Mr Oswald’s Greatest Show

Very lame. GM knocked on the door in the middle of the game and came in to ask if we needed help solving puzzles. Clues were laid out but no obvious sign to follow. Their rooms are linear and puzzles are numbered so you have to follow the exact order. According to the GM, this is their most difficult room. We escaped in with half the time to spare, maybe doable for solo player with decent experience.

Overall good, nothing crazy in the experience, but fairly solid. Not super scary and no jump scares (states on the website). Gameplay was decent and set was pretty good but not too much to actually interact with other than the direct puzzles themselves. The two I've done at breakout so far are definitely not multilinear and as the other review mentioned, they have a style of telling you which puzzle in which order and that applies to the answers too, which we thought made it a little too easy, and then at times they don't label everything anyway, so I'm not sure if it's actually helpful or harmful. For the price definitely worth doing, and it is a fun room to do, but again not contending for the top tier of escape rooms. Puzzles weren't crazily difficult either, time does feel short but it's not too bad I think.

This was a decent game. Breakout is very specific with their game play where they direct you to which puzzle to work on first, but the 45 minute time constraint is definitely why their rooms are so tough. None of the puzzles themself are particularly difficult, there just really isn’t enough time to think through possibilities. The theming was definitely different and refreshing, but I would definitely love to see the room get some updating to the game play. Overall I do recommend this, as it was probably my favorite I’ve played in Kuala Lumpur.
