You and your friends traveled to a country that is not very hospitable to foreign visitors. You thought the thrill is worth the risk, but your luck has run out and you were arrested by corrupt cops. The ransom requested for your freedom is too high. And if your relatives can’t pay it in a week, all of you will be executed. With all the negotiation attempts failing your only hope is in your own hands. Prison guards are on the break for one hour and that is your only chance left. Now or never. You will have to work as a team and use tools and hints left by previous prisoners who failed to escape on time. And to make matters worse, escaping prison is not the hardest part. You will also have to escape the country. You’ve heard the rumors that a prison warden is keeping his stash somewhere in a safe place. That cash could help to bribe officials at the border and be your ticket to freedom.

Good room! It’s more or what you might expect in a prison themed escape room. If you haven’t done one of those, then this is a good example of it, though I might not specifically recommend it over, say, The Escape Game or Fox in a Box. My favorite parts were the beginning puzzles where your team is split up and have to use teamwork and clever sharing. The final puzzle was a great logic puzzle too. The set had some good secrets too. Our room was slightly broken: the telephone mechanism wasn’t working and we had to shout out the phone numbers, the screen with our timer didn’t ever turn on, and the final exit mechanism said that our access was denied even though we escaped. Those were relatively minor things, though, and I still had a fun time!

Solid game. It had some meaty logic puzzles and some more standard prison puzzles. The puzzles were logical and fair, but it felt like some of them needed a little extra guidance to help you make the mental connections. Good mix of tech and locks. The set was decent as well. Overall, I would recommend it, but don’t expect more than your standard prison game.

Gameplay

Some puzzles needed a little extra clueing, but they ranged in complexity and variety.
