The classified room sees players sitting their final entrance exam to become a secret agent. You must escape from the room to pass the exam. This is Breakout's most explosive and technologically advanced room yet! Think James Bond, Jack Bauer and Lara Croft. Classified is the prequel to Sabotage.

This is NOT Breakout's most explosive and technologically advanced room, as they used to advertise it. The room is probably the most boring one in the lower floor of Breakout Liverpool.

A very solid escape room that I'd recommend to players with some experience, particularly those who aren't too worried about how immersive their challenges are.
