Just no. Abysmal.
After playing a few of the of their other rooms, we thought we'd give prison break a try.
Honestly it was probably one of the worst games we've ever played, and we escaped within 20 minutes with three of us. At the time of playing this game we hadn't really played many other escape rooms so we weren't really experts or experienced, or it just felt like there wasn't enough to do in the room for barely a team of three.
Terrible game. Bog standard puzzles, the 3 of us (At the time fairly new to escape rooms) got out in 20 minutes. We picked this one as it was marketed as a 4 out of 5 * room....Having played the other 4* rooms we were fine with that...We felt robbed

This is much more of a 'normal' room than the two others we did with this company, both in terms of difficulty level and style.
It's a relatively small escape room, and both our teams finished it quickly, so experienced teams may find it on the easy side. But it was a fun one to do, and a pleasant change after the frankly rather stressful Secret Lab room!
Poor clue system when the GM comes in and asks where you need the help. No paper given despite it being useful for some of the puzzle. Dark for dark's sake.
