Mystery Mansion

A pretty standard escape room with mostly number and letter locks. Has a lot of escape room tropes (chess board with letters on it, secret door in a location that pretty much always has a secret door) but also does have some interesting puzzles and a couple of surprising interactions. There are several unclued anagrams which is an automatic point deduction in my book but honestly they are not hard to figure out from the given letters. I think this is one of Breakout’s oldest games, and it kind of shows, but we still had fun. Recommended if you are going there anyway and want an extra room, but I would not go just to play this game.

Overall a great time, like always at breakout. Puzzles are fun and unique. The only downside is the lack of immersive or impressive buildout (could have done more with a haunted mansion sort of theme) and too much help from the game master without asking for it.

This was the first escape room I ever played back in 2018. I played with a group of 6 and we were all pretty new to the idea of escape rooms so it ended in some tense frustration with little to no help from the Game Master.
