Having played over 100 escape rooms, not much surprises me anymore, but FRACTURED absolutely blew me away! Owen and his team have created a game that helps players to learn and understand a story through audio, visuals, and very cleverly designed puzzles. It tugs at your emotions, and leaves you feeling like you've experienced so much more than just an escape room. Over a weekend of playing escape rooms in Melbourne, this is the one that was on everyone's lips. You absolutely MUST play it! Should be illegal not to. I would also like to thank our wonderful game master, Simon, who was charming and fun, which only added to the experience. So thank you Simon for being awesome! You guys are amazing!!! ❤❤❤
