What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors are consistently impressed by the high-quality acting and the immersive prison environment, making it a standout role-playing experience. While some found the gameplay a bit linear after the initial phase, the overall consensus is that it's a unique, thrilling, and highly recommended outing for groups and friends.
"Blown away by the high quality acting by all of the actors. They really make the experience. Each actor plays their role flawlessly. I recommend it just for this as an experience on its own!
With that said personally I had quite a bit more expectations for the experience.
I had found some "contraband" in the court yard (not sure if it was intentionally placed or just luck) and grabbed it quickly. Then earned a coin early from a guard. I felt rich before I even hit the cell!
I did not want to give this up easily, hoping it would come in useful later. However, outside of the starting 20-30min I had almost no other opportunity to use this to gain any sort of advantage! It felt like a bit of a missed opportunity.
The start was very interactive and fun but after that starting section it felt very "on rails" and was over fast as you was nudged from room to room.
I understand a lot of this is done to make the game accessible for everyone so I don't have a problem with it if that's the intention of the owners. But personally I thought there was a lot of potential here to allow players more freedom to find how to escape.
Overall it was a positive experience and I hope they continue to develop this concept further!"
Hello World
"I absolutely loved it, a unique role-paying experience. The story lines are cool but it's the actors who are really making it happen. I want to get locked up again next spring and experience a different story line!"
Olga Ban
"I had contact with the Prison Escape crew before and during this event and they are service minded. They answered every question and they helped with planning this for a group of 20. So good contact before, during and after the event.
The event itself was a unique experience. A lot of details and plots. I did not know what to expect but this exceeded my expectations. For our group this was a great way of teambuilding and just having a nice experience together. I totally recommend this."

The Immersive Prison Experience
The experience is enhanced by the presence of actors who play the roles of guards and other prison inhabitants. These actors are praised for their high-quality performances, making the interactions feel authentic and adding a significant layer of engagement to the game.
While the experience is designed to be accessible, some reviews suggest that the 'on-rails' nature after the initial phase might limit player freedom for those seeking a more open-ended escape.

Teamwork is paramount. The success of your escape hinges on your group's ability to collaborate, share information, and execute plans efficiently.
