At least you know what you're getting with breakout once again it was a very generic detective themed room which we managed to accidentally skip a few puzzles, what still a escaped with a good time
Typical detective game, very easy game (If there wasn't any resetting mistakes...)
Hotel Haunts
Having beaten a 3-star room, I was ready to up the antè with a group of coursemates by tackling Vacancy.
Story
Checked in and suddenly locked in, who knows what will happen at this gloomy motel if the sixty-minute timer reaches zero? 'You check in, but you never check out' is a perfectly succinct phrase that sets the tone of this room!
Puzzles
A good number and mixture to match the 4-Star difficulty rating. They seemed to remain at the same level of trickiness throughout. Busy hands and busy eyes were needed the whole time!
Mise-en-scène
I was a big fan of the ominous, dated hotel experience and the progression through it. From the tatty wallpaper to shabby furniture, a lot of thought and effort has been put into this one. I was ready to write a one-star TripAdvisor for the Crimson Lake Motel
Final Comments
Four is the best number for this one, as you can split up in groups of two when/if necessary.
#2
Fun enough, but the set is a bit tired and low budget. Typical of a Breakout room, I would suggest Forsaken or Forgotten Tomb instead if you’re heading to Breakout.
