This is one of my favorite games at Breakout, after Clue. I really loved the theme and the set, although simple, fit with it. Many of the puzzles fit with the theme and made sense to the story. This was a fairly fast room for our group of 5 enthusiasts, but I think this would be a really fun room for kids. I didn’t feel like any of the puzzles were too difficult, although there were a couple that our team had to get help on. If you’re headed to Breakout for a game, my recommendations would be Clue, Wild West, and Monopoly.

Easy
Granted, this has only been open a couple weeks, but we set the record with 5 enthusiasts and there were one or two things we got stumped over and spun our wheels for a few minutes until we asked for a clue.

Mix of sensors and padlocks.
Ideal number of players
4
We did a group of 5 and that was a bit too many. You start out in two rooms and one of the rooms is fairly small. There were a few consecutive puzzles but a lot of the room is linear so there’s not much for a large group to do

I think kids would absolutely adore this game!
Was anything broken?
Yes
I think someone on our team broke one of the pieces, but the GM was great about it. We also had a few tech items that were a bit glitchy, which was kind of disappointing since the game just opened.
