Break In: A Breakthrough in Board Games

Magazine

PlayMonster’s unique game series is poised for success as consumers seek out collaborative activities they can enjoy at home.

The only successful escape from Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary was made during the night of June 11, 1962. Three prisoners carried out an intricate plan and were never seen again. No one has figured out how they did it, but PlayMonster has a theory. Perhaps there was an outside man?

Break In: Alcatraz is an immersive, collaborative board-game experience that makes players the “outside man.”

Their mission is to get inside to free their man.

To get started, they lift off the lid of the game box, but they don’t open the rest of it. Working together as a team, they read the instructions and move from clue to clue. Each clue that’s solved opens another layer of the box.

Along the way, players do amazing things and encounter wonderful sites and interesting characters. Solving the final puzzle leads to the big escape.

It’s unique in the board-game category because it brings the popular escape room concept to the comfort and safety of home. There’s no timer – players can enjoy the game at their own pace (although the suggested limit is two hours). Break In can be played in multiple sittings during the holidays or on a weekend getaway.

The rich storyline presents an interesting challenge for adult players.

It allows them to peel back the layers and immerse themselves in a one-of-akind setting. It’s one-time game play, so Break In: Alcatraz can be repackaged and passed along to a new team of players.

Outta This World Expansion

Building on Break In: Alcatraz, PlayMonster launched Break In: Area 51 in January. Players of this version are an alien breaking into the highly classified Air Force facility to retrieve a captured ship that is being dismantled.

Toy engineer David Yakos, along with husband-and-wife game designers Nick Cravotta and Rebecca Bleau, collaborated on the game series. Yakos wanted to recreate the escape room concept for home use, but how could someone escape from a small game-board box? Then a light bulb went on. Players could break into the box.

For Break in, Yakos constructed a three-dimensional layered-escape concept box and shared it with Cravotta and Bleau. It inspired them to craft the story using Alcatraz as the backdrop. DC Comics artist Steve Downer, who has worked on Superman and Wonder Woman, created the intricate art and details.
