You arrive at an unknown location for a once in a lifetime opportunity; a conference held by the critically acclaimed, Dr. Andrews. His work is widely known throughout the research circles, but he has remained hidden in the shadows for years. What you don’t know, is that Dr. Andrews has gone mad, creating a string of tests that have gone disastrously wrong. You have one hour to escape his maze of tricks and games, before you become his final experiment...

Get
out of Dr Andrews’ trap before you become his final experiment. Basically,
Captured minus the blindfolds.
Puzzles
There
were okay; none really stood out. Although we escaped, I remember being
completely lost at one point and would probably rate it higher than two-stars
for difficulty. Unless I was just having an off-day!
Mise-en-scène
A (very) little,
dingy space with lots of animal skeletons. Although I think they’re cool, I see
them in pound shops all the time and so they kind of detract from the sense of
immersion. I’d describe it as basic.
Final
Comments
It’s
not scary at all, so I’d ignore the website’s disclaimer. Don’t take more than
two people…you won’t fit in!
It’s a small room that’s not too difficult and has a few interesting puzzles. It’s not strong on story or immersion and lacks any big moments or central puzzles. It doesn't really match the story described on the Breakout site.
