Feeding players at a restaurant in a scene set 3 days earlier, allowed the rest of the evening to flow as one piece, helped them get into character and gave them a chance to go through the plan one more time. The private back

room at Pellici’s had been established in pre-game as a regular meeting place for the team.

 

We dressed the main dining room table in 60s Italian style, dimmed the lights and played background music to help with the illusion that they were not in Buckland House and provided a vintage OHP and transparencies of the heist slides so Sandy could talk them through the plan...

​

A pasta dinner was a good simple option for the catering team as we needed to run to time, it was easy for the crew to eat the same meal, and meant everyone could go into the main game fed and ready for a long night!
