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…

You must be wondering what actually goes on here at Breakout and why we lock people in a room for an hour? Well because its fun of course! You have 60 mintues to escape a locked room by solving clues and puzzles. We currently have 6 completley different themed rooms each with a difficulty rating out of 5.  When you come down to us we will give you a short health and safety brief which is mainly common sense of don't put fingers in plug sockets, climb on furntiture etc.  We then tell you the good part, your story line…

As you can probably imagine, our Game Operators see a lot of weird and wonderful things happen when running games for our lovely customers (some stories a lot weirder than others!). This blog will feature stories across our Breakout Cardiff, Breakout Liverpool, Breakout Manchester and Breakout Chestersites, and will provide you with some insider information as to what really goes on in our rooms behind closed doors. We will start with the most 2017 that happened to us: “The year of Facebook Live” story. As Game Operator Shannon was congratulating her group on escaping, one of the customers pulled out her iPhone and went live…

Amongst the Orange is the New Black cast, Lucifer stars and The Walking Dead crew, if you're lucky enough, you might spot our very own Breakout staff at this week's MCM London Comic Con! Congregating from Cardiff, Liverpool and Manchester, our Breakout managers from these sites will be manning our very own stall at the Comic Con event. Following our subsequent success at Birmingham Comic Con, we will be utilising three 'pop-up' games, all of which will last 30 minutes (differing slightly from our standard 1-hour escape room games). A brief overview of the games can be displayed below: Vigilante Story: Your friend has been acting…

What a bizarre year so far... The world as we know it seems completed changed after coming to a standstill for months. Nobody could have seen this coming, but as restrictions are lifted and we can finally begin to experience something like normality again, it’s a chance to do all the things you missed most.Believe it or not, the perfect antidote for months of lockdown life could be…escape rooms!  It might seem strange, to voluntarily lock yourself in a room just as we’re finally allowed to leave our homes, but escape rooms are actually perfect for slowly getting back into…

With the next edition of Breakout Unboxed about to launch, we thought we’d share with you a review of our first game, written by one of our Game Operators - Tom from Liverpool!  - When I first opened our Unboxed game ‘Locked up in Lapland’, I had absolutely no idea what to expect. Would it capture the excitement of a real life escape game? Would the puzzles be too hard? Would it definitely get me in the Christmas spirit?! I had many questions that I’m sure anyone who’s considering playing the game will have too, so here I will review…
