Runaway Train

This may be my favorite room at Breakout Games. Mostly high tech and fantastic decor. You feel like you are inside a train and it’s up to your team to stop the runaway train. Decently challenging but not impossible. And just when you think you’re done, you not quite done yet. Highly recommend this.

The room atmosphere was solid but not enough detail to praise. The puzzles tried to be "in theme" but didn't feel very immersive. Solve was linear, with us doing one puzzle to unlock a lock which gave us the next puzzle. It tried to have a story/characters, but didn't give you enough to get invested. Also, multiple simple math puzzles, which isn't interesting to solve when everyone can just use their phone calculator. I would recommend this room for newbies, but skip if you are practiced escapers.

Good atmosphere, although the puzzles felt more linear, and less challenging. A couple of the puzzles required some concentrating on math, so make sure you're prepared for that! We did enjoy the train theme, and some of the computer screens added something to the experience. Wish there were some more physical puzzles though.
