Think of yourselves as bounty hunters of the Wild West breaking in to a saloon in search of loot! The problem though... Someone's recognised you from your Wanted posters and the Sheriff is hot on your tail!
It's a race to escape, although this time the bigger reward you collect, the higher up the leaderboard you go! Make sure you're out by the time the Sheriff catches up to you (even if it means leaving some of your riches behind) or your loot means nothing and you'll end up spending the night in a cell as Breakout Manchester's Most Wanted!

Scour the Saloon!

This room is different in that breaking out is just part of the challenge- once you’ve got the exit code, you then need to collect as much loot as possible.

Story

Raid the saloon for all of its riches and break out before the Sheriff catches up to you.

Puzzles

Fairly rudimentary, but decent. For the money-collecting puzzles, you get no hints whatsoever: no spoilers, but you really need to have your think-of-everything, search-everything head on if you want to strike it rich!

Mise-en-scene

With saddles, a bar area, barrels and a piano, Most Wanted definitely gives a saloon feel. It looks a little tired, but that kind of compliments the space.

Final Comments

Our team racked up about 70 tokens: we’d still be there now finding the rest of them if we weren’t told at the end.

Fun because of the side mission that makes it last the full hour - good theming too.
