The Escape Game is truly an industry leader in the escape room business, and it’s no wonder why there is an enormous amount of thought and planning behind every room they come out with. A solid story, excellent scenery and immersive puzzles all add to the immersion: one of mounting fear, mystery and intrigue. Prison Break was one of the first Escape Rooms I ever played, and remains to this day as one of my favorites. I was thoroughly impressed by the game’s progression and how each puzzle still felt uniquely tied to the story, right up until the end. Regardless, Prison Break includes a strong array of puzzles, both traditional and technical, that all work fluently to enhance the story and the players’ experience. This can be both rewarding and frustrating at the same time, depending on who you choose to play with! Prison Break, however, pulls off the split-start nearly flawlessly, offering both sides several independent tasks and many others that require good communication back and forth between your cells. Starting out in separate rooms is something few escape rooms do, and even fewer do well. It’s a testament to how well things are set up in a game when you can know what’s coming, but still jump from it! While these passages are not necessarily ADA friendly by their nature, The Escape Game always manages to play around with these types of areas by offering an available “bypass” from one room to another, ensuring that everyone will still have a great experience.Īlthough the ending of Prison Break is revealed somewhat early on in the game, the execution of the final puzzles still shocked a few of the members of my party. The use of crawl spaces and different levels greatly enhances the excitement of discovering a new room or passageway. The level of detail that The Escape Game puts into their rooms truly shows, and the best part is that virtually everything has a use or purpose, no matter how frivolous or small it might seem. As you move through the prison to the Warden’s office, you’ll notice markings on the wall, break areas for the guards, and holes fit for a rat to crawl through. The game begins with teams split between two separate, unique cells, complete with toilet and cot. The Escape Game is known for their scenic prowess, and Prison Break is no exception. It creates a means of rewarding players that pay attention with what could be considered a bonus clue, while staying deeply rooted in the attraction’s storyworld.
These types of clues are, as far as I’ve seen, unique to The Escape Game, and are an excellent addition to every game.
Even as you watch the video that sets the scene for the game, you’re being offered clues that might aid in your escape. While breaking out from prison is nothing new in the escape room business, the skill with which The Escape Game executes their storytelling through set design and puzzles is nothing short of marvelous.Įarly on, you’ll begin to find remnants and mementos from a previous inmate that will slowly unravel the mystery behind his fate. But no one actually knows…can you escape before you suffer the same fate?Įscaping from Prison Break will take you through multiple distinct rooms that each add another layer to the room’s dramatic story. Others swear he was murdered by the infamously cruel warden. Your new “home” is a cell that once belonged to an inmate who disappeared without a trace…or did he? Some claim he escaped. You’ve been wrongfully accused of a crime, and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. With a story and puzzles that pair together well, you’ll need to pay attention to everything you see and hear… or you may find yourself in for a life sentence.
