- Sarah T1 contributionAn amazing brain challenge with super friendly staff!My friends and I took part in the Warped room, and it was a brilliant experience! Not easy by any means but definitely do-able. Helped along in the odd tricky moment by the legend, Tom (who also drew a TARDIS on my final time card - thanks Tom!), it was an unforgetable experience that will be remembered for a long while. We will definitely be back, and I highly recommend to anyone who likes puzzles. Toilets are available on both floors too, which is always a bonus.Hi team, Thank you so much for leaving a lovely review! We're really glad you enjoyed Warped and found it to be a good level of challenge. We'll let Tom know you enjoyed your time, he'll be really happy to hear it!

Did this room with my partner, it was her first escape room but my 4th (including another heist themed room). The game master seemed really nice however it was obvious that they don’t watch you fully throughout the game like they do in other escape rooms - we only had about 2 clues within the hour despite us being stood around doing nothing for large periods of time talking about how we needed clues (enough time for us to discuss how we should’ve chosen the other escape room we were debating by another company). This room consisted of nothing but padlock after padlock, meaning you couldn’t split up and each do things. Overall, a very boring experience compared to other escape rooms that left us disappointed and frustrated. Also, there was one part of the game involving a briefcase in which we had the correct code but spent nearly 10 minutes trying to get it to open (we didn’t) with poor directions from the game master into how it worked - possibly due to all clues being typed out rather than spoken over a microphone. Since this was my partner’s first escape room (I usually love them) we decided to immediately book one for an hour later by a different company and had a much much better experience.

We tried the room 'vacancy' as a group of 5 and it was brilliant. It was an impulse booking for a group of 3 adults and 2 teenages and absolutely suited everyone. A really well designed room and very well thought out. Tom was hosting and he was brilliant, he hyped us up, seemed very enthusiastic and was all around good vibes which definitely added to the experience. He was the right level of helpful and only gave us a clue when we asked for it. Overall a brilliant that I'd 100% recommend.

We visited Breakout Liverpool on a Wednesday afternoon. We initially made a booking error online that was resolved for us, and then had to bring the game forward by a day and this was accommodated effortlessly over the phone.
This is a large venue, with many rooms and it is reasonably central to the main attractions in the city so walkable if you're spending a day in the city but there is also a large car park opposite and limited street parking.
We ended up playing the 'Warped' room. Tom was our host and he was great at introducing us to the room, and also leaving us to our own devices as much as possible, with a prompt only when we clearly overlooked something.
The puzzles in this room suited our team, though. They require logic and a bit of thinking, but nothing is tenuous or obscure - though there are just a few red herrings. We enjoyed very much - it's always great to escape and set a good time!

Hello! Thank you so much for your lovely review, I'm really glad you had a good time and we were able to help you with your booking (and that you didn't let our sneaky red herrings bother you!)
Tom will be pleased to hear he helped make your experience an enjoyable one, he's a star! If you liked Warped, why not try Spellbound? You've travelled through time, but can you handle a little magic?!
Whichever you try, I wish you the best of luck!

I really enjoyed this experience. Being only two of us we chose 'Vacancy' which had a lot of surprises and was a great room for two people. I especially loved the host's delivery of the story at the beginning, which really got us in the mood, she was helpful with a couple of hints also, but didn't give away the game.
I think more obvious signage might be needed as i think we walked into game rather than reception when we walked in which was a bit embarrassing.
If it doesn't interfere with games, some background music in the waiting area upstairs might improve the atmosphere.
Also, i really struggled seeing the padlock numbers they were tiny, perhaps i need glasses, and think the creepy music in the room could be louder or have a speaker in each section to maintain the atmosphere.
Really enjoyed the afternoon, many thanks.

Hello Christopher,
Thank you for your review and feedback. It's good to hear your game operator helped to get you in the mood to breakout and that they gave you the right amount of help!
As you come into our building straight down the stairs is our "Shipwrecked" room and we have had a few groups accidentally go inside this room instead of reception. However we now have 3 signs upon this door directing customers the way to reception so hopefully this issue has now been addressed.
Our upstairs reception does have a TV displaying all the rooms with some background music however it may not have been turned on for your visit which we are sorry about and definitely agree a little bit of background music is always nice in a reception area.
The locks can be a little tricky to see sometimes if you do not have your glasses with you, however we can always offer a torch to help if that is the case, so please do not be afraid to ask for one on your next visit if that would help.
We appreciate the feedback for the creepy music in the room and I agree we should have it a bit louder and going into all of the room, especially if it was a bit quiet on your visit as we do indeed want to keep that atmosphere building throughout your game.
It's great to hear you enjoyed the afternoon and we will look to take your feedback on board, we hope to see you again soon and hopefully your next visit will be a 5 star experience!
All the best,
Breakout Liverpool Team

We had so much fun doing the room with the mad scientist; it was difficult and had so many different puzzles but we got there in the end and was really satisfied when we managed to do it. We were given a personal mentor who was fab (I think her name was Chip but it was a while ago so not sure). She made such an effort to personalise our experience, get to know us, and we really felt like she was rooting for us. We will definitely return and really recommend Breakout Liverpool

Hello Nikki,
Chip will be thrilled to hear that she made your experience memorable! The Facility is a difficult room at 4 stars, so well done with escaping.
For your next escape, why not try Outbreak? Another 4 star room sure to challenge you as you escape a zombie horde.
Thanks for your review, we are glad you enjoyed your experience!

Great place to visit. We went with the cursed carnival room, rated 3/5 for difficulty and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, clues weren't too simple so that we felt spoon fed but were still helpful enough for us to progress. Had to change dates due to covid and the venue were more than happy to help which we really appreciated. Price seemed expensive at first but when we saw the quality of the place and the fact you have someone helping you at all times watching you it now seems a bargain. Perfect for a fun date or a family event.

We had a cracking 48 mins at Breakout on a chilly Saturday afternoon.
Pre-booked the 'Cursed Carnival' room, very well set up, decent bit of brain training and keeps the mind ticking over.
Staff were ecstatic we'd got out of that room, great entertainment and would recommend.

This was our first escape room experience and it won’t be our last. The team at Breakout Liverpool were great. We were welcomed into the building and you could see all covid guidelines were being followed. Our game operator, Bridget, was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. She spent a few minutes before going over the rules and giving us an idea on what to expect. We were booked in for the ‘Reclassified’ escape room and it was so much better than we expected. Bridget explained that she we would watch over us and give us clues as and when she felt we needed them, which at some points we were truly grateful for, but the clues were still very much cryptic and gave us just the little push we needed. Once we were finished Bridget shared some of the other escapes that she thought we would enjoy. I can’t wait to return.

Thank you for taking the time to write this comprehensive review! Bridget will be glad to hear that she helped make your experience special.
Since you enjoyed Reclassified, then Sabotage will be a great follow up. As the 5 star sequel to Reclassified, Sabotage is your chance to use your secret agent skills to stop a missile strike.
Thanks again, looking forward to your return!

We were a group of 4 friends and did Facility on a Saturday night with Tom. Tom was fantastic - just the right amount of prep and a few good hints. A lot of fun and highly recommended. The first person to enter facility needs to be a bit brave!

In Facility, I heard someone gets put in a separate room in the beginning. Does this person have to solve anything by themselves in the separate room? Or do they just wait to be rescued?
Written January 11, 2020
Without spoiling anything, there’s one or two things they have to do/find for those on the outside to rescue them, but it’s nothing mentally challenging! The room they get locked in is only small, so it’s not difficult to figure out!

Are there any mobility restrictions? Are all of the events suitable for wheelchair users?
Written February 18, 2019
This is the statement from Breakout Liverpool regarding access restrictions and mobility requirements.
"Unfortunately the building we currently operate out of does not have wheelchair access. Very few aspects of the game require physical movements but we do advise that at least one member of the teams does not have mobility problems. No clues require the ability to hear but a sound will be made on occasions to alert people to clues so it is advisable to have one member of the team who can hear. The majority of clues and puzzles are visual ones."

You can have up to 5 people and the more you take the cheaper it is per person so the price will vary. The website will tell you how much it will be based on the number is people taking part.

I would say most definitely. I would ask Breakout the best room to book based on their age? I think for example The Facility is for over 16s. My daughter is 13 and loved it. She would definitely enjoy it with a group of friends :-)
Written March 4, 2018
we are a group of 8 people- it that too many?
Written March 2, 2018
I think it’s max 5 to a room - but in a group you can play against each other and do 2 similar difficulty rooms starting at the same time with 4 each. The race to win adds extra fun to challenge.
