Soon after moving to Salford, I was excited to visit Breakout for the very first time- the first of many!
Story
Having been framed for the murder of a young detective, there's one hour on the clock to search his office, find out who the real killer is and get exonerated.
Puzzles
The Cluedo-style story came with a series of relevant brainteasers. A big focus on code-breaking. We definitely over-thought some of them!
Mise-en-scène
A quaint room with props and sections you'd certainly expect to see in a detective's office.
Final Comments
A run-of-the-mill room; very good for beginners. Due to its low difficulty level, I'd recommend tackling this one as a duo.
