London, 1893.
A famous private detective, your friend and Police Academy colleague, John Monroe, was murdered in his office. He was last seen with you and in his will he left you his praxis and his clientele. That is why you were arrested for his murder.
During the trial it was concluded that a reconstruction of the crime has to be done in John's office. When the Police brought You from jail something unexpected had happened - the lead detective on your case will be 60 minutes late, which means this is the time you have to find out who is the real murder and save yourselves from going to jail.

What started it all...
First game we ever played. Wasn't great but played a lot worse.
Could only describe it as run of the mill.
Hello, Manchester!
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.
