With the growing threat of a radiation leak due to the increase in nuclear power, the government seek a solution to radiation poisoning within humans. Deep within a high security facility, a group of scientists work to develop a vaccine to ensure immunity, but to run tests they need subjects. You regain consciousness to find yourself quarantined within the facility. You don’t know who got you here or how you got here but you know you need to escape before everything gets incinerated, including you!

I didn’t like writing reviews like this. I’ve been wanting to play this game since talking to someone who had just played back in January 2020. My first two attempts failed as the room wasn’t working when we arrived at the venue, this time the room was working but I wish it hadn’t been,. Break Free took over the location from Clue HQ over a year ago and we’d played the former A-1-9 some time ago and I noted then how tired the game was.
The game starts with a split start (the GM told us that a previous game had failed to even get out of the cells!). They say this is a hard room and to get out does feature some maths puzzles and I would argue outside knowledge to properly solve what you need to, couple that with a calculator that doesn’t work and we were able to get out in just over 20 minutes.
Then into the main room and there was next to no hints where to go next. We made some progress from thorough searching but the sign posting was none existent. This room was incredibly tired, from the clearly no longer used boxes on the wall, to so many things. I can’t recommend anyone playing this game in any way, or playing any Break Free games as after my experience here and elsewhere they are running tired, broken games into the ground with little to no thought for the player experience.
