YOur Mission
Can you retrieve the blueprints for the vault?
You have been hand selected for a once in a lifetime opportunity: the chance to steal the world’s greatest treasure from none other than the world’s greatest thief!
My name is Spot, and on behalf of my employer, The Benefactor, I have been charged with assembling a team of the best thieves, thrill seekers, and puzzle solvers on this side of the Atlantic. According to my informants, that would include you.
The Details
Anatomy of a robbery
I’m sure by now you’ve seen the headlines regarding the recent attempted robbery of the Emerald Diadem, the famed artifact discovered by Victor Zarkhoff nearly thirty years ago. You’ve seen how the thieves almost got away, only to be caught at the last minute, and how Zarkhoff is now building his own private security vault, calling it, “The most secure storage location the world has ever seen!”
What you haven’t seen is how the robbery was never meant to succeed, but rather to entice Zarkhoff to take the Diadem into his own protection, which is precisely what he has done.
The Ask
Where you come in
With your assistance–should you accept–we are going to steal this diadem, but first we need the schematics for the vault. If you succeed, we will then disclose the plan for breaking into the vault, but we cannot move forward without the schematics. Where the previous job was engineered to fail, this one must succeed. Everything hinges on this.I’ll be seeing you soon, I’m sure.
Yours truly,
Spot
More Info About The Benefactor's Test
Never done an escape room before?
The Benefactor’s Test is a great first room. Normal mode gives you the full challenge and the real bragging rights. We do offer an Easy mode for a more guided experience with extra nudges when you need them — perfect for first-timers, families, and casual groups. Feeling confident? Either way, our host is with you the whole time.
Who its great for
- Date night – 60 minutes of teamwork beats dinner-and-a-movie for a story you’ll actually remember.
- Families – accessible puzzles make it a win with kids (must be accompanied by an adult).
- Friend groups – 2 to 6 is the sweet spot for a night out near Concord.
- First-timers – no experience needed; that’s what Easy mode is for.
- Teams & parties – planning a group? See our options for private events.
