Stuff about, you know, puzzles. Banks, Heists, and Puzzles. Escape from the Bank. Is the newest real life escape game. Im kind of excited about this. It may be a coincidence, but at the end of Escape from the Mysterious Room. They asked for feedback and suggestions for new escape games and I suggested escaping from a bank vault. Maybe they took my suggestion or got it from somebody else. Either way, it sounds cool. I suggested escaping from a bank vault requires an explanation thats a little more in-depth.
