Heist Tiki is nothing short of an overdose on fun. From the very first moment, we were grinning ear to ear, and that smile never left. It brought us right back to being kids again—curious, playful, and wide-eyed with excitement.

What really stood out is how many moments felt brand new. After playing so many rooms, it’s rare to encounter mechanics and ideas we’ve never seen before, but Heist Tiki managed to surprise us multiple times.

The room leans a bit more on the physical side, which for me is a big plus. Climbing, moving, interacting—it’s not just about solving puzzles with your brain but with your whole body, and that added to the immersion in the best possible way.

Puzzle-wise, Heist Tiki hits a sweet spot: clever and unique without ever tipping into frustration. We were never stuck scratching our heads endlessly, but it also wasn’t a cakewalk. Every solve felt rewarding, and the flow kept us locked in from start to finish.

If I had one small critique, it’s simply that the room could use a touch of TLC—a bit of paint here, a tightened screw there—and it would shine even brighter. But honestly, those details didn’t take away from the experience.

In a city dominated by extreme horror themes, Heist Tiki is an oasis: lighthearted, inventive, and genuinely refreshing. A must-play if you’re looking for pure joy in escape room form.
