Deckscape: Heist in Venice

Deckscape: Heist in Venice is a fun and engaging cooperative game that delivers a light escape room experience. I’ve tried a few escape room games myself, both physical and in the form of board games, and Deckscape is definitely on the simpler side. It’s great for those looking for a quick and easy-to-learn game that can be enjoyed in about an hour. The puzzles are a mix of simple and devious, but the overall experience is quite straightforward.

One thing I particularly appreciated is that there’s no component destruction. The game is entirely based on cards, and you can hand it over to a friend after you’re done. The fact that it’s reusable is definitely a big plus! The storyline in Heist in Venice is quite intriguing, and I liked how the variable player powers added a nice twist. It’s not the most complex or challenging game out there, but it’s a solid choice for those looking for a fun and thematic escape room experience.

One thing to keep in mind is that the game’s difficulty level might not be suitable for experienced escape room players. If you’re used to more complex and demanding puzzles, you might find Deckscape to be a bit too straightforward. However, if you’re looking for a fun, light, and thematic game that can be enjoyed with friends or family, I definitely recommend giving Heist in Venice a try.
