As you’re inducted into prison life, you’ll confess your crimes and be processed into the prison – ‘you no longer have a name just a number.’

From here, you’ll receive your standard issue orange jumpsuits and be escorted to the main wing before being placed into your prison cell.

Now the game begins! You have to escape your cell and figure out how to get off the landing in a bid to prove your innocence.

Work alone or in collaboration to devise a way to escape from the prison wing ready for the greatest challenge of all. Earn your way to freedom and the right to exit the imposing prison gates to the outside world!

Experience two and a half hours of adrenaline-pumping fun. The prison is real, the cells are real, the officers are real, the race is on and the clock is ticking.

More of a treasure hunt or immersive experience than a true escape room. There is one element of a traditional escape room here where you solve a basic puzzle to get the code for a lock, otherwise you are solving crosswords,  cyphers, anagrams and the sort, and rewarded with information and/or a stamp for doing so. The real life prison setting and live actors were fun for the first half but the fairly basic puzzles and the arrangement of the experience (you solve and hunt in many shared spaces used by visitors to the prison) means this is not the best game for escape room enthusiasts.
