You are supernatural myth busters and you've decided to investigate a series of disappearances that have been happening at night.
Upon journeying to the location, you encounter a lone figure in the darkness, and before you know it, you're waking up in the depths of a Vampires lair.
Can you make it out and stake the ancient vampire before dusk arrives and you become their next meal?

Vamping It Up
Breakout has added a vampiric escapade to its roster. Strangely, I got a bit of a discount by buying a voucher from Jacamo, for which I used a 15% off code.
Story
Escape Nosferatu’s dwellings before he comes back and eats you in front of his friends.
Puzzles
Surprisingly difficult given the three-star rating; sometimes we needed more than one hint per puzzle. They weren’t overly captivating.
Mise-en-scene
The small, cave-like space did indeed imitate a dank, dark, vampire’s lair…so it would have been helpful if we were shown how the lanterns worked before starting.
Final Comments
We got out with seconds to spare, although I can’t help but think the Game Operator paused our clock once or twice. Take a team of three or four to this one.
It's ok. Not a great deal to do and not a very big space, but you generally know what you're getting beforehand with Breakout.
Not a bad little game. Great use of space, fans of Breakouts other rooms with get through ok as there are similar puzzles, but we had good fun playing non the less.
