Really impressed with the level of detail which had gone into this game. It included a couple of things I hadn't seen before, and the room was dressed very nicely and very much in line with the theme.

The third Breakin' game I played, Sherlock's Despair is a much more traditional style of room - period furniture and padlocked drawers, four digit codes and charts of symbols.
I'd describe it as a somewhat more intellectual style of escape room, by which I don't mean that it's harder - although it's rated as the hardest of their six, correctly I think - but that it has a greater focus on numbers, with more than one maths-y moment.
That said, skill-based puzzles seem to be something of a signat...
Sherlock’s Despair was my very first escape room with Breakin’ and it was also the escape room I used to introduce a whole new team to the genre! For this reason, it has a special place in my heart.
