Is this the best job in the world?
We've been there, waking up Monday morning and dreading having to go to work, often wondering what the best job in the world is... Actually, no, we haven't. We know what the best job in the world is! And we bet you want to know too.
Well, here at Breakout we have the best job in the world!
Each day we wake up smiling. Why? Well, because every day we have friends, families, couples, work colleagues and even first dates come through our doors. Once inside the lobby and sat down they can't help but play with the various puzzles or attempt a Rubik's Cube that we have on our table. All while wondering what exactly is beyond the mysterious doors that branch off in different directions from the lobby.
After a brief health and safety followed by the unique introduction to the room, we send them in with a story playing in their head and then lock the door. For the next hour, their entertainment is our entertainment!
From our very comfy chairs we watch their progress via CCTV and in Madchester we're even able to hear them, as they run, stumble and even fumble their way through the room's many puzzles and locks. All this while shouting, pointing and out-right accusing each other for their various mishaps and troubles. When the clock is ticking down and the tension continues to build, everyone is to blame. It's pain and gain.
We have the atmosphere, the fun and the amazing people that are always smiling - and that is just those locked in our rooms. The best part of our jobs are those we meet, particularly after the adrenaline has been pumping and they've managed to escape the room with only seconds remaining after solving a murder, stopping a deadly virus or even preventing a missile from launching. What's a bit of fun without a bit of destruction, hey?
Our games are addictive, our staff are friendly and those that play can't get enough and after their hearts stop racing and their mind's are able to relax, they quickly book another game with us. They break out only to be put back in again, that's how great this job really is.
