An overall good game, The set is on point. The staff interaction is top tier. But I just feel like it could have been better. Maybe bit more content in first area, leading to more back and forth. There was an interesting concept but felt they could have done more with it. And the clue system for this game meant that we still had some leftover hints from the previous team.

Hands down my favourite room that Lucardo has to offer - and they’re all great! I loved the sense of urgency and the theatrical escape with this one. Made us really feel like prisoners and was so much fun

Fun game. Very practical rather than lots of mental puzzles. I like that. I prefer more physical games. Very much enjoyed the experience. The hints we needed were delivered well and in good time. Not to early.
Gameplay
Very practical room. Not many riddles, number puzzles etc. very much a ‘what’s right in front of you’ room.
Atmosphere
Interaction from the game master during the game which is always fun. Whole game was well designed

A prison escape is a well worn Escape Room trope and is probably familiar if you are reading this. This is one of the better versions with solid scenery and elements of theatricality that elevate it from the typical style of room. Progress is relatively linear in nature but you must read and remember the rules otherwise you could have a very different experience! You start off in your cell and must move from there to other prison locations in order to facilitate your escape whilst a riot is ongoing. Our GM was Rick who was fantastic throughout and clued us at exactly the right moments with just enough to push us in the right direction.
