The rhythm of the whole experience kept everyone energized and in sync.

It created space for smiles, connection, and good shared energy.

A great way to do something exciting while staying relaxed and engaged.

We laughed more than we expected and felt great being part of something together.

A happy, upbeat group moment we’ll definitely be remembering for a while.

We had a GREAT experience at Breakout! It was so much fun! Andy, the game master, was awesome! I highly recommend the Runaway Train escape!

Family with 8 people did the Runaway Train room. No details, but it's a great room with a lot of fun puzzles to put together. The games master, Zach, was great in letting us figure out the room

Had such an amazing time on the Runaway Train!!! Our game master Parris was incredible and intuitive to our needs during the game. Parris was so encouraging and we felt empowered to solve the game!!

Entertaining and challenging. This is a perfect venue for a couple, a family, a corporate event, etc.

We did the runaway train challenge and it was our first time ever in an escape room. There's something to be said for experience - some aspects require less examination and some require more. Going thru a room once will give you a much better idea of which aspects fall into which bucket.

Staff will chime in on the speaker if/when they see you doing something that's obviously wrong or if they see you struggling. You will need these "Big Brother" guides, hints, or whatever you want to call them.

My group and I played runaway train a few weeks ago. I think out of all the escape rooms I have played. Train is my favorite. GM was awesome. We had fun playing with her.

We went to Breakout as a guift for my son's 32nd birthday. What an awesome time. We did the runaway train and it weas a great exercise in group problem solving. Can't wait to go back and try another senario. I could see this being a perfect team building activity for co-workers.

We were visiting Breakout with our 2 teen daughters and some young adult family. We all had a LOT of fun doing 3 escape rooms at Breakout. The Runaway Train was super fantastic. We broke out of all rooms with some hints. It was great fun for all.

We had a great time. In town on vacation.

We did "runaway train". It was a lot of fun, clever game, interesting clues and interesting logic problems, nicely decorated.

Our game master did a great job. Our best game master yet (we've done about nine escape games across the country).

We'll do Breakout rooms again.

RobMay 18, 2023

Yes. It’s pricey. Yes. I’d pay double to do it again and again and AGAIN!!! It is beyond completely worth the price because of the thrill alone! You will NOT regret it! You’ll want to do them all!!

Staff were excellent and professional, you could tell they cared about your experience. Facility and props were high quality. Would definitely go again.

We went here with family as it was their first time doing anything of this sort and we loved it !! Every one at Breakout was very friendly and informative before our game started , i would defiantly recommend going to see them .

I just returned to Breakout again to try out their new room "Runaway Train". As always the staff is super friendly. The game master was non-intrusive but attentive and helpful when needed. Breakout's rooms are always fun and they seem happy to keep things as serious or light as an individual group wants. Runaway Train is a physically small room so 6 or 7 people is plenty. The decor is well suited for the room, and there are some cool puzzles to be had. This room is a little bit math heavy. Breakout remains the best escape experience in Birmingham!

Our group did the Runaway Train escape room and it was by far the most exciting escape experience I have ever had. The room had a lot of super unique puzzles and challenges that I haven't seen before in any other room. Our game master Christian was extremely helpful and made the game go very smoothly the whole time! I would one hundred and ten percent recommend checking this out.
