#TrappedForever: Breakout Manila's Room 13

Picture this: 

You and your friends check in at an old motel after experiencing car troubles in the middle of nowhere and cannot call for help. But this place is giving you the creeps. Something does not feel right. Your group tries to leave the room but the door knob falls off - - and for some reason, you feel like it wasn't an accident. You try to force your way out but to no luck. You are trapped inside. 

Can you find a different way out or will your friends be trapped forever?

This is Breakout Manila's Room 13 and me and my siblings were given a chance to play this last March. It actually reminds me of the movie Identity in 2003. It is one of my favorite psychology movie because of the twist and suspense story it has.The actors acting was also superb and the ending was truly surprising. I can watch it over and over again. So when I had to choose which room to try in Breakout Manila, I knew we had to try Room 13 out. 

We failed to escape the room and was #TrappedForever, but we were almost there, just missed out on the last puzzle that could have brought us out of the room!

If you feel like trying the room here are some tips you might want to avoid:

1. Don't panic. The room and the ambiance makes you feel like it is a reality but remember it's just a game. My sister and I were stunned at first when the blindfolds were taken out, we could not move and we wasted about a minute jut staring at the room.

2. Don't give up the search. Clues are hidden, and they are hidden well. So to start solving the puzzles you have to find them first. 

3. Don't over think. "Wag mag-analyze masyado, baka maparalyze". Which was something that happened to us, we thought it was that complicated which wasted a lot of our time. 

4. Everything is possible. If you think it can be done then it probably can be done. 

5. Don't think you can get out that easily. The room is full of more rooms so don't think that when you open a door is that it's the end of the puzzle because it is not unless you don't see the outside world. That was our mistake because we thought we already finished  but we did not or notice that there was another room. 

So please avoid all these and you might be able to PLAN. SOLVE. ESCAPE Room 13!:)

Breakout Manila:The Zombie Room Experience

If you are a movie buff or a zombie apocalypse fanatic then you probably have watch World War Z, Zombieland, and I Am Legend among many other movies in that genre. But do you know what I have in common with Brad Pitt, Will Smith and other stars starring in those movies? You guessed it, encounter with Zombies. Yes you read that right? I have experienced real life zombies and to make matters worst, they have arrived here in the country... Trinoma to be exact!!!

Okay, before you panic and bring out your zombie-apocalypse-lifesaver-bags, hear me out first.

Breakout Manila brings to Trinoma their new mystery attraction The Zombie Room.

How does it work?
You are given 30 minutes inside a room with a Zombie, and you either escape the room or be eaten alive.

Fear not, because everything that you might need to survive your ordeal with the zombie is inside the room. To make the game thrilling you need to solve how to escape thru clues and materials available for you.

Before you enter the room, (that is if you have collected all the courage to enter it) you will be oriented by accommodating staff of Breakout Manila. Listen to their instructions so you would know what to initially. You would also be asked to sign a waiver, so I suggest read it well.

After that you'll spend an entire 30 minutes to escape the room or be bait to a deprived zombie. Here are some tips you might want to bring with you on your ordeal:

1. Calm your heart and mind. Your mind can play tricks on you so make sure you bring a steady heart and especially mind. People have escaped the room, it just depends if you CAN too.

2. Work as a group. Maximum number of people is 8 which can work either way. It can be an asset, more people more minds to think. But it can also be a liability, more people, more ideas different from each other.

3. Abandon everything you know about Zombies in the movies. Do not assume that the weaknesses of the zombies in the movies are the same in the breakout room. Get real and work within the escape room.

4. Whatever you do, DO NOT hurt the zombie. Don't even try. It's one of the rules of Breakout Manila so if fear comes to you never settle for a fist fight with the zombie.

5. Enjoy! It's the closest thing you can get to a zombie!:)

Then if you have the guts to be in one place with a zombie or you'd like o test your skills in zombie-escaping, head on to Trinoma and try Breakout Manila's The Zombie Room till March 22. Entrance is at Php300. You may book online at www.breakout.com.ph

PS. Thanks Adrian Benipayo for the experience!:)
