I have been visiting breakout Liverpool over the last few years and now only have 2 rooms left to try out 😭
We have always loved our visits with all staff being nothing but welcoming and friendly.
Our 2 most recent visits were in October the room was cursed carnival our host was B
And today we visited and our room was warped our host was Tom (both me and my boyfriend would highly recommend both of these rooms)
Both B and Tom not only were both really friendly and welcoming about our games but they both also took the time to chat to us about our love of escape rooms and chatted about different room and compared our experiences. We didn't feel like they were rushing us and showed a genuine interest in our thoughts. I recommend breakout Liverpool to everyone. Keep up the good work guys you all do a great job xx

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

Really enjoyed the breakout escape room. We chose the detective story A. There were 6 of us and each one of us was able to solve one of the puzzles . Clues not too easy so you felt you had achieved something when we were able to breakout.

Good to get help every now and again fron guys in the control room. Based on our experience, I would recommend as a great afternoon out. The staff were very polite and helpful. Would definitely go again and try another puzzle room.

Hi, Thanks so much for such a lovely review! We're really glad you enjoyed our murder mystery room, and we'd say go for a bank robbery next! The Heist is a similar difficulty level to what you've played so it should be a good challenge. Or you could play our seasonal room Christmas Chaos, only available for a limited time! We hope to see you soon for another game! All the best, Breakout Liverpool

Paid a visit to Breakout last Wednesday during a Christmas break to Liverpool with my partner. Having played three escape rooms previously elsewhere, we knew we definitely wanted to do another and so we found Breakout online. We ended up choosing Spellbound for its challenge rating and also the fact that my partner is a massive Harry Potter fan!
Our Games Master for Spellbound was Tom and he was absolutely excellent, his love for the job completely shines through. Tom was so friendly, got us super excited to play and dropped us a couple of clues that got our brains ticking again without giving too much away! I don’t want to spoil anything but Spellbound itself was the perfect mix of fun and challenging, a great all rounder. We managed to escape and whilst chatting with Tom at the end of the game he recommended that we do Christmas Chaos to get us into the Christmas spirit, so less than 5 minutes after we left the building we had it booked!
We returned two days later to play Christmas Chaos, this time with John as our Games Master. We knew from the challenge rating that Christmas Chaos wouldn’t be as challenging as Spellbound but John made it fun, immersive and got us right into the Christmas spirit! I’d definitely recommend it if you’re in the area at Christmas and wanting a bit of fun.
Can’t fault Tom or John, the girls at Reception (apologies, didn’t catch their names!) were also excellent and the whole thing was Covid secure. Highly recommend the whole experience and we’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Liverpool.

Hello, Thank you so much for your glowing review! We're thrilled that you had such a good time in Spellbound that you came back for Christmas Chaos! We'll let Tom and John know that you enjoyed the games and their hosting, they'll really appreciate it. We'd recommend The Heist, our bank robbery room, or maybe Outbreak, our horror zombie themed room (if you're feeling brave), for your next Breakout game. Thanks again and hopefully we'll see you soon!

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.

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 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!

Both me and my partner really enjoyed our time here. The difficulty rating is very accurate - you had to think out of the box but it was manageable. John was a very good host showing us to the room and giving us appropriate clues to help us escape. He was very professional and friendly. I highly recommend these escape rooms to anyone visiting Liverpool.
Thanks again!

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 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!
