Mark as done to rate

You suddenly wake up to find yourself locked in a cramped prison cell, cold, scared, the air-filled with silence. You soon realize that you are in the St. Temple Prison. This abandoned prison has a history of mysteriously taking the lives of others. If you don’t want to be next, you have to escape.

Solid room! On the tougher end of the spectrum (imo) of Omventure rooms, primarily due to the last puzzle or two. A fun application of classic prison escape rooms where you are separated in 2 groups at the start and need to talk to each other. The ramping up in difficulty of the puzzles throughout the experience was well done. I also appreciated giving the players physical manipulatives to help brainstorm/solve one of the logic puzzles, helps a puzzle stay difficult without ending up too frustrating. The first rooms you are in are quite small so maybe 6 would be the max I’d go with (3 in each room to start). I still don’t really understand the narrative of the room if that’s something important to you haha. But luckily not needed for the puzzles.

Really fun room, standard prison room but lots of fun, you start separate which is a great challenge, there’s not a lot of space so I recommend about 4-6 people

One of my favourite “prison” based rooms. The teamwork was necessary so one person can’t take control of the puzzles . There was a wide range of different types of puzzles so it didn’t feel repetitive at all .
