Our host really set the scene on the walk up to the room. Great theming, though not many padlocks, which I don't think I personally am a fan of, but others are. It did make sense in a magic room though. Clue system was quite nice!

Our game started with Beth giving us our intro and having a good chat about rooms we’ve done and loved before she set the scene well and got us into our room.
A brilliantly themed room that I’ve come to expect from Breakout Chester, they really seem to be the best in the Breakout franchises.
As others have said, a rare case of a room without padlocks and blimey we found it difficult because of this. All the puzzles made perfect sense and there were some really clever ones in there, but we started slow, made some silly mistakes and basically fell apart from there!
Beth was nice and cryptic with her clues, just giving us a nudge in the right direction.
We did make it out with an ok amount of time on the clock but this is the first room in ages where I’ve actually thought we might not make it out!
Overall a fun room that kept us on our toes until the door finally opened.
This game
brilliantly uses technology to give a realistic magic feeling experience. All
the action is set in one room, but clever use of lighting and sound give
distinct transitions between phases of the game.
