Mark as done to rate

The debtors of 1850 is no ordinary experience. Housed within the original walls of what was once the debtor’s prison, this attraction invites groups of 2 to 6 participants to step into the shoes of 19th-century inmates desperately trying to gather the money to pay off their debt. Will their flair and fortitude, as well as a little help from other characters in the prison, see them make good what they owe and be released before the gate is locked for the night?

A really wonderful room. Not too complicated and flows nicely. Some great neat touches and decor was good and immersive. We did this as a family and everyone managed to do something. Would definitely recommend.

Very good room with puzzles of varying types and difficulty. Made by the guys from Time Trap and it's every bit as good as you'd expect. A bit out of the way but the town is lovely as well.
