Wild West

Fun room even if it is sparsely populated. This seems like a constant across the Breakout rooms we've done (all of two) but the puzzles are up against the wall and there's all this open space in the middle of the room to presumably accommodate large groups. For a group of two it can feel like you're standing in a saloon that is waiting for its furniture to be delivered.

We saddled up for the Wild West room, and it sure didn’t disappoint! The set design was mighty impressive and pulled us right into the frontier. The puzzles and audio fit the theme perfectly, and that split start at the beginning was a hoot. A nice mix of locks and tech kept things interesting, and our Gamemaster Val was as warm and helpful as a campfire on a cold night.

This was our second Breakout experience and it was good fun, possibly a bit on the easy side for 4 seasoned players. The puzzles were a good mix of mechanical and locks. There were some fun audio cues throughout, and the beginning was especially creative.

This was such a fun escape room!! I felt like I was actually in the wild Wild West! I love breakout games with the immersive and great atmosphere of each room! I will say it is a little expensive now on the weekends with just two people.

Overall, this is a solid room from Breakout. The biggest reason that I didn’t love this room is that our game master, Chris, was not friendly. He even came in the room and made fun of us for little mistakes we made (even though we escaped). He also got mad when I asked if we could take a picture in the room (which I had done in several other rooms at Breakout Games Greensboro). I always keep those pictures private. They are just for the memories. He really just ruined the experience for my group.

I was surprised since I usually have a ho-hum experience with Breakout, but this was quite good. A solid Western theme. Good flow. An equal mix of tech and manual locks. Puzzles were generally intuitive. They went a bit further than usual with the immersion.

I've played every Breakout Room they've ever had. So when I found out a location nearby where I was traveling had a new room, I was excited to try it, especially since it promised some immersive tech-based puzzles. "Wild West" did not disappoint. It was a super fun theme with puzzles that made sense and contributed to the narrative. As a new room, there were some technical hiccups, but they were addressed quickly and the "awe" factor from what worked (particularly the "win" at the end) more than made up for it and validates game makes decisions to continue to incorporate these types of elements. Of note, since it wasn't included on the website description, one member of your party, is separated and blindfolded (briefly) and handcuffed (with a decent range of motion) for a period of time at the beginning of the game. It completely with the plot of the game, but it's good to know going in. We were a team of two and this room was challenging enough that we *just* made it it and fun enough that our debrief of favorite parts is still ongoing. Which, for me, is a truly successful escape experience.
