Frequently Asked Questions

What is this?

Breakout is a live escape room game located in Liverpool. You are locked in a room with friends, family or work colleagues for an hour and have to solve a series of puzzles and mysteries to escape. You will have to search high and low for clues and work together if you want to escape. You have 60 minutes to escape by using only your brain, there are no physical activities or challenges involved in the game.

Will I enjoy this?


It is a unique experience and one that will stay with you for a long time. Each room is carefully designed to ensure maximum entertainment value. If you are looking for a fun group activity or family day out that is slightly different this is the activity for you.

What TV show or Film is this similar to?


How hard is the game?

Common sense and thinking out side the box goes a lot further than intelligence. You do not need any special ‘skills’ to get out of the room, a very basic level of English and numbers will be enough. Each room has a difficulty rating out of 5. Could we tell you more? Yes, but we wouldn’t want to spoil the experience.

Who normally plays this?

A complete mixture of personality, ages, sexes and nationalities play live escape games. Teams can be made up of friends, family, work colleagues, student peers, travellers and many others. It is a great team and corporate building exercise or a fantastic experience to celebrate a special occasion.

Do you accommodate special occasions?

Yes we do. All are welcome at Breakout Liverpool be it birthdays, anniversaries, hen or stag dos, engagement parties, leaving events and everything else under the sun. At our Manchester centre we even had a proposal in one of the rooms!

Which room should I play?

Our advice would be to go the room page which is located here and choose your decision based on the one you like the sound of the most. Of course after you have tried one room you will be hooked and want to try all the others.

What is the recommended number of players per team?


Accessibility and special 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.

I’m claustrophobic, can I play?

Yes you can. The rooms are all of a reasonable size and you will not find yourself in an enclosed space at any point. You can leave the room at any point if you so wish. However the rooms are situated in the basement. If you have any futher queries please contact us on

The price is dependent on the number of people who are taking part in the game. The more people who take part in the game then the cheaper the game becomes.
