we wanted to give our son and daughter…

we wanted to give our son and daughter in law something different for their wedding anniversay... we found your site very easy to use and were able to forward the gift experience directly to them.

we will probably use this site again for other gifts to our children and grandchildren .

Decent

Overall, it was a decent experience. The signing up and initial logging in could have been simpler. The game play was engaging. One suggestion to the programmers - there is a number of times when you have to link to a website, but the link is just typed and not a hyper-link, which would have made it much easier and faster to play.

So much fun!!!

A group of three of us played The Brotherhood, Part 1. It was so much fun! Well organized, easy to use, and a great way to spend an evening together with friends, while remaining physically distanced during COVID stay-at-home requirements. Thank you!

Not the best

We were able to book what we had wanted through the website, however, after purchasing our order we were not given any additional information. The email sent to us confirming our purchase did not explain how we could book our dates and times with the “experience” we had selected and any other necessary information. I had sent a message through Breakaway Experiences’ website requesting additional information and I had emailed a few days later. Nothing. No one contacted me for some direction. I finally called and was told I needed to log into my account and then told I had to go through a couple of steps before I would find a phone number in which I would called the company directly to set up my dates and times.

The lack of information and unnecessary steps required to book an “experience” has me convinced that I will not be recommending or using Breakaway Experience in the near future.

What a great idea!

Never heard of you until I came across you at Christmas time. I have purchased 2 experiences as a Christmas gift and a birthday gift. I plan on buying more. People are excited when they get them. What a great idea.

Save the Titanic

The overall mystery itself was clever and the clues interesting and a providing a challenge and could be a 5 star event. Reasons for giving only 3 stars are related to the initial instructions, background info and some technical glitches.
- after choosing the correct bar in the first clue, we were suddenly on the ship and did not see any information in the bar or any kind of transition to being on the ship.
- the timer did not seem to work on some phones for the timed clues
- we were "cut-off" at the end which was really frustrating. Seemed to jump to "done" and would have been good to get the results right away which didn't happen. We were playing on Zoom in different locations and the ending was a bit of a dis-appointment for everyone.

Too complicated

A little too complicated given it's 2020. I am going in circles trying to book my "experience" that is more expensive than buying it straight from the service provider. Fine, you have to make your money. However, why can't I see the availability for an experience on a calendar before I purchase an experience? Why can't I book online. Why does it require calling the service provider?

You're telling me that a digital gift requires a phone call, a number that is listed in small font on the bottom of the page, when the service provider has their own website and calendar where you can book online?

I won't use this gift certificate system until all bookings are online... Like AirBnB, Turo, and every other booking service in 2020.

Should be a Guest Checkout

Only disappointment was that I was expecting the Email to the Gift Recipient to go to the recipient in Their Time Zone. Email went out too early as it was based on ET and didn’t stipulate that.
Also, I just wanted to buy the GC, which you cannot do without “Registering”.
