Breakout is my second Escape Room experience and we had a ball! We escaped the Mystery Mansion room with less than a minute to spare! Things got dicey there at the end but we were all so proud to have broken out. Bobby was our Game Master and they were a total delight. Even though one of their coworkers forgot to reset a lock, we played along and pretended it was still locked until we found its hint. The game truly was challenging and each step forward we made was so rewarding. There were some clues I just could never have made the logical leap to solve without a hint from our GM, but I'm glad they give us hints so that we enjoy our time. We laughed a lot over our fumbles and celebrated our successes together. It was a wonderful double date and I hope to come back as soon as I can to experience it again! Thanks, Bobby! read more

We did "Hostage" and it was one of the worst escape rooms I've ever done. None of the puzzles were adequately signposted, we spent a lot of time with the right answers and no clue what to do with them. It felt like you were just supposed to guess a lot of stuff with no way to figure it out other than blind chance (or hints). The handcuff gimmick was at least interesting. read more

We almost...so so so close to lifting the curse in the "Mystery Mansion" event. There was a nice mix of easy and hard puzzles, some almost too easy that left you thinking 'nah....' Our gamemaster Sydney was great and helpful when we all agreed to ask for clues/help etc. Definitely use any whiteboards they give you and write things down! Can't wait to try some of the other events! read more

Me and my friends played the Do Not Disturb room (12/15/20) and had so much fun! This is one of the toughest rooms at this location, so if you want an extra challenge I definitely recommend this one, even for me and my friend who do quite a few escape rooms and are decent at them, this one really made our brains squeeze. I can't remember our game masters name but he was a hoot and super helpful, some game masters don't give you a lot when you ask for a hint but he did it in a great way that guided us without straight up telling us, which is how it should be. We made it to the very last task and missed getting out within seconds, so my competitive self is still mad haha. This room is motel-themed, and when we walked in I literally felt like we had just walked into some trashy, creepy motel room, it was so eery and impressive. The only thing I didn't really like about the room was that all of the puzzles up until the last one were logic based and fit in with a riddle or something like that, but the last thing we had to do was not like that, it didn't really have the same consistency which is why I think we struggled with it, but hey still had a ton of fun and would come back again! read more

A group of us were visiting the area for a concert and decided to do this together to do something instead of staying in our Airbnb all night. This was an awesome time and our staff member who helped us through our event time was Victoria. She was extremely helpful and friendly and made our experience so much fun! We highly recommend! read more

This was my first escape room. We were a group of four people and selected the island room (all I'll say!). I was not familiar with how to address the various puzzles and clues throughout the room but other members of my party were good at guiding the process. It was a really cool opportunity to think and be creative, kind of like logic puzzles back in school. We managed to escape just in time, and it was a great feeling! Throughout the game, our gamemaster was on hand with hints, help and advice. They were very helpful and definitely helped to make it a more comfortable experience. Overall a really good experience and I would definitely recommend this business and this type of experience read more

Breakout Games - We made it! Wow - Escape Games Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

SKYGOD WAS GREAT!! so helpful and super nice. we did the kidnapping room, but didn't make it out lol, skygod was able to explain everything at the end tho. read more

We did the casino escape room. This might be the hardest escape room I've ever done. It was simply a sensory overload with at least 15 puzzles to solve. The room was also pretty small for a max 7-player game. The storyline was solid, but I think they made it overly complex. Since a lot of the puzzles had to be solved in sequence, I think it would be better suited for four people in this space. We had to receive four clues just to continue the game. We were told afterward that no one has escaped the room without getting any hints. We had a good time here. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would come back and try another room, but probably wouldn't recommend the casino one. read more

Wow, what an experience! Tried out the Casino Royal escape room and it was tough. Missed out on escaping by 30 seconds. This was the hardest escape room I've ever done. It easily had 20 puzzles to solve and lots of complexity. I also appreciated the reasonable pricing. Other places in town start at $30-35 plus tax, but Breakout Games starts at $30 and goes down as you add people. One issue we did have was a lockbox that opened really hard so we ended up wasting ten minutes until the host told us to try it again. After saying that everything would turn easily in the intro, that was a bit frustrating. I'll be back again to try out some of the other rooms! read more

First escape room experience and it was absolutely awesome! We chose the Mystery Mansion room, which was just challenging enough to be fun without being frustrating for our group of four. Our guide, Connor, was great! Super helpful, friendly, and fun. Overall was had a blast and would come back to do every other room! read more

Unimpressed. Maybe it was because I had been to a few in Florida, but this just wasn't that great. My biggest disappointment is that the one we did was only one room. After you do a few with multiple rooms to explore, one room is very meh. Plus, multiple rooms give players a chance to move around and solve different puzzles. Here, there were too many times that the three of us were trying to work on the same thing (and that's actually annoying bc each person processes differently. I couldn't imagine being in there with six people! In comparison to others I've done, this was smaller with far fewer things to solve (albeit tough), and yet cost more: about $135 for 3 people. I will not being going back to this chain of escape rooms. I guess I've been spoiled? read more

We did the kidnapped room, it was definitely hard but our host Nick was great! He knew when and how to say stuff without making it too easy, just to make our brain wheels turn. We will definitely be back to do other rooms in the future. They are a little more pricey but it's worth it to be guaranteed for a private room. Tons of fun ! Thank you! This was our 9th escape room total, and we had one person doing their first room with us read more

This was a lot of fun! We did the Kidnapping - you are blindfolded and handcuffed to start. It wasn't scary though. Very fun! read more

We have been here on two separate occasions. The first time was several years ago and I believe the theme was Sherlock Holmes. The most recent time the theme was "Do Not Disturb" room. There was a group of 6 girls who played, while 7 guys did another room, making it a competition to see who could get out first. We were about 45 minutes into the game when we heard cheering next door - turns out they beat us! However, we were informed when beginning the game that we were taking on the hardest room. We did not end up escaping but were about two steps away from it. The game master was very patient with us and only provided clues when we asked. He did a great job at explaining the game prior to us beginning it, making it feel like a real situation. This place is fairly close to our home so I have no doubt we will be back to play another room in the future. Nice employees, creative designs, and memorable pictures at the end! read more

Our group has done a few different escape rooms in Pittsburgh as well as in other cities. Decided to try Breakout Games for a family group, doing the Mystery Mansion room. We had a really fun experience! Our host, Matt, was wonderful -- relaxed, funny, and had a great ability to drop some guidance on us without "solving" the problems for us. We had a child with us, and the room worked well for our mixed-ages group. There were a lot of tactile and interactive items that made it especially fun for her, while still remaining challenging for the adults. Thought the room had a great combination of larger items to manipulate and handle (furniture, etc) as well as smaller clue items. Really liked the included white board and the crate for items once we were done with them...it really helped to keep things organized. We would definitely return to Breakout Games in the future! read more

Just a fun time for a group activity. Probably best for a party of 4. It's challenging but still very fun as you try to beat the clock.

Ok... so we didn't break out.... but we had a blast!! We went on a double date night with some friends on a Monday evening. Once we arrived, our Game Master, Spencer, promptly explained the general gist of the 'Do Not Disturb' room and explained that he would be watching and listening to assist us if needed. He was super helpful, even though we probably needed two+ hours to break out! Haha. What I love about this company over the others is that when you book, you're booking a private room. The more people you have, the cheaper it is. But you're not sharing a space with people you don't know, unlike many of the other 'escape rooms' we have researched. Four people with masters degrees got about halfway- we were overthinking a lot, instead of just having common sense on a number of things. We needed a kid with common sense in there with us haha! But don't let that stop you - we had a ton of fun trying to figure out the riddles, break open the locks, and put the puzzle pieces together. At the end, we were presented with stickers & took a free group photo to memorialize our time. They took the time to ask us if we enjoyed the experience even though we didn't make it out; and honestly we really did. A big thanks to Spencer for walking us through our first experience! I am not sure what I expected, but this was way different and more awesome than I could have imagined! I will DEFINITELY be back to try out another room! And maybe, just maybe, we'll BREAKOUT next time! read more

First time I experienced an Escape Room. it was hard, but our group had a great time trying to solve the clues in the Mystery Mansion. Noah was a great host and was helpful. We learned a lot and my friends and I are looking forward to trying one of the other rooms read more

Great 1st escape room experience! Our guide Nick was super friendly and helpful. We did the Hostage escape, and we started off blind folded and handcuffed. My group of friends had a lot of fun strategizing and putting the pieces together to escape. We did it in 47 minutes. I would definitely go back and try another room. read more

Amazing! We did the Mystery Mansion escape room and we had lots of fun! It's best if you do three-four players for this one. Would recommend!! read more

This place was recommended to me by a friend so a group of us organized a trip here on a Saturday afternoon. We ended up trying to break out of the kidnapping room and were very unsuccessful and 3 people from our group never made it out alive (just kidding). The buildup to the start of the challenge is very cool and sets the tone for the event. Our group started out very slow gathering clues and figuring out what needs done. The games have a certain pattern to them and once we were able to figure that out (with some helpful nudges from our guide) we started putting together clues and solving small riddles. What I love about this place: it's a great team building exercise, the event is entertaining and engaging for a wide variety of ages, the guide is there to help you along so that you are never stuck for too long, and the prices is very reasonable for individuals or groups. What I was not impressed with: some of the clues were a little cheesy and maybe a bit backwards. Overall this place is a great value. I will for sure be back here to play another breakout game. Our group had a lot of fun playing breakout games and I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes puzzles! read more

My 12 year old and his friends had a very good time at Breakout North Hills. They had a lot of fun and Jacob was a great host for their "Do not Disturb" adventure. Very good escape room and workers. Thanks for a great time! read more

Went back for a second time and did a different room this time. There were 4 of us and did the casino room. Lots of fun and Ben was a great guide. Friends all agree we'll be back and try all the rooms! Definitely recommend, great staff and a lot of fun. read more

Took my son and his friends for his 16th. They had so much fun! They didn't complete the challenge but I got them another try and they are eager to try again. read more

We didn't BREAKOUT! So what does that mean?? It means I'll be back and not just because I love a challenge...the Breakout Room is really top notch. Friends of mine were visiting out of town so we were looking for a different activity beyond the usual drinks and dinner. Found a Groupon for the Breakout room, though their normal pricing is reasonable. We chose the Museum Heist. When we arrived we were greeted with a warm welcome. There is some paperwork to fill out that you can do prior (which we did) and it speeds up the process. We were given the details of what to expect...none of us had ever done an escape the room challenge before. Everything was explained very thoroughly and we were assured if we were stuck, help is available. There is a monitor of the room via camera so they will "gently" guide you. Thank god we had Artie to do that! He was awesome and helped us with our clues without giving the answer. It was tough, but so fun! We had four in our group. I think we could have used two more brains to help us out, but a few more may have been too many Crooks in the Heist! Six to eight in my mind would be a perfect number. The clues are really well-thought. This is not easy folks, but the challenge is awesome. If you're looking for a great night of fun, check out the Breakout Room. Next time we'll get out! Hopefully... read more

What a fun way to spend a day! We did the Haunted Mansion & had a lot of fun trying to get out. We will definitely be trying more of the escape rooms. Can not wait to go back read more

Breakout is always a fun time for our family! Great staff, very helpful. Can't wait to go back.

Has a great time. It wasn't our first time at Breakout, but was our first time at Breakout Pittsburgh. We did Operation Casino - it was fun, solid theme, and had a good level of challenge. Breakout is a good place to go if you're looking for an exciting and challenging escape room, but not necessarily physically intimidating or stressful. One of our group has difficulty standing for long periods of time, but Breakout added a chair upon request and she was able to safely and comfortably be involved in the entire experience. Shout out to Mike who was an excellent guide. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. read more

A great experience! I have done 3 rooms here and all have been super fun. Challenging but not frustratingly so. Joe was an excellent game master! read more

What a great time! Our group did the Island Escape session and it was so much fun. None of us ever did an escape room before, so this was so new to us and now we are hooked! We'll definitely be back! Matt was awesome and was very helpful! read more

My family and I did the Do Not Disturb game at Breakout North Hills. It was really fun! The game masters at Breakout are really enthusiastic and add to the excitement. The game itself was interesting, challenging, and logically set up. It had many interesting and different puzzles -- you had to use several senses to problem-solve. No spoilers, but I know that you will enjoy this game! read more

Just did the escape room for the first time. The kidnapping was an awesome room, if you're looking for that creepy room that keeps you on edge the whole hour. Our game master was Nick and he was super helpful and very outgoing. We will definitely be back for more and can't wait to see what rooms will come in the future. read more

We had so much fun. I went and did the Hostage room with my husband, dad, and mom. Would definitely recommend to others and would definitely come back again to try another room. We had a great game master who helped us when we needed a push in the right direction, without giving too much away (sometimes even just to say "you're overthinking it", haha). We were fairly nervous going in, having never done any escape rooms before, but we were amazed how each of us ended up fulfilling some role in figuring out the puzzles and the staff made us feel at ease. To our own surprise, we ended up escaping with :39 seconds on the clock. Couldn't believe it. It was well put together and the staff were great. Glad that they have a wide range of open hours to accommodate a variety of schedules. My husband and I will definitely be back to try this again sometime! read more

We went to celebrate our grandsons birthday. We did the Island room it was awesome. We made it out in time. The kids love the challenges and working together. They do a great job on the challenges. Really make you think. read more

Me boyfriend and I took his 11 year old son and the three of us had a blast. That was our first escape room and none of us can wait to go back. The staff was super helpful with giving clues. And they gave "clues". They didn't just tell us exactly what to do which make us feel better about asking. We really enjoyed getting the free photo at the end too. We are already planning our next escape. If only it weren't so expensive read more

Today was our second time at Breakout Games. We have attended many escape rooms and this place is by far our favorite. It's got high end elements and it's actually hard to solve. This room was brand new and so cool! Our teenagers were fully engaged and off thier phones and our 8 year old was able to contribute too! The place is clean and professional. The personalble and outgoing staff made it exciting for our entire group. I would recommend this for families, first dates, and groups. We will definitely be returning! A+ read more

This place is so fun! We've done 4 of the 6 rooms and plan to come back to finish the rest! Dominic, Spencer, Mike and Owen were all wonderful! Very helpful and ran the games well. Highly recommend! read more

This was a great time, highly recommend! We did the Museum Heist and it was really complex and interesting. We had a group for a bachelor party (mostly first timers) and the clues/puzzles were really unique. Our Game Master was fun to work with and made it all around enjoyable read more

My family and I did the Museum Heist for my brothers' birthday and it was VERY fun. It was me (23 y/o), my sister (21 y/o), my mom and my brother (14 y/o). It was really challenging and we broke out with 2 minutes left. The staff was very help, kind and talkative. This is definitely a really fun activity that's different than your run of the mill experiences. Loved it and would recommend! read more
