Liverpool is a city with rich heritage and history, and since its big revamp due to the capital of culture title in 2008, it is now currently a thriving city filled with all types of new businesses popping up around the centre and surrounding areas.

With this information, we have been able to create this post which outlines the perfect day and night in Liverpool. Every day…

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.

What a bizarre year so far... The world as we know it seems to have completely changed after coming to a standstill for months.

As part of our reopening after Lockdown we have implemented so many new changes, cleaning thoroughly is like second nature to us now but the real excitement hit when we heard that one of our Manchester site’s most popular games, Reclassified, would be moving to Liverpool!

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…
