You’re serving time behind bars, but have become tired of your sentence, you are clever, quick-witted and a notorious escape specialist. You have gained a reputation amongst Prison Officers for being difficult to detain, committing numerous escape attempts from your prison cell.
Now the Governor has had enough. The transfer papers have been signed and you’re heading to the darkness; you’re heading to The Hole.
The Hole is a specially designed prison cell, steel reinforced walls, electronic doors, and pitch black, The Hole is deemed inescapable. Once locked inside, escape is no longer an option.

Quite a difficult escape room but Michelle was a great guide and helped us when we got stuck! 59 mins and 33 seconds was the time we took Some areas improvement but otherwise a good activity plus we got to visit the prison as part of the price
Response from Host, Jul 2026

Didn’t even get in!

We arrived to find we were double booked so couldn’t get in and also couldn’t get a refund as the manager who refunds wasn’t at work. However we were offered a free tour including a drink and cake. I commend the staff for this. But having drove all the way to Shrewsbury just to be turned away is frustrating.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback, and firstly please accept my apologies for the frustration caused on your visit to Shrewsbury Prison. Unfortunately, this was due to a third-party booking error which has now been rectified to prevent this happening again in future. I completely understand how disappointing and frustrating it must have been to travel to us only to be turned away on arrival. I’m pleased to hear that the team were able to offer a complimentary tour including drinks and cake as a gesture at the time, and I appreciate your kind comments regarding their handling of the situation. Please could you email us directly with your booking details so we can review this fully and ensure the matter is resolved appropriately for you? Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we do hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for the full experience very soon.

Escape room was enjoyable and good fun (albeit very difficult!) The team member, Michelle, was funny and helpful.
