In the heart of a WWII POW camp, a daring adventure unfolds. Amidst the barbed wire and vigilant guards, freedom lies just beyond your grasp. With time slipping away and each moment vital, you must outmaneuver the guards and navigate the maze of tunnels being dug beneath the compound. How many can you liberate in time?

The destiny of your comrades rests squarely on your shoulders. Will you guide them to triumph, or will the guards shatter your hopes of freedom? The stakes are high - have you got what it takes?

Lots of varied rooms, very faithful to the movie, just showing it's age, needs some TLC and a few puzzles that require a clue to be solved need to be fixed

A thoroughly enjoyable take on a WWII POW camp escape game. Some really original puzzles that are perfectly themed for the storyline. An honourable mention to the ID cards at the end - an especially lovely gesture. Very nice to play a longer game in the UK.

Be warned, there is lots of crawling and it is not padded.

great hostingbroken tech

This was a big game which you’ll need all the time for and you definitely need to play it as a larger group. You can see a lot of effort has gone into the design but it does feel a little rough round the edges. Without giving anything away some things that are meant to move fall off rails, things that slide aren’t smooth and require force you wouldn’t usually give in a game. It’s fun, but could do with a little finesse around the edges. Staff are really lovely though!

This has potential to be an absolutely amazing room- so many of the puzzles are great, and the style/design of the room is thematically brilliant. The tech did let us down unfortunately, and multiple things went wrong, but we were offered a free game because of this!

I would definitely recommend if you're in Cardiff - the staff are absolutely lovely, and with tech issues sorted, the room would have been brilliant.
