There is a limit to how many ways one can plausibly break out of prison. More than pretty much any of the other common escape game scenarios, it's constrained in the types of object and furniture that can plausibly be used for puzzles without looking glaringly out of place. After fifteen or so prison games, the tropes start to get pretty familiar.

A review of three of the games at Final Escape: Robot Paranoia, Prison Break and Steampunk Puppeteer. Three good games with Robot and Puppeteer having amazing set design and theatre while Prison Break had an older feel but stronger puzzles. Robot and Prison Break also had a fantastic sense of exploration.

Trapped in a prison, but we know there’s a way out. We only need to work together, so grab a spoon and let’s get digging.

Was ich aber auf jeden Fall verraten kann ist, dass man sich trotz des Zeitdrucks die Zeit nehmen sollte, die Kulisse an der einen oder anderen Stelle genauer zu betrachten, vielleicht findet man dann ein, zwei Easter Eggs mit lokalem Bezug.

Dabei wird die Story des Gefängnisausbruches sowohl durch Sound als auch durch andere Effekte unterstützt, was wirklich Spaß macht. Ein gewisser Acionanteil ist natürlich in so einem Abenteuer immer mit dabei. Das und die Interaktion mit den verschiedenen Gegebenheiten im Spiel machen das Abenteuer zu einer runden Sache.

Ohne zu viel verraten zu wollen, ist im letzten Drittel dieses Escape Rooms eine besonders strukturierte Vorgehensweise gefragt, um nicht im Wettlauf gegen die Zeit den Kopf zu verlieren. Mit verschiedenen Einflüssen wird dabei auch immer wieder Druck auf die Gruppe ausgeübt, so dass man den Zeitdruck auf der Flucht tatsächlich spürt.
