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.

Fun family friendly escape room

We visited Shrewsbury Prison and decided to try the escape room. It was in an old cell, with authentic furniture, etc. There were a series of puzzles to solve that were each "just about right" in our experience for a fun family escape room, challenging enough to keep us thinking, but very solveable. There was an emergecy release button so if you were feeling claustrophobic - we didn't but thought we might - it was possible to leave at any time. Our warden / guide was Michelle who struck the right balance for us between being in character and being helpful. Michelle was always on hand if we needed help, and gave it in just the right way, whilst also explaining about the prison. It made a huge difference having Michelle on hand! Would definitely go back.

We really enjoyed the Escape Room. It was well organised and the ‘screw’ looking after us (Michelle) was great. Well organised, clear instructions and helped us out when needed… A self guided tour of the Prison was included so great value for money.
