Breakout Manchester

We did this escape room as a surprise for my best friends bday! She was very surprised and we were surprised at how many room the company has! For The Haunting itself, i had looked online and had seen that this room was very similar to their Frankenstein room, which i assumed was what it used to be. The room was very spacious which was very nice, as it was a group of 4 it was very easy for all of us to get around and take part in all of the puzzles. It was a very fun, tricky room with some of the puzzles involving alot of thought when solving them - which is of course what we wanted! 

Some of the puzzles were really interactive which was very nice! There was one puzzle which took the majority of the time in the room (Which is most likely why it's rated a difficult room) But it made sense!

As we completed the room, it did feel slightly unsatisfying as it finished quickly! But, we escaped which is all that mattered. Afterwards we were discussing the theme of the room and we don't think the storyline fit into the theme of the room. Which was about your team being ghost hunters - but didn't exactly involve much 'ghost hunting' aspects? Maybe more of a creepy theme but not ghost hunting. 

You also could tell that many of the props had been reused from the past room, which isn't a bad thing! But you could tell that the puzzles before may have been used and not updated.

All in all though - very fun and we will be visiting to complete the rest of the rooms!

Thank you Breakout! 

An awesomely themed room with loads to do! Quite padlock heavy which may be to some peoples tastes or not. We needed more clues than normal for a successful escape!

A fun christmas room that was quite labour intensive- lots of puzzles to keep up busy!

Good one for trying to set a record - Called Chaotic Christmas currently - good fun

This had so much potential, with some great custom props, but the way it has been put together felt so messy - flow, signposting etc. Never really felt confident in anything we were doing
