Stepped inside the world of Clue!! So much fun! Highly recommend bringing a larger group - you’ll need it

The room is quite large for 2 people, and some puzzles are hard to split between just 2, however, my husband and I were able to do it and complete it! We had trouble with a light puzzle that didn’t want to properly distinguish certain colors, a problem with some tech, and a problem with a water activated puzzle - otherwise, everything ran smoothly. Our GM was very kind and helped nudge us in the proper direction without full on telling us what to do/what we missed.
The gameplay was enjoyable, following the classic “Clue” board game style with an in-person twist.
The set was fun with lots of different rooms. It wasn’t over the top, just basic decoration that didn’t distract from the actual clues.
GM was very nice.
No
The “Clue” aspect was very unique and fun, however, the gameplay is your classic “who-done-it” mystery murder plot line. You’re playing for the characters, weapons, and rooms you know and love.

This room was okay - a bit frustrating at times but still fun
Parts did not flow well. Some of the puzzles didn’t automatically register
Great atmosphere
Excellent!

Step into the board game and figure out a murder. Wholesome fun - very enjoyable and clever Would be a great introduction to Escape Rooms for younger players, or anyone else. The puzzles aren’t mind-bendingly complex, but it’s still an enjoyable and clever room.
You are in the entry hall room in a game of CLUE and have to eliminate suspects, means of murder and rooms where the murder takes place. So, that’s not at all novel, but being physically in the space makes it a ton of fun. And all the branded tie-in works well.
From negotiating the way to actual rooms from the game, to incorporating the game pieces into the function and design of the space, they did a terrific job.
GM was sweet and really helped us enjoy the room. There are a few flaws in clueing which she had to guide us through.
Yes
Easy
The most difficult aspect is a few solutions aren’t intuitively arrived at and one clue is so vague that, apparently, almost everyone misses it. But the rest was fun, linear, and clearly clued.

It is very linear. With more than two or three people, most of the group would have nothing to do most of the time
Not scary

The building is easy to drive right by and miss that there’s a Breakout sign on it. Even as we were pulling around back to park, my wife kept insisting we were at the wrong place because so many signs were saying the building was something other than an Escape Room.
Easy
Lots of free parking behind the building, which is also where you enter from.

Breakout has licensed the Hasbro game Clue, and if you have ever played the board game you will find this to be a sufficiently faithful adaptation to the room escape format. Mr. Boddy has gotten wind that one of his guests intends to kill him and has hired you to infiltrate his dinner party (behind the scenes) and figure out which suspect plans to kill him, in what room, and with which weapon. Naturally the manor is filled with puzzles and obstacles, and you also have to ensure that the party itself is not disrupted by doing tasks for the butler such as sending the right meals from the kitchen to the dining room. You never interact with any live actors, but there are interactive bits that play out via audio and video. Overall we found the game to be quite enjoyable, albeit on the easy side. Recommended.
Pretty easy overall, but the change of format did let them work in a couple of puzzle types and whole-team challenges that would not necessarily make sense in a “traditional” escape room. Several of these are presented in a genuinely amusing fashion. We had fun.
It seemed sufficiently Clue-esque to us!
Great GM support, as we did encounter a malfunction.
No
It is different in the sense of not really being an “escape” room, but you solve puzzles to open new spaces and solve more puzzles. Eventually you have enough information to “make an accusation” as in the board game, then you win (or lose) accordingly.
Mr. Boddy doesn’t want to be murdered, so you have an hour to investigate and prevent the crime before it happens by identifying the classic Clue trifecta of suspect, location, and weapon.
Easy
Fewer puzzles than a typical escape room, but still fun. The endgame involves doing exactly what you expect to do in a game of Clue: saying who, where, and what weapon.
High tech
Good mix of things that seem low tech but are really high tech and things that are just high tech. Everything makes sense in the context of the story.

The room has two parallel tracks that come together (no enforced separation of the teams, you can go back and forth) so two pairs of solvers would be able to make progress.
Not scary

It is literally about murder, although I guess if they are old enough to play Clue the board game then they are old enough to play Clue the escape room.
Yes
One somewhat elaborate prop was only partially working: the right thing went in, and the prop activated, but nothing came out. The GM was able to move us forward with minimal disruption.

There is one “dexterity” puzzle but it isn’t difficult.
Should be mostly accessible inside, but getting inside may be a bit tough as there is no working elevator and the game spaces are upstairs. There is a back door that might be accessible. One puzzle relies on color matching in a way that even our team members who are not colorblind had trouble telling a couple of the shades apart, but there did not seem to be any risk of “failing” due to retrying this, and we got it eventually.
Yes
Easy
Seems like there are parking lots in front and back of the building (we arrived via rideshare). The ground floor is a medical practice of some sort so you go upstairs / around the back to get to the lobby of the escape room.

The set and props for this room were fantastic. The puzzles were fun and interesting and fit the theme entirely. If you bring a big group, not everyone will see every puzzle.

This is honestly my Favorite Game in Breakout Games. It is the most technology forward of the ones that I have played with them. If you love the game Clue and escape games then this is must do. It is quite fine. We did it with 2 people but would be easier with at least 3. Not super hard, it is just FUN!
