Mr. Oswald's Greatest Show - Creepy Marionette Challenge
We were so mesmerized by the Hocus room that we really wanted to come back as soon as we can. However, we wanted to pace ourselves as Breakout only has 5 rooms. Anyways, long story short.. We couldn't wait any longer and we made booking for the Mr. Oswald's Greatest Show.
The staffs there recognized us and they were rather friendly. We spoke to one of the owner and he told us that he actually wanted to issue real tickets for this room; as if one is actually buying tickets to watch a show. And he also wanted to place a staff dressed for the occasion as the gate keeper at the room. But, they had some reservation in the execution and they scrapped it. It's a shame though as we felt that the idea was very novel and creative.
As for this room's story, we were apparently abducted by Mr.Oswald and we had 60 minutes to breakout. If we don't he will turn us into a marionette. We were brought into the room and handcuffed onto a chain which was connected through a cage. The setting for this room was mind blowing. The team had really thought things through as they created a scene as if a whole set of puppets were watching us perform. Although the audience were made of a set of puppets, the music and the puppets reflected an extremely eerie feeling.
We had to solve a few puzzles while still shackled to the cage. We had to find a set of clues using a system of pulley and line. The entire experience was really cool and one had to experience to actually appreciate it. On one of the puzzle we had to dance to the tune that was given in the music on the background. Upon opening the first door we went to second door and finally got those dreadful handcuffs off. The second was a lot different to the first room but it was equally exciting. They room had a lot of puppet body parts strewn around and the Professor kept emphasizing that the room was very very weird.
As expected, the room had a final twist that we didn't see coming. I will not spoil the experience for y'all by giving any spoiler away. Since it was just the 2 of us, the final leg was very hard. Nevertheless, we managed to break out with 18 minutes to spare. We had a huge grin as we felt extremely satisfied as this room tested us physically and mentally. Lo Behold the scorecard!
