played on July 4th, 2022 by:

We began our evening at Revelstuck with the Museum Heist. In this scenario, we discover that an ancient relic worth millions of dollars is housed in a small local museum. Historians from the big city are scheduled to retrieve it in the morning, giving us only one hour to steal the relic and make our escape. It’s a classic robbery scenario with meticulous detail.

The decors were good and complemented the story well. However, there was some inconsistency, with certain elements being highly impressive while others were more basic. Additionally, we noticed that some accessories appeared worn and overused. Nonetheless, overall, they did a great job of recreating a museum setting. We particularly admired the funny escape route from the room—it’s truly brilliant! The music played during the game added to the experience and was enjoyable.

We liked most of the puzzles but thought that the flow wasn’t that great. Also, some of them were not related to the theme. There was a good balance between automatic mechanisms, traditional locks and manipulation puzzles. For the hints, the game master helped us with a walkie talkie. 

Overall, the decors are a bit basic and most puzzles were fun to solve. It’s perfect for families and small groups. We are not very happy with our performance as we asked for 4 hints! We liked it okay and we escaped!
