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.
A Western themed game that doesn't involve breaking out of jail. Theming is on point (I approve of the playlist of western music but possible a little too loud..) Game is looking a little tired (I mistook a crease on a label as an arrow when it wasn't). Shouldn't present too many issues if you've got a few rooms under your belt.
Played all of the Breakout's "Wanted" Games. Not the best of the centres, but not the worst either. Great theming, good puzzles that all fit the theme. Hosting great for our game.
After playing liverpool's we play chester's version and enjoyed chester's version more. There are quite a few different puzzles and the games seem to flow better here.

This was our first cowboy themed room and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
The start of the game was slightly ruined by the fact that the door to the second room of the game had been accidentally left open, which meant our host had to come in and close it. This happened very early in the game and so didn't completely ruin the immersion, accidents happen!
We were offered two different styles of game, Cowboys or Indians, and we chose Cowboys. There were some puzzles that we didn't have to complete as they were for the other game. The main game was the same however.
The scenery and setting is strong with lots to look at and you could believe you are standing in a Western saloon. We enjoyed our time and happily worked our way through the puzzles without too much difficulty.
