Just me and the smarter half this time. He enjoyed it more than me. Clearly passion in this one, but things felt a little convoluted for me.  

Great game, crafted well. Glad I took brain box with me as some of the puzzles went over my head haha Bob was a fab host!

Great how they can rework the space, just wasn’t feeling this one as much as Curiosity Shoppe. A lot of the puzzles felt like they were just there to waste time. Will still go back for fortunes though.

Just me and hubby for this one, as it wasn’t suitable for kids and we were out and about for the day.

Game ok itself, nothing groundbreaking but everything flowed well and made sense. The actor coming into the room was fun and definitely gave some good scares, but the reason I am rating this so low was because of the venue and the host. 

The host was uninterested throughout the briefing, barely looked at us or gave us the time of day, and it felt like we had inconvenienced him by booking. 

As there was a rage room in that centre there was  piles of broken rubbish everywhere as we were shown out of the game, in an area that public should not be. The game itself was really run down and extremely dirty, and the overwhelming smell of damp and mould was unbearable in the game. If you value your lungs, avoid. Although I hear one of their other centres has the game, so maybe try it somewhere else.

Some good theming as usual from escapism, but definitely aimed at the families. Pretty much an open game with lots for the kids to get on with, but the adults in our group with a few games under our belt were a little bored. Maybe a little too much signposting, which took the fun out of a lot of the game.

Found this place by complete accident on our way back past costco! A little unassuming on the outside as its in an industrial estate in Liverpool, but don't be put off! 

Our host was delightful, and clearly had a passion for the job! The game itself was fantastic, with some fun suprises along the way! The whole family really enjoyed it, although us adults were knackered by the time we had finished! 

There was one puzzle however that was quite tactical, which I did get a little frustrated at, but hubby cracked it no issue.

We have booked in for Remy's Room next week and can't wait!

First game at Breakout and it won't be the last! We had a lovely host who explained the game and set the story well.  Quite an open game so we were able to spilt up and tackle this one! The spy theme was done well, and my lads loved this!

Played this one a week after playing our first game (Legacy). Can't say I enjoyed this one as much as Legacy, but the kids seemed to like it more. There were some creative puzzles in it, and the odd jumpscare (don't think it was supposed to scare me but it did!)  Great hosting once again!

Our very first escape room, with myself my husband and our two kids (both teens). The hosts were great and explained everything really well.  There were some tricky puzzles in there, and it did take us a while to get started, but the theming was really good. 

I think we had a few extra minutes from our host though! She must have felt sorry for us haha
