Played this room as a group of 3, for a three star rated room itβs definitely one of the harder ones. Plenty of puzzles to solve the room decorations matched the theme perfectly
Great introduction game - Easy for experienced players.
We escaped the Cursed Carnival at Breakout Liverpool back in 2016 with Team Raging Clue. We picked this room as it was the easiest one according to the stats, so we can slowly and surely build up to the most difficult rooms. The layout of the room itself wasnβt that bad, with new surprises at each corner and a nice carnival soundtrack. We had a good fair amount of laughs throughout our 44 minutes of game but I regret few things: β the lights being maybe too bright indulging a bit the atmosphere of what could have been a really creepy carnival room; β some puzzles were a bit far-fetched (and even after sleeping on it, we still havenβt understand their logic). β and finally, the ending was a bit of a let down: the door opened by itself before we finished completing the last puzzleβ¦ ! We first thought someone opened it by mistake as we were still trying to sort out our last puzzle!
Played this with a newbie and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and puzzles. Kept us on our toes throughout and our own stupid mistakes made us take longer.

Rated as the easiest of Breakout Liverpool's games, we added Cursed Carnival to our schedule partly for the theme and partly just because it was available at a convenient slot time. With most of Breakout's games being on the easy side for experienced players, I was expecting Carnival to be brief and insubstantial, but was pleased to discover that it's actually one of their better games, and not noticeably shorter.

We have sinister dreams about a doll possessed by a little girl that wants us to help free her from a carnival. Can we save her?
A fun and lower difficulty room that is great for beginners and surprisingly very family-friendly, despite its supposedly creepy theme.
