Review on Break In™ Alcatraz By PlayMonster - Unlock The Mystery Of America'S Most Infamous Prison by David Mills

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Fantastic presentation - Poor Execution

So, when all is said and done, this was a beautiful game; however, it was full of problems. These ranged from (A) The instructions were confusing. I had difficulty a few times figuring out what I was supposed to do (the glue puzzle is a great example) or which piece of the gameboard I was actually working with (B) Some puzzles had more than one solution and (C) there was one answer where there was actually a misprint on the card (I've read online it was later corrected). I've played probably 50 escape room box games - this was in my bottom 3.

Pros
  • Perfect for groups looking for a thrilling challenge
Cons
  • May require too much concentration for casual gamers
