Felt a little on the cheaper side compared to the other rooms we visited in the town, however it was an okay challenge, but not much progression and of course is just the one room.
We enjoyed the theatrics here though, at the start of our escaping adventure!

Very cheap room and actually very good puzzles, certainly gets the brain working and definitely not something to be overlooked. It seems very simple but we had a great time and throughly enjoyed working the puzzles out together in the dark. Definitely worth a visit especially if you're already going to see the prison

Great puzzle in the dark (until we found the torch) and included in the price was a look round the rest of the prison afterwards

great hosting
As I've said before I do love a bit of theatre prior to getting into a room and this does deliver with your Jailer (we had Officer Jess Taylor) staying in character throughout. As described, you start the game in the actual cell hooded and handcuffed but you end up playing in near total darkness with only one torch. The puzzles are mostly straightforward but it's the darkness that is the problem and we misread something that would prove to be our downfall even though we had the right answer on the very final puzzle. The Prison itself is worth a visit and we did then have a walk around (you get the option of a self guided tour included with the Escape Room) and there is a novelty value in escaping from a genuine prison cell but I wouldn't go just for the Escape Rooms/
