You have been wrongly incarcerated and the corrupt warden refuses to let you leave the facility.
You've been working on escaping for months and now is the time, get out of your cells and disarm the security systems. You need to be quick though, as the prison warden will be back in an hour!

Did this as a group of 4, 2 adults, a teen and a tween. All experienced players.
Overall I was underwhelmed, it was too easy. There was one puzzle where we had to really think but that was really it. One puzzle where, subjectively, I think they had an item in the wrong place but could be open to interpretation so could work it out.
I felt the room was a bit small - 2 cells and a control room.
There was supposed to be actor interaction but apparently we escaped before the point they do this part so that was a bit disappointing.
If you're new to escape rooms this could be a nice starting point, if you're very experienced I would say this isn't worth your time.
A great little escape room that is definitely value for money. Use of the space is good and there's a nice big range of puzzles. Only downside was there was no spare key for 1 lock, so when our key fell out of reach, we had to wait a while to continue playing. Overall enjoyed the experience.
An interesting twist on the usual set up. Very scary! 😉
Good start to this room, but there was some broken tech which meant that the GM ended up coming into the room twice, which broke any kind of immersion. Happy to have played for the price we paid, but better options are within a relatively short distance.
Challenging start for 2 players (one a 11yo) but we got there with a few hints.
Interesting puzzles, well themed - it lacked a bit of room design "wow" for me. But still very enjoyable.
Friendly hosts who were accommodating and some fun moments of solving puzzles but otherwise a standard prison themed escape room. Half our team did end up standing around not really doing a lot whilst waiting for the other half to complete puzzles in order to free them from an area.
Our game was ruined a little by the final puzzle being broken despite retrying it several times.
Another prison break style room that doesn’t offer anything more than the same style games within the same theme. I have definitely played better. The room had a little different angle as we also had escape the prison and get in to the officers office. At the point we really clicked with the room and we’re on for a flyer. Immersion slightly broken when the host came into the room to tell us a clue (which we hadn’t asked for).
Padlock heavy, interesting start to the game but nothing special compared to other Prison escape games. Could tell you were in an office style room converted to an escape room rather than feeling like you were in a cell.
One of my favourite prison escapes! Who am I kidding I love all Prison escapes! The original escape room theme!
Great immersion in the fact that your playing within actual prisons of the past. Other than a pretty straightforward prison break escape room. Pretty similar to any others of its type
If there had been less of us this room might have been better but there weren’t many puzzles and although we were assured it was even split of puzzles for those inside and those outside the cell, it wasn’t. Our players in the cell spent a lot of time waiting for a puzzle they could be involved in.
