We did the Clue board game themed escape room and it did not disappoint!!! Our group was my wife and I, and our two kids ages 8 and 9. We are very much fans of the board game and have played quite a bit. This escape room absolutely plays in to the nostalgia of the game! The interactive elements and sort of animated/light effect elements were amazing! Our hostess, Grace I believe was her name (sorry if I got it wrong!), was so much fun and excellent at explaining the ins and outs of the experience. Our kids were nervous about the “unknown” and Grace was amazing to answer all their questions in detail and gave them the confidence to handle the experience. Also if any of the rooms have “jump scare” or sudden startle potential you can ask your host to provide warning when it’s coming. Grace did this for us and was very helpful. Honestly there is nothing at all meant to be startling per se- just when certain panels and doors open when you succeed at a clue it can catch you off guard - but I think this adds to the thrill! Escape rooms aren’t the cheapest family outing by any means, but here the quality was definitely there and the fact that they acquired the licensing from Hasbro making it authentic to the game made it worth every penny!! Highly recommend Breakout Games in Plano! Such a great core memory this morning with the...

Breakout Games in Plano is on the second floor of a strip mall; we used the stairs and didn't see an elevator so call ahead if you're not able to take the stairs to determine accessibility options. Our gamemaster was Max and he was excellent, giving us just enough guidance (upon request) whenever we got stuck. Max even gave us an "after action review" once we escaped, telling us how we could have done even better than we did. "Clue" is based on the board game of the same name with an important variation which you'll learn when you experience this escape room. In addition to challenging and unique puzzles and excellent props and decor, the game had some really funny narration that made the whole escape room one of our best...
Read moreRecently went here for the first time while some family members flew in from out of state. We booked the Wild West escape room and had a great time! We had a great game host who, quite frankly, helped us immensely with clues 😅. I believe her name was Hannah or something close to that name. The room itself was quite cleverly built and planned. The next time I have a group of family or friends who want to do this again, we will definitely return to Breakout Games and try one of their other rooms. I recommend anyone else visiting the DFW area, especially ones staying around Plano, to try this place out! Plenty of places to eat nearby as well.
One thing though, it is located on the second floor of that particular strip mall area. Not sure if they have an elevator nearby for those...
