REA Reaction
Headcase was an adventure from the moment we walked into the briefing area. While Breaking Point Escape Rooms used the same set and some of the props from Patient 17 (a prequel to this game), Headcase had entirely new story and puzzles.
The high production cinematics enabled clever narrative delivery, and helped the story and puzzles work together for a fully immersive experience. Breaking Point really leaned into their design strengths, especially by showcasing amazing videography both before and during gameplay. These videos made the escape game feel like a movie; our adventure picked up right where the video left off.
Following along with the story allowed us to interact with the space in unique ways and helped us solve puzzles. The puzzles consisted of multi-layered solves with sound logic that were both approachable and fun. Multiple gameplay moments required most of the team to help out, enabling many stellar communication challenges. These puzzles all solved cleanly, and all of the inputs mapped well to their respective pieces.

Headcase put a fun and inventive twist on the typical asylum trope. If you're around Rancho Cucamonga, definitely check out both Headcase and The Secret at Whitmore Estate for some spooky (but not creepy) experiences!
