A thief for a noble cause
Dr John Albright, a Da Vinci scholar, has amassed a private collection reputed to include the Holy Grail. After years of helping him “acquire” items, you know his house and his security. The professor is away — and now’s your chance.
You have sixty minutes to break in, follow the riddles, seize the Grail and escape before he returns. It’s a classic, cerebral escape room with no scares — pure puzzle-solving, and one of our most satisfying rooms to crack.
