You're in the prison cell previously occupied by Terrence Swift at HMP Standfast. Terrence had planned his escape but the night before his attempt he was moved to another facility. His master plan for escape is ready for you to execute, you just need to work out what he had planned and break out within 60 minutes!

P-p-p-prisonnnnn
If you’re reading this, you’ve probably done at
least three prison-themed games. It’s inevitable at this stage. An escape-loving
friend organised this one last minute and so would have likely chosen otherwise
if he could, but here we are.
Story
Break out of prison…
Puzzles
Nothing out of the ordinary in a prison break. Some
searching, some number-crunching, some computing, some practical tasks.
Mise-en-scene
The cell had an expectedly dingy feel to it; the
surroundings/props made it immersive enough.
Final Comments
The two of us got out with around 10 minutes to
spare.

value for money
Really enjoyed Escape Lives take on a classic prison game. Although a word of warning, we'd seem some of this "typical prison" puzzles in other prison games and quickly advanced through this game because of this.
One of the downsides of Escape Live is that you're expected use the same puzzle again and again in different ways. Gets boring quickly.

Our first trip to Escape Live was very enjoyable. The room has a great design, and really looks like a realistic prison cell. The story is quite linear so not too demanding or difficult, but the variety of puzzles to solve gave us a good time. The only thing that let this experience down was the fact that when we were stuck on a particular puzzle (for no more than a minute), the GM just outright gave us the answer! - which everybody knows is a big no-no, and she seemed generally just disinterested in us. Despite this would still recommend this room.

This is a good intro-level game which we used as a first ER experience for my teenage godsons. There was plenty to do, with a range of ‘thinking’ and ‘doing’ tasks. We got out, and the boys were hooked from their first game!
