The game is fairly small but the puzzles are good - Sometimes alittle ambiguous!

Good theming but not much on the puzzle front. The clue system was pretty cool for Breakout, but I am glad we only went as a 2 as the room was a little snug.

A fun room, one of the better ones at Breakout Chester. The aesthetic was good, although a little plastic-y.

Quite a padlock-heavy room which sometimes doesn’t bother us, and a couple of the puzzles were either frustrating or not keeping with the theme, but we still had a good time. We have completed a couple of similarly themed rooms which were better so pretty average here.

Egyptian tombs are always fun, theming on this one is very much on point, in fact I think they spent all of the budget on the set design as the puzzles felt a bit like an afterthought.  Relatively linear, I don't think its suitable for a large groups due to the size and there's a couple of puzzles that only require two people whilst the rest might be standing around.  Apparently this is their latest room and its not bad, but there's better rooms at this location.
