For Break Out's first room, they've chosen the circus as the theme, creating the Ringmaster's Den.After a short briefing explaining the essential details of the game, the players are led into the room. Once everyone is in, the door is locked. To add dramatic effect, the knob on the inside has been removed. At this point, a timer in the corner begins counting down from an hour and the players are left to find clues that will lead to their escape.The game's puzzle is elaborately constructed, compelling the players to completely immerse themselves in the experience.

Time slips away as you rack your brain, and before you know it, thirty minutes have passed. Tension and adrenaline levels rise as the seconds tick away. As you piece things together, excitement grows urging the group to work more cohesively toward the common goal, outsmarting the Ringmaster.Break Out have created an experience that is totally interactive and challenging.
