Breakout of Your Routine

A mysterious looking place…

When date night with my better half rolled around, we were both in the mood for something adventurous.  We had seen the mysterious Breakout corner in Avenue K, and wanted to see what it was all about.  Breakout (advertised as a “Real Escape Game'”) has 5 games to choose from.  Since we were beginners we opted for the Infinity room, which was rated a 3 out of 5 for difficulty.  I don’t want to give too much away as the mystery is a big part of the fun, so I will just say that for this exercise your team will be separated, but you still have to find ways to work together.  If you don’t work together you will fail miserably. (We may have failed miserably but at least we had a great time doing so!)

There were several points where both of us became stuck on task.  Fortunately the staff at Breakout was very kind and helpful, so eventually we did make our way out.  It was a lot of fun and really challenged us, so we signed up to do it again.

 For round two  we brought along good friends who also have an adventurous spirit.  We decided to try Project Fallout which was rated as the least difficult game.  This time we were scientists (complete with new names and lab coats) who had to breakout of captivity.  With our team working together I am happy to report that we did escape and each of us earned a pin (which we are perhaps overly proud of).

This picture will make sense once you start a game.

Both times we went we had a great experience.  Working with your partner or good friend is very entertaining!  I would definitely recommend Breakout to anyone looking for something creative and fun to do.  *Be sure to book online to get the time slot you want (each game takes about 45 minutes).

Happy Gaming!

We escaped : )
