Breakout Waikiki

Breakout Waikīkī is an escape room located a bit further away from the main beach and a of Waikiki beach, and down the street from those who've been to 88 Tees. It's in a bit of a random spot off the street, and really can't see it from the outside until you walk in a bit to see the entrance area, which is a small area.Staff here were friendly, and also helpful in helping us with the escape during, especially since this was a family event with a younger kid, they probably felt bad for us, and we were not doing great overall, lol. Definitely exceeded that 3 hint limit!The room we did was the Y2K one, which was certainly a fun blast from the past room. For those who were 90s kids or fondly remember the 90s, this will definitely be your jam.The room itself was wide ranging of difficulty, while I wouldn't recommend for beginners, it's certainly got a good balance between difficult puzzles and easier ones.The room is also good for kids. Nothing jumpy with it that happens with this one, though, they might miss a lot of the references. But hey, if you're bringing your kids here you can tell them all about the things in there, "Back in my day...", and remind yourself how old you are!Anyways, don't want to say too much and give anything away. Have fun with the escape at Breakout Waikiki!

We had a work teambuilding event held at breakout Waikiki. We got our reservations ahead of time because we had 10 people and had to split into two different rooms. Thankfully, there was two rooms with the same difficulty level at the same time for us to do our teambuilding together. We did the patient 57 from and we're not able to break out in time. But we were so close. It was really fun and challenging for us at least. Definitely recommend this if you have a small workgroup or even something fun to do with friends.Parking is great because they validate at the Embassy suites for four hours at a rate of eight dollars which is valet parking. But as we were getting our cars, the valet service said there's promotion for the beach walk and it's tenants where you get free valet parking from 10 to 3 so we lucked out. Not sure how long that goes for but definitely check ahead of time because it made all of our parking practically free except for the tip you gave the valet driver. There are also many restaurants and eateries that you can walk to in the area to catch a quick lunch before heading home.

My wife and I love escape rooms, and since we were in Hawaii, we figured we should do one. This place was great. Clean, friendly staff, even if she was a bit awkward, still super friendly. We did Y2K for our room, and the playlist while inside is fantastic. Great mix of music from 2000. The room itself was good as well, lots of puzzles and some of there made me stumped but one I used the hint, it was like "duh." Would recommend this place.

I am always a huge fan of escape rooms and this one was located super close to the hotel I was staying at. Initially, I only planned for one room but we had so much fun that we decided to do a second one the next day.I won't go fully into detail of what occurred in the rooms, but I will say that both had unique applications in what you had to do. The Hero was a bit easier for my group compared to Secret Sabotage. I will say that be very aware of your surroundings and just enjoy yourself. Our Game Masters were very kind and only gave us hints either when we absolutely needed it, or when we had all the pieces and just got stuck in applying which ones to where. Overall, my party had a great time and would love to do the other rooms whenever we go back here some time again.

I decided to go check out my first escape room. I got lost going across the street. I'm not sure how. So I called and Devin was great help. He even came outside to meet me. So I knew where to go. Devin was nice and friendly. I told him we never done it before and he went through everything with us. He made us feel confident and comfortable. We chose the hero room for 10pm. I'm glad it was open late. You can grab dinner and then come. Great date night option. We didn't escape the room but we had a great time trying. Next time we just have to go faster. We were knocking out the answers but not fast enough.

While on vacation in Hawaii, we stayed at the Hale Koa and my brother and his gf always like to find escape rooms. This location was walking distance from our hotel and walking distance to a lot of the shops. It was fairly easy to find. My brother made a reservation online and when we got there I think only the hardest level was available. It was pretty good for a group of 4 but unfortunately we didn't make it out. It was easy to fill out the waiver online and we got to keep our stuff in our room and didn't have to worry about lockers or anything. The staff were friendly and I don't know how easy parking is if you drive. Might be easier getting dropped off since it's in a busy area.

Our team was really messing up a ton i am really glad Marie was super helpful and patient with us

We booked this escape room since it was located in the same area as our resort (Wyndham Waikiki Beach Walk). Our group of six completed the Y2K escape room (barely). Overall we had a blast and our host, Bella, was super friendly and helpful. As I am typing this, our group is already considering doing another one before our trip ends!

Partner and I have done about 40 escape rooms and we enjoyed Breakout! My review is solely based on room quality, playability, challenge, etc for two people. Yes, we did do 4 rooms within 3 days, lol. This is what cool people do when night time partying isn't your thing!Rooms (ranked): - Y2K: Okay so this was our favorite room out of the bunch since it was 90's themed and the nuances of the 90's were everrrrrywhere. There were a lotttt of puzzles in the room and mostly lock&key type which makes it a bit more retro. But overall if you were fully conscious and lived through the 90's (and maybe enjoyed 90's music?) you'll enjoy this room! Difficulty a solid 7/10. Our team of two escaped with 3:30 minutes remaining. - ARMORY AMBUSH: Second favorite room. The puzzles are smart, great quality overall...and SOME PUZZLES SUCKKKKKED for two people... but overall the theming is consistent. I normally dont like old western themed rooms but this wasn't giving horrible headaches. Loved their use of the space and unique ways to get puzzles solved. This was definitely a bit harder for two people so it's a solid 8/10 difficulty. We got out with 0.5 seconds to spare LOL. **some parts of this room is a bit dim lighting** - PATIENT 57: Third favorite room. This room was haarrrrddddd for two people. Soo many puzzles to complete and some translating to do which is NOT fun when you're stressed out. Also wasnt a smart idea to do this room after Armory Ambush - brain was fried. There's so many technical pieces, and no-fun things to try and solve. At least it was QUITE a challenge for us two...but didnt leave us feeling all that great since it did take a beating on our psyche. Solid 8.5/10 difficulty for us. We honestly shouldnt have escaped this room, but we did! - THE HERO. Forth favorite room. This is a bit easier of a room but it's also not one I was fond of. Unique puzzles BUT they honestly didnt fit well together. Felt like a hodgepodge of things to do and I wasnt sold with the themeing. There was a room reset malfunction which wasnt a big deal. I liked the thought put into this room but I wish there was an overall better flow. 6/10 difficulty. We escaped with 8 minutes to spare. **We chose not to do Mission Manoa as several staff impressions gave us that it's not the best room and quite a challenge for two people. Secret Sabotage was also not played b/c it was probably too easy for us**I have to say, their room quality is pretty awesome. They use their space well. Alex was our game master for Armory and Patient and he was the most enthusiastic and helpful host. Props to you, sir!Pros: - Great quality rooms in Waikiki! Great presentation and themeing. - Decent price! When you return the same day for another room they'll also give you 20% off - just ask. - Helpful staff when calling in. They always pick up their phones. - Private rooms! - Pretty easy access if you're staying local to Waikiki. - Clean bathrooms - They can accomodate your schedule if no one else is signed up for your game. Cons: - No free parking. You'll need to get validated for valet parking ($8? for 4 hours?). You can also try and find cheap spots! We played our games at night and parked in the structure attached to H&M for $2/hr. Alright this review is LONG ENOUGH. I'm done. Hope this is helpful!

Avoid this place. Big scam. We booked a spot for two children 12 and 9 years old. When we arrived at our reservation time, was told an adult had to be in the room with them and had to pay to watch them play. If I had know this I would not had signed the two kids up. Forcing an adult to pay just to be in the room is a big money grab. I would not recommend going to this place.
