Water White, more commonly known as the “Night Stalker” is one of America’s most infamous serial killers. He was reported dead last year, but there is talk among the other prisoners of mysterious circumstances. An unexplained machine was found in the Night Stalker’s cell, and the prisoner who discovered it is now missing. As you enter the room, you realise you are trapped in Water White’s cell – it’s silent, cold and claustrophobic. Instantly you feel the urge to get out as soon as possible…

Overall a decent game but it's getting a bit tired and could do with refreshing or retiring.
The space is absolutely HUGE which makes a real change from most places. We had an issue with a broken switch at the beginning but the GM sorted that pretty quickly once he realised what was wrong.
Despite the advertising, this room is not at all scary and there isn't really much of a story aside from the fact you need to escape from a pair of prison cells. That doesn't detract but it does make this room less memorable.
Great laser quest!

As a rule I enjoy rooms for large teams less. Even with experienced players, it's difficult to co-ordinate effectively, and you end up spending too much time re-checking things that others have already looked at, or with some players less involved.
Penitentiary is only of one two exceptions to that. The puzzles kept all seven of us busy, splitting across multiple people well - and there was one section in particular that needs four people at the very least. That section was also a stand-out mom...
