Nordkapp. The building of the world’s toughest prison of a horrific reputation is proudly standing tall on a northern Norwegian cliff. Thick, titanium bars are placed in every window and three floors tall wall covered in barbed wire is surrounding the whole building. Nobody ever escaped this place. Compared to Nordkapp, even Guantanamo or Alcatraz seem to resemble cozy hotels rather than scary prisons. If you end up here, you can be certain that your freedom has already come to its end. Forever.
Right now, a special ceremony to celebrate the 100th anniversary of this terrifying institution is about to take place. Maybe this is the only chance in the history of Nordkapp to attempt to escape? The guards are already gathering on the courtyard. In 60 minutes from now on, all of them will go back to their original positions and another chapter of Nordkapp’s dark history will unfold…
After so many years spent in a cell at the very end of E block, you know it’s every inch. This knowledge might be significant when the members of your gang make an attempt to enter and set the first prisoner since 1920 free.

Reviews by escape room review sites

In complete contrast to the venue's top-billed glossy games, Prison Escape is compact and simple and almost a concept piece. One of your team is imprisoned, and the rest have to free them. This game is based around communication to an extent I've rarely seen elsewhere, and will be a rather different experience depending on whether you're the prisoner or the rescuer. If you play this, choose carefully who will be the prisoner; if communication breaks down it could be a highly frustrating game all round. I had fun playing it, but would hesitate to recommend it too strongly. It was originally made as a semi-final event for the national escape room championship, and it's best approached as an unusual challenge rather than a normal escape room experience.

    In August 2021 I played 35 escape rooms in Poland on a short trip organised by Escaperoomers.de. The itinerary was based around highly recommended games, and pretty much all of them richly deserve proper, detailed reviews; but I’m going to have to give just a quick overview guide of them ins...
