- Radu D2 contributionsSuperHad an amazing time doing the Frankenstein room, was the perfect amount of complexity! Me and my friends have done few rooms in Liverpool aswell. We’ve been on newton street, Priscilla was amazing, she did an amazing job explaining everything and she has a good sense of humour. In fact she did her job so good that I want to ask her out sometime just, you know, to show my appreciation, If she’s interested she can add me on instagram: raduc2peu Can’t wait to come back and do more rooms!😁Visited March 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 19 March 2023
- deborah-seville1966Manchester, United Kingdom12 contributionsFab experienceHi, I would just like to give feedback on Alex, the worker who assisted us during our breakout. He was very informative and helpful, which made our first time there extra special. And yes... we broke out 😆 Thank you Alex if you see this. Your a star 🌟Glad to hear you had such a great time and thank you for leaving such a kind review, we will pass your praise on to Alex!

- Dylan Kor1 contributionMore difficult that expectedIt seemed relatively easy at first, but I immediately took my words back as soon as we could barely solve anything after 20 minutes. Priscilla did a great job of explaining everything, and the only reason we managed to solve everything was thanks to the hints she provided. In my opinion, the experience was well worth the money.Hi! We're glad you had such a good time, even if it was a little challenging! If you enjoyed the concept but want slightly easier room maybe try our Cursed Carnival room? We'll make sure Pricilla knows how much you enjoyed it and look forward to seeing you again!Written 24 March 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited March 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 22 March 2023
- Amanda DManchester, United Kingdom1 contributionImmortal - another fantastic room!We escaped! This was our 4th visit to Breakout and our 3rd escape with 1 we didn’t finish which was our 1st attempt so we weren’t really sure what we were doing and definitely chose a room too hard! Our game operator yesterday was Priscilla and she did a fantastic job, set the scene well at the beginning and really helped us during the game when we were embarrassingly stuck on something rather obvious! Can’t wait to book again and will definitely be doing the enchanted room recommended by Priscilla. Couldn’t rate Breakout any higher, great fun for friends and very good for testing relationships!Hi, Thank you for leaving such a nice review! Glad you had such a good time and will pass your words on to Pricilla.

- lollipopbling112 contributionsFrankensteinThe staff at Breakout are always super friendly, and Avery was no exception -- thank you so much for guiding us through the Frankenstein room! Some of the puzzles made you think outside the box, and Avery's clues were timely and personalised, but she also didn't help us along too much, so it was still a challenge. We felt really looked after, and managed to make it out with six minutes to spare. Thanks, Avery!Hi, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review, we're glad you had such a good time!

- LivBolton, United Kingdom51 contributionsImmortal Newton StreetWe love a vampire theme room so had to try Immortal from the new location. Very well themed room and some nice puzzles that fit that theme well. With it being Easter, there were a few chocolates hidden throughout the room which was a nice incentive to search the room properly! 😂 Thea was our host and they were really friendly, chatting to us before/after the room and we managed to be the fastest team to escape for the day too so we appreciate the help to get us there too. Will be back for the other rooms we’ve not done yet as soon as possibleHi, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. I will be sure to pass your words on to Thea. Congratualotions on being the fastest escpae of the day! We look forward to seeing you again soon, lets see if you can be the fastest again!

We had a fantastic experience doing Immortal. Our host Gayatri was amazing, loved her energy. The room had a lot to do but wasn't too difficult so it was a lot of fun! Definitely recommend.

We did three rooms! Captured, unsolved and crimsons lake hotel! We escaped all of them and even beat the record for captured! As well as getting fastest time of the day! Ellie D ran our captured room and was amazing! Super funny and make the experience really lovely! Emily ran our unsolved and was great! We didn’t need any clues! And finally Alex ran crimson lake hotel! Super fun and a bit of a challenge but he helped when we needed! Great rooms great staff! Good fun!

Hi Ellie,
Thank you for your review and kind words, they are very much appreciated. Well done on escaping all three rooms, not an easy feat especially Crimson Lake Motel, with it being one of our toughest. Also congratulations on beating the record for Captured!
We'll pass on your kind words to Ellie D, Emily and Alex, they will all be thrilled to hear you had such a positive experience.
If you're looking for your next challenge, we would recommend our Forsaken room. It's a little bit tougher than Crimson Lake Motel and a lot of fun to boot.
We look forward to seeing you again soon!

I booked the immortal room for my friends birthday and had the best time. The room was challenging enough but we were still able to have fun. The experience was made even better by Jess who operated our game and was constantly making our group laugh. Can't recommend it enough.

Breakout is a very good escape room company, the stories are good, the puzzles are challenging enough to keep you entertained but not too hard that you feel like giving up. We played the detective agency room and our host Gayatri was helpful and engaging.

This was the best escape room I've ever done!
We played "Enchanted." The room was really well designed to create an immersive atmosphere. The clues were just the right level of difficulty - it was interesting and very fun! When we did need a hint, the clues were cryptic and funny and it was clear that the staff running the room were genuinely invested in us having a great experience.
We'll definitely be back to try another room - when they aren't all booked up!!

Hey there!
Thanks so much for coming along, it sounds like you had an amazing time!
Some recommendations if you were a fan of Enchanted are Immortal and Unsolved, those two are also the same difficulty so it will hopefully still provide enough challenge for you.
Thanks again for your kind words,
The Breakout Team.

Played Vacancy and Cursed Carnival on the 5th, then Murder on the Dance Floor, Unsolved, Crimson Lake Hotel, Enchanted and Immortal on the 6th! Got out of all but one!
We absolutely loved all of the rooms we played, and had so much fun we just had to book those extra two on the end! Well sign posted, unique puzzles, and great atmosphere. Big thanks to Conrad for Cursed Carnival and Janna for Crimson Lake, definitely my favourites! I'm so sorry to the rest of the GMs who ran our games that day, every one was absolutely amazing and made the experience for us.
Will definitely be coming back to play the rest soon!

Hi. I was wondering if your rooms are to difficult for ten year olds for a birthday. And would it be to difficult to enjoy for kids?
Connie A
1 contribution
I would recommend Emporium of Magic for a 10 year old! It's a brilliant magical room which I think a family would really enjoy. I'd say you would still need at least one adult with them but I think 10 year olds would definitely enjoy it.

Hi Ruth,
Thank you for your question. Our rooms are designed for a minimum of 2 players, with a maximum allowance of 5 people.
Sadly we cannot have an individual in the rooms, this is mainly because our rooms contain puzzles that require multiple participants to complete them.
I hope this helps.

Hi I’m wanting to book a room for me and my boyfriend for his birthday, we’re in our mid 20s so what room would you recommend?! I don’t want anything too hard OR too easy?! Thanks x

Hi, I would recommend a 2 or 3 star for beginners. Don't be put off by the lower rating, the puzzles are still challenging, just easier than our other rooms. We have various themes (horror, spy, detective etc). I would recommend checking out our website to see all of our rooms. I personally think The The Detective Office, Identify or Infiltrate would be the best options for beginner's. I would avoid 4 or 5 star rooms unless you have played escape rooms before, to give you an idea of what to expect.

Hi there! My boyfriend and I are visiting Manchester next week.
We both know English pretty good though not perfectly flulent.
We've done escape room before but not in English just yet. Will the room be suitable for us?
And also, how long before should we book a room?
Sandra D
Derby, UK28 contributions
The staff are very good an patient, so I am sure you will be fine. You will need to have an understanding of reading English as there are written clues.
I would book as soon as possible especially if you are looking to book a weekend visit.
I am sure you will enjoy it. Hope you both have a wonderful time in Manchester.

Can children do It?
Linsey C
St Helens, UK10 contributions
Sorry to only answer now, like others have said, depends on the childs age as some of the clues are quite tricky so I think a younger child would get frustrated, my stepdaughter is 11 and she loves it although some of the clues are still a bit hard for her. I probably wouldn't go younger than 10 as some rooms are a bit scary as well!
