The KidnappingBreakout Games - LouisvilleEscape roomIRLJust joined this app. This experience happened a little over a year ago, so the staff/story may have changed. Didn’t even make it 75% of the way through this room, so I was frustrated with my experience on this one. 1) Our group may have been too large for the room. That could totally be on us. I wouldn’t recommend more than 4/5 people for this, there’s not a ton of room. 2) The first major hurdle took us over 15 minutes to get through, which put a ton of pressure on the rest of the experience. 3) As time was winding down, we asked the GM for help. I don’t know if she was busy or not, but she told us to give her a minute, when we definitely didn’t have a minute to give. Then she had to catch up on where we were at, which again was unpleasant when we were almost out of time. Feels like we missed about lot of the fun of this room due to miscues. The room might be okay, but the experience left a bad taste in my mouth.
Submarine SurvivalBreakout Games - LouisvilleEscape roomIRLJust joined this app, so this is a review from an experience from over a year ago. The staff/room may have changed. The room has some really neat technology, but we never really enjoyed it because we finished the game with more than 17 minutes remaining. Any time we would be stuck (“stuck”), the GM would literally give us the answer, so we blazed through the room. I wouldn’t recommend doing this room with any sort of large group, because everything was so linear that there weren’t very many ways for people to spread out and individually contribute. Maybe could do this with three people max and have it be okay.
