This was definitely a fun room and nice to have more than one challenge to meet to actually escape. That said, I think it's an older room and a couple of the puzzles possibly felt slightly "left behind" in the escape room world BUT that isn't to say don't play it, because we still had fun!!

great hosting
Relatively straight forward room with you infiltrating a police station (as opposed to breaking out of one!) and trying to find proof of treason. Theming is relatively on point with the usual mix of puzzles, couple with a couple of physical ones where communication is essential to success. This is good fun executed competently, nothing here will surprise you but neither will it infuriate you.
Each game at Exciting Escapes is set in, and themed for, a specific decade, and Breaking The Law is their 70s game. While that's an era sometimes remembered for cheerless economic depression, I found this game to be joyously fun and my personal favourite of the three at the venue.
The aim of the game is to find a briefcase of evidence locked in the office of a corrupt detective. Some aspects of the game I'll have to skirt around for spoiler reasons, but a central challenge described in the pre-...
Probably the best of the three games at Exciting Escapes. Solid puzzles with a strong physical element, a real sense of progress during the game and a thrilling finale added up to a highly enjoyable experience.
