Overview

While most escape rooms have you trying to work out how to escape from a puzzle-filled room, not many are located in a real-life former prison. Use your wits to figure out how to escape a Shrewsbury Prison cell while prisoners are on lockdown, and once you’ve managed to get free, enjoy a self-guided tour around the prison.

Absolutely adored our visit

sarahmM63ZO, Jan 2026

Incredible day out, for a family of four (2 adults,a baby and seven year old)) the staff were absolutely amazing, friendly, super helpful and full of knowledge and keen to share. Such a unique and beyond interesting place. I was absolutely fascinated from the very first moment! Amazing coffees and good suze food portions too!

Great day!

The whole experience was excellent from beginning to end! Sad we can only do it once. Even the gift shop was a great time!!

Disappointing Escape Room

leannemI4031BR, Dec 2025

Advertised as a state of the art escape room, however person who designed it has clearly not been to other great escape rooms. We have successfully done 20 plus rooms all over the country and this was one of the worst. Very tight space for 2 adults and 2 kids with Xmas tree in the way. Very battered and dirty props. Limited puzzles with main one difficult to decipher what you were trying to do. Lack of emersive story. Pop to escape rooms in telford or shrewsbury to see how they should be done or this one may put you off doing them. Consider enhancing with better puzzles with books, posters, keys, personal care items, or link to the Sean bean filming that took place at the prison. Wouldnt take much to make it more enjoyable and emersive. It was good that a self guided tour was included in the escape room price but even with that and the escape room we were only at the prison for 2 hours. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Dogs allowed which is good if you want to take furry friend. Take coats and gloves in winter! Kids enjoyed finding the Elf cards Has a cafe on site

Great Afternoon Out
