9 of us did the ‘Prison Break’ escape room for my daughter’s Hen party and we had a fantastic time!! All of the actors were great! The Governor, the two female prisoners (one who had my 70 year old Mom running after her around the prison!!) the sweet one who had to tell the truth!! Gym was particularly friendly and also officer McNally was a cheeky chappy! Nurse and Cookie were great too!! Also the officer with glasses whose name I can’t recall!! It was a professional, immersive experience and we were howling with laughter for the duration!! We also managed to escape which proved we aren’t as stupid as we thought! Ha! Would definitely recommend! Whether there are 2 of you or 10 of you it’s a great day out!

Interesting if you have never been to a prison before. And the escape room activity was well constructed. Overall I would say it is a little pricey, and the prison itself is not very different from (for example) Shepton Mallett, so I wouldn't bother if you have been to another prison.

The experience needed a bit more structure so we knew what order we needed to open locked items. A copy of the leaders briefing in the cell would have also been useful. Although the leader would give us a clue it got a bit boring when we couldn’t progress.

Very disappointing don’t waste your money. Confusing, amateur, pointless , chaotic Read on so you know exactly what to expect - First we were led into our cells no brief how to play the game , when we were prompted we unlocked the box and found out instructions in the box , not professional scruffy used pieces of paper which I noticed first . When we solved the puzzle it was pointless ? Still had to wait for guard to unlock us ? At this point I thought it could only get better ? Then we were took to the fitness guard who gave us a skipping rope and was told to do that for a few mins before we got our stamp to move on to another locked cell which we supposedly at to work out the clue (it had already been done by another prison in mate- thanks buddy but it would have been nice to do it ourselves ) the next was a nurse guard who asked us some pointless questions and believe me they were pointless then we were showed to a board with information on , at that point it was getting even more confusing Proceeded to the education guard where we did a few quiz , problem questions again pointless not very engaging, his language although at this point I didn’t care but it was offensive and uncalled for, prison yes but if there had been children about ?? Then the last was the cook - chef This was a joke , told to design something using ketchup sachets ? Then told to unscramble some analogue words off a scruffy uncared, shared notice board. Again it would have been nice to work these out ourselves but others shouted out before us Asked at one point if we could find out the history of the place which one of the guards filled us in a little , he then gave us contraband and money to get out of prison , at that point I think I would have given him the money to get me out of It was embarrassing, Purchased this experience for my hubby as a present and it was the worst two hours we had for a long time and that’s saying something coming from someone like myself who as had a pretty hard time over the years with my health. The place itself was amazing , you truly got the sense of how prison life was. Coming from Shrewsbury walking past nearly everyday I had always wondered what it was like inside but spending £70 each to experience that I feel was too much for what we actually got and to be honest the organizers are taking you for a fool and to be honest this review needed to be said so that a - they might take note and improve things Changes need to be done NOW going forward , more staff needed more interaction, confusion of the game must be sorted out , pointless tasks definitely need to be addressed. I am sorry that I had to write this review I don’t normally do this but the event organizers not the staff as it’s not their fault need to be taken into account
