We really wanted to love this room, particularly as it is set in a genuine prison, however we left feeling really underwhelmed and a little cheated. It seemed almost like a wasted opportunity!

great hosting
This is the easier of the two rooms at this venue and (as I mention elsewhere) there is something of a novelty factor in escaping from a genuine prison cell.  We had Officer Taylor once more as our Jailer and once more she stayed wonderfully in character throughout.  You can expect more usual ER tropes with this room and its relatively straight forward (it's advertised as good for beginners) and I would mostly agree.  I had an issue with how you solve the final puzzle (we completely overthought it and were looking for a much more complicated solution) but it's hard to elaborate on without giving away the solution.  This is a good room but could do with some tweaking I think.
