Self-guided outdoor escape room in which groups of two to eight players use a mobile app to crack codes and solve puzzles at Lincoln's iconic landmarks.
Heist Society have brought their Bank Heist Experience to Lincoln, an outdoor escape room that turns the city streets into a crime scene. It's a self-guided thing, so you pick your own day and time to start rather than working around a set slot.
The premise drops you into the role of a ruthless crew planning the score of a lifetime at the Golden Crown Bank, a vault with a legendary reputation for security. Instead of being locked in a room, you're out in the open: a mobile app acts as your guide, and you trek through Lincoln cracking codes and solving puzzles linked to some of the city's most iconic landmarks. The goal is to pull off the heist and escape without leaving a trace.
It works for groups of two to eight players, with everyone playing on their own phone. The route runs about 2-3km, and it takes around two hours to complete, so it's a decent walk around the centre rather than a quick stop. Heist Society runs similar adventures in cities across the world — Edinburgh, Falkirk, Ottawa, Reading, Melbourne, Cambridge, Chester, Lynnwood, Birmingham and Charlottesville are all on the list — so this is their Lincoln take on the format.
