Reviews by escape room review sites

Prison Break was Knockout's easiest game and their best-decorated. A prison setting often means cramped cells, usually with a split team start, but they've instead used a much larger space here, which combines prison bars with a more open layout. They're again aiming for theming rather than realistic immersion, with plenty of bits and pieces that would have no business being in a genuine cell, but the decor makes it easy to suspend disbelief.

As with the other two Knockout games we played, Pris...

The area this room stood out on was not the puzzles, but the set design. They did a good job of avoiding the readily done β€˜split-start’ system and have made a truly enjoyable game.
