Fifth room of the day ended up being my joint favourite of the weekend (with Orbital).
We've done many of these "try to nick as much as you can" games and this is one of the better ones, if not the best.
Great use of tech - and even better because the tech worked like it was supposed to and I did genuinely at times feel like I was really breaking into a vault. Not a massive fan of the beginning but once we'd got through that then the fun started. So. Many. Puzzles. We like to play as small groups but I wish we'd been a 4 or a 5 for this.
Part of me wishes we'd played this earlier on in the day as you need a lot of stamina - both physical and mental to get a score that an enthusiast would be happy with. We were a bit dozy through some of this and it probably cost us about £300k+. In fact there's one element we missed out on which would have given us buckets of loot that I've kicked myself daily for missing ever since.
Fantastic room.
Accessibility: Steep stairs down to the room (which you then have to come up). One person needs to be dexterous. I think there's one instance of ducking but there were ten rooms in the weekend and I can't rightly remember...
We enjoyed this and it's made great use of the original features of the building. I just wish the host would have explained the concept in more detail before we started so we fully understood some of the features. Definately a game that could take 6 plus players. As a family of 4 with two younger players we could have done 2 hours!
Very enjoyable collection-style game - loads to do means you're sure to get your money's worth - our team of five was kept busy for the full hour, with a good variety of puzzle types, and some fun use of tools and props to make it feel like you're performing a bank heist.
Excellent (energetic!) hosting, and clues were delivered to nudge us along which meant there was never a time any of us didn't have something to be actively working on. Family friendly (although access was somewhat tricky for anyone with mobility issues), and it was a pleasant surprise to find that kids under 15yrs old were eligible for a reduced-rate ticket.

Nottingham is full of rooms that are beloved by enthusiasts, and Daylight Robbery has become one of the most frequently and warmly recommended of those. In a way it’s an evolution of what Cryptology did with Dreamscape, in that both are score-based games with plenty of parallel play that suits larger groups; but Daylight Robbery takes those characteristics and turns them up to the max.
That might not be instantly obvious - the game doesn’t plunge you into the mayhem immediately. But although it...
This was a fantastic room, the action was non-stop, frantic and fun. This is not your typical linear escape room - this is PUZZLEMANIA! Our GM Mark, who is also a co-owner, was in character, and really seemed to enjoy his role and giving the briefings and hints.
The room allows you to split up and work on different strengths, but also to team up into smaller groups or pairs to collaborate on puzzles.
We certainly got our steps in this room - and whilst the space is open and bright, there are some doorways where you can clash, so just be mindful while you run about!
This room will delight puzzle fans, those who love combination locks, fans of Heist movies such as Ocean’s 11, and those who have always wanted to go on a crime spree but would never want to break the law 🙂
After the game, Mark was happy to fill us in on any missed puzzles and the amazing hidden secret - so much so that we were still in the room long past when we were due to leave! We came out as the 4th “richest” of all groups to have taken on the heist, and the top spot for a group of three, with £1,773,009.19 worth of loot (98% of all available items) - so we were absolutely thrilled. I wanted to go back in and do it all again!!
There are SO many puzzles, locks, tasks and fun things in this room that even in a group of 8, all will get a chance to solve something. The technology behind some of them I had not seen before - and there is such variety in the room that I think even if you did revisit the room you could find puzzles you hadn’t solved the last time, and take those on between you.
I do hope they make another game like this one - however for the sake of the sanity of whoever has to reset all the items we displaced - they may have other ideas!
Cryptology are always great at creating a really immersive, authentic space for their rooms, but Daylight Robbery is SOMETHING ELSE! The Nottingham Cryptology HQ is in an old bank and so the brilliance of Daylight Robbery is that this bank heist takes place in an ACTUAL BANK VAULT.
Daylight Robbery can only be described as an hour of chaotic puzzle solving and it was just so much fun, if a little stressful at times. Read more in our review!
Quite simply one of the best escape rooms we have ever played. Enjoyable from start to finish and a must play game for enthusiasts and beginners alike. Superb!
