📖 THE STORY

Relive the action from Netflix’s hit show "Casa de Papel (Money Heist)" by taking on the role as the Professor’s mask-wearing elite thieves. Disable the bank’s security systems, break into the vault and grab the cash, and secure an alternative route to escape before the police arrive.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• The customer service in Jeddah was outstanding. We were well attended by the receptionist, manager, game master and numerous other staff who were all very attentive and incredibly genuine.

• The room itself is built to a high standard that incorporates a large footprint, making it. suitable for larger groups to freely move around.

• The use of props to enhance the immersion is very streamlined, but the props incorporated are effective and help push to the theme.

• Whilst I would have personally liked to have seen a couple more riddles in the control room, the riddles we encountered fit the story and were logical.

• The level of difficulty and the production value make this a good beginner/intermediate room.

• We enjoyed the surprise route we had to take to escape the bank.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• There is one (math) riddle that is almost impossible to solve without help from the Game master; we were informed only two groups have solved it, to date. I hope that they change this in some way, even a simple pen and paper would help.

• The bank hall takes up a large amount of floor space and is underutilized; another puzzle would make the space feel more appreciated.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

"La Mision del Profesor" presents an immersive experience that, whilst based on the

Netflix show, doesn’t incorporate any of its identity. Fans may therefore be a little

disappointed if they expected to find props or character references inside, but for those who are neutral, they will enjoy it for what it is, a good bank heist room.

ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO

• There is limited free parking directly in front of the door.

• There is a very light use of a smoke machine and lasers at the beginning but nothing after that.

• There is a large lobby with lockers, couches, and tables

• All the rooms are above the ground floor. There is an elevator if needed.

• This is not a wheelchair friendly game due to one occasion of having to crawl.

• We were offered free small bottled water.

• There is a Tim Hortons store directly next door.
