Project Fallout - A sobering Experience
Riding the high from the Mr. Oswald room, we came back for second serving the very next day. I have to say that this was becoming a very expensive hobby but it was almost as if we were addicted to it. We wanted to play The Westwood Murder but the staff told us that they will not allow 2 people to play as it will be impossible to solve the murder. So, we agreed to try the Project Fallout which was the newest room there.
The back story given was a tad bit confusing but here it goes. We are a duo of scientist who were abducted (again.... for some reason, I keep paying money to be abducted over and over again :) ). We were being interrogated by some governmental authority for our alleged involvement in the creation of a weapon of mass destruction.
Following to the trend as most of the rooms here, we were handcuffed. They surely love handcuffing people at Breakout. Perhaps, the bosses have a thing for handcuffs... Anyways, we were cuffed to a system of poles and we were placed in different booths. We had to find a way to work together to move the poles and unlock ourselves. The clues were around us and we had to look around and find the answer. So, for those of y'all who are short sighted... Please bring your glasses.
Upon releasing our self from the handcuffs, we had to solve a few puzzles and I have to admit that by Breakout's standard it was rather easy. One of the answer was blatantly written on the board. All you had to do was just read the board. We couldn't believe our eyes as we didn't expect that sort of ease.
In their defense, this was the easiest room there anyways. Despite the ease, they manage to give the room the needed boost for the final part. Upon reaching the final stage, we were given the option of an alternate ending. The path to the final puzzle was fun and tiring as it required some serious physical exertion. At the end, we choose the ending which we feel that everyone will take as the other option didn't make any sense.
We opened the final door with 25 minutes to spare and we felt as if the room didn't do justice to a franchise which we did look up to. We thought that they were the trail blazers and we expected more. My review probably will be different if this was the first room we played as our expectation couldn't be any higher. But as what people say....Hind sight is always 20/20. Anyways.. please click here or scroll for the score card.

Overall
I have to emphasize that the room scored rather poorly due to our sky high expectation and the RM 50 per pax price tag. But if you are a novice looking for an introduction into the crazy world of escape game and you have some spare change... This may be the room for you. Nevertheless.. we shall be back for Westwood Murder....
