Mission: Breakout is the frontier of escape rooms in Camden, London. Situated in a old tube station, it was then closed down back in 1924 due to low passenger numbers. Since then, it has multiple uses and a history behind it, all the way from World War 1 through to today, a modern escape room! 

Can you escape from a disused tube station? Perfect for family, friends and colleagues, Mission: Breakout host 3 unique experiences that will test your wits and skills in a number of ways. With an immersive location and theme, it certainty one of the more interesting locations in the escape room world. 

Storyline & Theming: 9/10

Underground 2099 had a very interesting theme as it takes you into the future whilst keeping you in a very realistic setting. With a mutant rat in control and on the loose, we were unsure what to expect. Before the experience, we were equipped with a power backpack which we were going to need to install power to certain stations during our journey underground.

Starting off in a time travelling device and then travelling through this multi room experience into the dark corners of a spooky ghost station, it kept us on edge for a while. We loved the theme throughout and it matched the storyline of King Rat. We were even more surprised with how much King Rat played a part to the story! Combining this with the natural aesthetic and futuristic puzzles, it was strangely worked. 

Uniqueness: 9/10

Mission: Breakout is very unique as what other escape room are you going to find that is hosted in an old disused tube station? None! With the creepy background and heritage, with the theme of the game (and sure with the other games too), it just seems to be a recipe for a winner of an immersive escape room experience. If you add in some of the puzzles and how Underground 2099 is actually played out, it really makes an interesting escape room which is different from the rest. 

Overall, Mission: Breakout have created a powerful immersive experience with a realistic theme, setting and genuine heritage. All combining to create a 60 minute adventure which takes you on a journey requiring skill and holding your nerve whilst having fun too. 

We managed to defeat King Rat and escape in 53 minutes. We were advised it is a hard challenge as a team of 2 and for this room, being one of their toughest yet! We recommend you check out Underground 2099 if you fancy a unique challenge and to see the what a ghost tube station looks like with Mission: Breakout in the heart of Camden!
