Keep fresh & carry on

04/11/2016 | By Breakout Liverpool | Category News

As you may have noticed, October was a busy month for all 3 of our Breakout sites. We opened a new room in each city we are based in. We opened The Heist in Liverpool, Manchester opened Captured and Cardiff opened Disturbed. The Heist is the 7th room to come to Liverpool and throws you into a scenario in which you are a team of elite bank robbers in the midst of your most daring heist ever. You have reached the legendary vault of the Locke and Quay Treasury - rumoured to house the fabled private depository of one of…

The Summer holidays are just around the corner, and unless you're one of the lucky people who will be going on holiday, then it can be hard to find activities to fill those 6 weeks with the whole family at home.

An interview with the creator and owner of Breakout

24/04/2020 | By Breakout Liverpool | Category News

1. First things first, what inspired you to start Breakout? The reason I started Breakout is that I've always had an affinity for puzzle. My favourite TV program growing up was the Crystal Maze and I've always loved the puzzle element of computer games such as the dungeons in Zelda. From a personal side, prior to opening Breakout I worked in the night-time event industry for over 8 years and was getting pretty fed up of it so wanted a complete career change which Breakout has definitely been. Although creating new games can be quite a challenge, it's something that I really enjoy…

11/06/2020 | By Breakout Liverpool | Category News

Escape Room Online Review! Since the beginning of lockdown we’ve been looking for ways to entertain ourselves, and we’ve been missing the extremely addictive puzzles that you’d find in our escape rooms. So you can imagine how pleased we were to find out that Breakout has partnered with Escape Room Online to present to us a brand new online escape room to play with on up to 6 other devices! During lockdown we have been learning how to use various video chat platforms, sometimes to play quizzes or just to have a catch up - but now the stakes were…

What a bizarre year so far... The world as we know it seems to have completely 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 we 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…

A review of our first edition of Breakout Unboxed!

04/02/2021 | By Breakout Liverpool | Category News

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…
