This is a good intro-level game which we used as a first ER experience for my teenage godsons.  There was plenty to do, with a range of ‘thinking’ and ‘doing’ tasks.  We got out, and the boys were hooked from their first game!

great hostingplain

We still don't understand why there was a cup full of slime... anyway...

Typical "Prison" game - Generic puzzles. Great time waster if you need something to do.

P-p-p-prisonnnnn

If you’re reading this, you’ve probably done at least three prison-themed games. It’s inevitable at this stage. An escape-loving friend organised this one last minute and so would have likely chosen otherwise if he could, but here we are.

Story

Break out of prison…

Puzzles

Nothing out of the ordinary in a prison break. Some searching, some number-crunching, some computing, some practical tasks.

Mise-en-scene

The cell had an expectedly dingy feel to it; the surroundings/props made it immersive enough.

Final Comments

The two of us got out with around 10 minutes to spare.
