The Kidnapping

I was honestly a little disappointed. The room itself was pretty small and it turned out to just be one room, which made the whole experience feel really short and a bit boring compared to other escape rooms I have done. Some of the puzzles also did not really make much sense, so instead of feeling clever when you solved something it sometimes just felt confusing or had to ask for a clue. Game master was also very slow at responding to the clue requests and would typically need to yell multiple times. Clues were also just a person talking to you rather than something immersive or a small riddle/nudge. One of the parts that was supposed to be more intense involved handcuffs, but they were extremely easy to get out of since the key was right next to you, which made that whole element feel kind of pointless. A few things in the room also seemed broken or not working quite right, which took away from the immersion. The staff was friendly, but overall the room just felt a bit underwhelming and could definitely use some updates and better puzzle design.

it was really fun! the concept is cool and a little spooky! i liked the beginning and i think all the puzzles made sense :)

The game master Hayden was great, the room however was not. You start off handcuffed and blindfolded and that seems irrelevant as you take the blindfold off pretty much right away and the handcuffs come off first. There were a lot of audio issues as well I don't love how the clues were given over the speaker as opposed to on a TV. The puzzles were meh.

Really fun room- cool and tricky puzzles and nice staff.

I really was not a fan of this room. It has strong "original escape room" energy in a way that just wasn't fun or exciting to play. Part of me wants to respect it for preserving the early days of escape rooms but... we have evolved!!! This room is in dire need of updates, especially if Breakout wants to charge full price for tickets. I truly felt like I could have made this room myself with a budget of about 200 dollars. It's all in one single bare bones room and the entire game is essentially a bunch of number locks. That's just not interesting to me anymore when it comes to escape room design! It was fun and immersive to start the room handcuffed and blindfolded but that's really the only thing this room has going for it. Without spoiling the specifics, there was one aspect of the room that made it challenging and fun for my group. However we realized about halfway through that we had missed a clue early on and we were essentially just unnecessarily playing the game in challenge mode. Knowing that about this room just makes me realize how much worse the gameplay is than we even initially realized. I really cannot recommend this one.

Challenging room with only three. Overall good time.

One room experience. Not great for me but could be fun for others.

One room, not much to do, boring
