The Kidnapping

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
