It’s 12 months since you successfully escaped The Rock and things have taken a turn for the worst. You become good friends with Bill and Terry - former inmates. Unfortunately they haven’t learned their lesson and pretty soon revert to what they know - armed robbery. They enlist you to help them, apparently the smart one of the outfit. But one day you're about to pull off a big heist when things go wrong, bad planning, you're outnumbered and the cops are called.
Once again you find yourself in the most secure prison in the US. Only this time it’s your fault. Following your previous escape, the prison security has been upgraded, but this does not deter you. Very quickly you and your friends start plotting another escape from The Rock.

illogical

I'm putting in the same review for this room and for The Vault, as we did them as the double room, Audacious.

We were incredibly disappointed by these rooms. The puzzles were illogical, some requiring logic leaps with no clues. There were red herrings that seemed to only exist for the GM's amusement, and the whole experience felt like the rooms had been made to make the GM feel smart, rather than to provide enjoyment for the team.

Theming: 6/10

immersivequite difficult

Played as part of Audacious (back to back room with the Vault). Based on Alcatraz. Theming is strong. Nice mix of search and find and core puzzles. We had some minor tech issues that led us to solving puzzles in unintended ways - this kind of broke the flow of a linear room. One or two puzzles were a little unclear and a bit of a logic leap. The clue system is ok but largely involved just telling us what to do!

Reviews by escape room review sites

At Don’t Get Locked In, I found the hosts friendly and enthusiastic, the venue nicely presented with a little bar and lounge area - and the games quite disappointing, at least the two that I tried. I actually played their double-header experience Audacious, which consists of the games Return To The Rock and The Vault combined to make a two hour experience. The two games’ stories are stitched together: you’re escaping from Alcatraz for a second time, and also robbing a vault on your way out. Alth...
