Runaway Train

Pretty much par for the course for older Breakout rooms: not a lot of story, but a decent set, some nice effects, a mixed bag of puzzles (at least one of which must include annoying arithmetic), a good variety of puzzle types, not too difficult but not super easy, a friendly and helpful gamemaster, and at least one cool moment (really just one in this game, but it is cool). Recommended but go in with modest expectations.

Did this room after enjoying another one at Breakout earlier that week. I would recommend a group of at least 3 for this room. We did it as a team of two and boy were our brain cells not enough. Stan was a great guiding hand though and I just have a love for trains so I really enjoyed the setting. This one was fairly difficult, but I thought the puzzles flowed well.

The GM was the only reason we escaped! Was a difficult room.

Slightly disappointed by this room since all of the GMs that we talked to in this company recommended it as the best. We did this as a team of 2 and it was a little tough to follow the puzzle flow. There were a couple of sections of Easter egg hunting (looking for components) that probably weren’t necessary. I do give major props though for a code system they had. Very clever and I still think of other uses to this day! It was decent, though would recommend a team of 3-4 tackle this one

We played this game after many recs from the GMs that day (from our first room with them). It wasn’t all it was cracked up to be and certainly didn’t hold up to the standard of the first room we did and loved. I recommend 3-4 players (we were a team of 2). Towards the end there was a very interesting element/puzzle scheme that was the star of the show. That kind of made it worth it but looking forward to other rooms with this company because I do like the company!
