📖 THE STORY

After many years, the infamous plane hijacking case involving D.B. Cooper has gone cold. The FBI has one final chance to find the lost money, an apartment they believe belongs to Cooper. Sending in their best detectives, you and your group are tasked to investigate the apartment and see if you can find the stolen money.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

The room was a combination of tech and non-tech, which worked with some clever props and puzzles.
The set design had the right amount of detail. There was not too much to distract us with red herrings but enough that we felt immersed.
For any fans of D.B Cooper and the story behind him, there are a lot of easter eggs hidden in the room and puzzles.
Though all the puzzles were solid, there was one puzzle that stood out to us with a great eureka moment and was quite satisfying when solved.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

This was a solid room overall with no major misses

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

"DB Cooper" was a well-designed room. The owners are very passionate about escape rooms and you can tell through the conversation with them and the little details in the room. The puzzles left us all satisfied as we solved them without any of them feeling like they overstayed their welcome. The room design had the right amount of immersion as well. This would be a great room for beginners and anyone who is a fan of the D.B. Cooper case. We played with 3 people and felt there could be room for a few more. Can you discover the “high”-ding spot of the money or will it turn out it was in “plane” sight all along?
