Týnda Lestin [Steampunk Train]

We’ve done well over 100 escape rooms, mostly in the United States, so we were excited to try one while visiting Iceland. Overall, it was okay — probably around a 6/10 for us. The room was somewhat linear, but some of the clues felt a little jumbled and didn’t always flow in a clear step-by-step way, which threw us off a bit compared to what we’re used to. It wasn’t a bad room by any means, just not one that really stood out for us. Still glad we got to experience an escape room internationally and see how it compared! It’s also great that they’re accommodating for the room to be in English.

Their hardest room was very well decorated puzzles were interesting. We appreciated that it wasn’t impossible but if you have done a lot of games definitely makes it easier. Staff are so nice

6.8/10 Steampunk Train I feel is the weakest experience at Breakout Reykjavík. This room is tricky. With some puzzles being more “gotcha” moments rather than mind bending brain busters. With that being said, I’ve played worse so it’s still better than most rooms out there. If you want a room that’s more of a challenge, I recommend Steampunk Train by Breakout Reykjavík. Do be warned, this room will have you slapping your forehead in “UGH” moments more times than you would like.

We had a good time playing this game, even though jet lag was not in our favor. The GM was very nice with hints, especially for one part where we didn’t have the angle right. I liked the set dressing and the general steampunk ambience of the room.

This was a fun mix of immersive puzzle and mechanical props. They opened only a few months ago and still had everything together. Their clue mechanics were great too.
