Excellent experience. The perfect way to spent quality time with my teenage nephew. We did the runaway train room. I say it was B difficulty. Next time I'm going back to try the submarine one. read more

So fun! Even two people can finish within 60 min! Room is pretty big and lots of moving around and logically thinking! Highly recommend for 4-6 people read more

We defused the bomb with minutes to spare!! We treated my daughter in law to a breakout experience for her birthday. She chose Breakout Games because of the great reviews. I was super impressed with the employees at Breakout Games. We had to reschedule our game, and they were very accommodating. Also, our game host was great! We decided to do the Bomb Squad breakout because it fit our timeframe. It was challenging enough for everyone in our group. We had 5 people, and it wasn't too crowded, plus everyone had something to do at all times. Everyone in our group was hooked afterward and wanted to come back and try all the other games. This was a great birthday activity!! I highly recommend it. read more

I went here for my sisters birthday, we went to the Island game. It wasn't that clean and looked a little on the older side but we had a blast! It was also on the pricey side so keep that in mind. If your an escape room newbie I would suggest starting out with a group of people. My sister and I were first timers and it was just us so we needed A LOT of clues/hints and we barely got out within the selected time frame. It would have been a lot more fun had we went with a group of people so I would definitely suggest bringing a group with you. The staff was super nice and I would definitely consider going back! read more

I. Absolutely. Loved. This. Place. I could really end my review with the five words above, but I'll give you a little bit more to go on. My husband and I tried this place on yesterday for the first time with a group of friends. I honestly did not know what to expect so I was a little anxious. Thoughts of severe claustrophobia ran through my mind, but I told myself to relax. After our group arrived, the employee working the computer made sure we had all signed our waivers. We were then escorted back with our game guide. (I believe her name is Anna.) Anna gave us an overview of how things work. I don't want to say too much, but the hour you get to "escape" flies by. It really took us putting on our think caps to figure out all the puzzles in our room. I was nervous that we wouldn't break out, but we did with literally a couple minutes to spare. This experience would be great for a work team as a team building or team bonding exercise. This experience is also great to do with friends and family. I plan to go back and at least try a few more of the other scenarios. Now, that I have an idea of how things work, I'm excited to break out again in the near future! read more

This was my first time here and I absolutely enjoyed it!!! I wasn't too sure at first because it was just me and my friend for the Island Escape, but We had an awesome time. Unfortunately we didn't breakout, but I definitely had an adrenaline rush when we got down to the last 5 minutes. Phillip, the staff member who explained everything to us was awesome too!! He was very knowledgeable and funny! You can tell he really loves his job. This place is great for a date night, family outing, or just going with a group of friends. I plan on going back to enjoy the other escape rooms and actually try to "breakout" this time! read more

This is my second time visiting the Breakout Games in Birmingham. We have taken our out-of-town family when they come to visit. We recently did the Clue room (based on the board game). As a fan of the game, I was excited to try this out! Our game master Ben was super nice and helpful. He was friendly and explained what we needed to do. He left the room, and we got to work. Ben was fun and helped out our group when we got stuck. We were able to break out and solve the game! I can't wait to go back and try their other rooms! If you are looking for something fun to do indoors, check out Breakout Games Birmingham!! read more

We love this place-- in fact, we've done every single room (including the two new ones!). Staff are so fun and kind, and the rooms are done very well. We've taken others to this location and will continue to do so! Can't wait to go back once they open new rooms in the future. read more

The game we chose was very interesting. You really have to use teamwork to win and the staff was nice.

Everyone had a blast! We didn't breakout, but our game master Emily G. was amazing and made the day so much fun for my daughter ! (7/23)

I can write a book on how much fun I had here. I came with my mom brother and sister for what was supposed to be one game. We had such a blast we ended up doing two that night. This was our first ever escape room and it did not let us down at all. Our game masters were definitely passionate about their job and was so enthusiastic and entertaining they definitely made the experience a blast. The next day my brother and sister and I couldn't stop talking about how much fun we had and wondered if we could do a better breakout time so we ended up driving back up to do another one. This time beating all the other rooms time with the use of less clues. My brother sister and I are all completely different people but doing this game with them showed me how amazing they are are communicating and team work. It's definitely something we will be doing again and coming back. read more

We did the Clue escape room for my sons 15th birthday and it was a lot of fun. My 20 year old daughter, husband, and best friend had and an amazing time working together to figure out who did it in what room with what weapon. It was so much fun. I hope get they get more versions of Clue because we would do it again in a heartbeat. Our game master was fantastic. He gave us just the right amount of clues so that were were able to break out just in time. read more

Very nice staff and very fun game just the right amount of challenge not too hard but perfect. I recommend it it's very fun

We took a chance with Chance! We had a great time! We were so close! It was more challenging than I thought it would be. Our game guide was wonderful and the kids had a blast!! Setting everything up was super easy. Everyone we encountered that worked there was super helpful and nice! read more

So so so fun!!! We did the kidnap room and it was amazing! Our host was the nicest!! 10/10 recommend!

We came here as a group of 4 from the same company for team building. Super easy to book online and had a blast. Jay was a great game master and took care of us. I loved every minute. Highly recommend for friends or coworkers! Good read more

We had such a fun time except we could tell our game master was going to be a problem. "Nova" our game master was no help at all and slammed the door on us when we recommended that a fan would probably help the heat in the room. It was unimaginably hot and by the time we got out we were all miserable. It does not matter who your customers are you need to treat them with respect and there was a better way to address the concerns we had, and not slam the door in our faces. Other than that we had a great time! read more

Go ahead and put me on the long list of Yelpers who love this place. We actually held a Yelp event there, and have now gone on my own. So the review to follow is for our personal experience just yesterday. I went my wife and in-laws. No one except for my wife and I had done any type of breakout game. So there was a little hesitation in the air. After my other experiences, I couldn't wait to do it again... so I was really excited. This round we did the Casino and it was a blast. Our game master was very friendly and helpful. And with the majority of our group as rookies and not really knowing where to start, we were a little slow out of the gate. But then we hit our stride making our way through the gambling based puzzles. For anyone who is concerned, you need minimal gambling knowledge to do these games. Mainly just the basics of Blackjack and Roulette. But pretty much any one could have done it. I won't go into any details so not to give anything away. But we had an absolute blast. It is one of those experiences where the hour flies by, and you can't stop chatting about it after. We broke out with a mere :33 left and the stress level was high (in an exhilarating, fun way). Overall a great experience... and once again, I can't wait to go back! read more

Breakout Games - We broke out! - Escape Games Near Me - Homewood, Alabama

I went here with co-workers in sort of a team building activity and I can't wait to do it with my student staff!! There were so many of us that we got to do groups in every room so it was nice to debrief with everyone afterwards. We did the kidnap room and got out with a little under 10 mins to spare! Walking in the staff was great with our large group getting us set up and breaking us into smaller groups. I'm not going to give away any thing that happened in the room but it was challenging, fun and I really got to know my co-workers! I love that we had to work together in order to get out and I think this type of event is great for friends, teams that are thriving and teams that are struggling! I do think it's the type of thing that once you do it once you can never do that room again, they have 5 different rooms I believe which at least gives me the chance to go back again. read more

What a fun place in Birmingham. I had a great first experience here with co-workers as a team building activity one afternoon. The staff is super friendly and accommodating, and also very helpful. Our group of 12 split in two groups, one doing the Mystery Mansion and the other called Do Not Disturb, which I was a part of. We had so much fun with this in a "hotel room" theme trying to track down a kidnapper who had us trapped in the room. Trying to find clues and get out of there in one hour is a challenge but we had a blast. We didn't quite breakout, but were very close! The staff even helped along the way. They gave us 3 free clues we could ask for at any time if we were stumped. After we finished, we even went next door to get pictures taken, which is always fun. All in all, a super cool venue in Birmingham. I highly recommend coming here and hope to be back soon bringing some friends! A big thanks to Jeremy for arranging and helping make it a fun day. read more

Came here with a group of six as part of a birthday celebration to do Hostage breakout. We all had a really good time. We had a fifth grader and a seventh grader with us and they were able to participate and help solve the problems too. You get one hour to figure out how to escape. Warning - it is not easy. We were blind folded and handcuffed together and put in a room. We were able to remove the blindfolds immediately. Then we had to figure out how to get out of the handcuffs. The key is to realize that pretty much everything in the room is a clue to your escape. If you push a button and nothing happens, look around to see if something has changed in the room or if something is different. We were told our room only had a 35 percent escape rate. We were able to get out with 8 minutes to spare. It helped that we had two people on our team who had escaped from three of the other rooms so they sort of knew how to think. I wonder how we would have done without them. Our friend says that he always thinks it will be easier the next room he does, but it never is. Still, it definitely takes a team effort to complete this task. You do have a game master who is watching the room and is available to call on if you need help. He/she will give you up to three clues. You will definitely need them because you will get stuck. We decided that we would try and use a clue every fifteen minutes so we wouldn't use them too fast. This would be a great team building event. Would love to bring a work group here. Definitely worth the price. So go see if you can Breakout! read more

This was sooo much fun! We actually made it out! We did the kidnapping... We had 7 people in our group ranging from 14-27. This was fun for everyone it really makes you think and it's nice that you can get 3 or 4 hints. It feels impossible without the clues. The people are friendly and it's a great bonding activity. Check it out! We will go back to try another room! read more

Came again for date night. The new Covid measures make you feel safe even though, it makes for a bigger challenge when it's just the 2 of you. But we did break out! And we had a ball read more

Ben was an awesome game master!!! He made the experience enjoyable and I really felt like we were locked in a room. The entire thing was well put together and I even wanted to buy one do the props for my house because I loved it so much. We did the Haunted Mansion! Would love to try out more rooms! read more

Breakout Games - We did it with 15 seconds to spare!! - Escape Games Near Me - Homewood, Alabama

The family loved the Kidnapped Breakout game. My 11 year old loved it as well. Its great for all ages above that. We broke out. Awesome time. Well worth the family time. We got a great family photo and "got the tshirts" We will be back. Can't say to much without being a spoiler. read more

It is difficult to review an establishment when it is the only of it's kind in an area. When you are the only fish in the tank, you are, ipso facto, the best fish in the tank, no matter how pitiful a fish you may be. This is the case with Breakout Birmingham. There are only a few options when it comes to Escape Rooms in the Birmingham area, and while Breakout IS the best in town, it is still not very good. Because Breakout is a franchise, a lot of the puzzles are "out of the box" puzzles you'll find at every Breakout location. This is definitely a one-time-that's-it situation. Once you've played a room in one Breakout location, you can't play it anywhere else every again. I've now tried the Museum Heist and the Casino Royale rooms. Both provided a challenge. Both had puzzles that I enjoyed. Neither were exciting! Neither gave me the rush that other rooms have in other cities. While I've seen a few well-done Breakout franchise locations, this one simply isn't cutting it with theming. Imagine, if you will, a (somewhat adult) themed child's birthday party... in an office building. That's what it felt like. The games were arranged appropriately, but there was not effort to make the casino room LOOK like a casino. Same went for the museum heist room. The folks here are nice as can be- they've got that going for them! Final thoughts: If you live in the Birmingham area, like puzzles, have some extra $$, and want a fun way to spend an hour, definitely give Breakout a try. If you are an escape room enthusiast and want a real experience, I'd advise you to take a day trip to Atlanta or Nashville and visit the incredible experiences the bigger cities have to offer. read more

We've played two rooms at this location and it was an awesome experience. Interesting and compelling rooms which were super fun and engaging. Both our game masters were cordial and involved with us. I would definitely recommend it for anyone from just couples to bigger teams, there's a game choice for all. read more

We had a blast, first time visiting for all 8 of us and it was a great time!! We did the Mystery Mansion and it was awesome, we were able to escape the room in the time given. With the help of our great master!! :) read more

Came here with some coworkers while on a work trip. Had a great time and the staff was awesome. Will was our game master and was very patient and friendly. Tyler aka Talon was awesome too. Best part is we escaped. read more

This was a super fun experience. Our group did the Kidnap scenario. There were tons of clues and locks to free other clues. The venue was clean. Safety is taken seriously and you can leave the room if necessary. We had 4 people booked, but they didn't add anyone else to our group. There will be another room scenario soon, so we hope to not miss any of them. This is a great team building exercise. It wasn't overly cheesy. There were surprises through the experience. We think that we want to dress swanky for casino royale and do it next month. I feel like we got a great experience for our money. read more

My fiancee took me for my birthday because I had been dying to go ever since we participated in the scavenger hunt (which was great and I hope they do another one soon-maybe just a little more organized). The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because though I love a good mystery, the clues we kind of all over the place (we did The Kidnapping). I think this place would be the greatest with just a little more organization. But I can't wait to go back and try the others read more

This place is cool. Definitely fun times. We did the mystery mansion room and I had a blast. It was very good mental exercise, challenging. You definitely have to pay attention to detail here, but I feel like after doing one room I might be more prepared for the others just because I know more or less what to expect in terms of games, puzzles and clues. They don't let you take pictures inside because, really, who wants to the party pooper that ruins the surprises and spoils a room? Worth checking out with a good group of friends. It'll only take an hour but is so much better than like a movie or something just because of the interactive nature read more

We went as a multigenerational group of 8. Grandparents down to grand kids to celebrate New Year's Eve. Everyone was able to participate at different times during the game. Our game master was helpful and friendly. We will be back. This was a ton of fun for everybody. read more

What a super fun time! Came here with a group of 4 and we were lucky enough to have the room to ourselves. We picked the "The Hostage" game. The location was almost missed but in a great spot nonetheless. We arrived and didn't wait long before our room was ready. We got to our room where she gave us all of the safety guidelines which were pretty simple. We were blind folded and handcuffed and walked in one by one. Once that happen that's when the fun began. Our game master was helpful with the clues and even gave us extra time when one of our clues malfunctioned. We almost made it but mixed of some of the clues, We didn't break out but I can't wait to go back and try another escape game. This is probably one of the best things to do in Birmingham. read more

This was so much fun! My boyfriend and I had a blast in the Kidnapping scenario, we made it out with 2 minutes to spare. It was really well designed and incredibly challenging. We can't wait to try another room! read more

Breakout games are great, intense fun. You are trapped inside of a room for an hour (not literally - emergency exits are provided) and given a scenario or sequence of puzzles and riddles to solve to make it out of the room. Each room is different, so you can come back multiple times. The cost is a little expensive, but it is worth it to me as the experience is great and unique. I want to come back and beat every scenario they have! read more

Y'all!!! This place was SO fun! If you're in to solving problems, then you definitely need to do this. I was with a group of 6 others folks for our Yelp event, and we absolutely loved it. Every one of us. Fun thing is that this activity is independent of weather, so you can do it whenever it's open. We did the Museum Heist, and it was supposedly one of the tougher ones. We were able to make it out, and it was a blast trying all of these different things within the setting. I will ABSOLUTELY be coming back to try more of the rooms in the future, and will be bringing many friends/family as much as I can. I think there are 4-6 different rooms right now, so I got a few more visits to do. A fun thing, too, is that you really probably won't notice everything that people did to progress through the setting so you might still get some things you don't know if you come back months later to work the same room. The Breakout crew was all super friendly, and helpful. They did a wonderful job of incorporating some cool tech into pretty much the whole room and building. It was all very innovative, and I wish I had come up with something like this! It's only 1 year old, and they are already killing it for a great all around experience! I'm looking forward to watching this grow! read more

These breakout rooms are great! The staff is quick to get you in and started! We had a lot of fun with Emily G and can't wait to come back!

I had so much fun here when we went on a field trip. Me and my group did the game "Do Not Disturb"! Our game master was Jamie. She was so nice and we all loved her. I think Jamie deserves a raise. Because of her we had loads of fun! GIVE JAIME A RAISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more
