Mark as done to rate

In this family-friendly prison break escape room, you and your gang are been accused of murder in the first degree and are sentenced to death. You’re currently awaiting your execution in death row. But…you didn’t do it. You were framed by someone and it’s time to find out WHO and gain your freedom before it is too late. You will find clues, solve puzzles, and find the real killer to escape! Luckily, you have a little help on the outside. Someone has agreed to help clear your name if you can find the evidence. One of your former associates is being interrogated for the next hour, and if you’re not able to find the smoking gun against the real killer, he may just give a false confession in exchange for his own freedom. Can you and your team of misfits break out of prison in just 60 minutes?

The family really enjoyed all the props and different puzzles. I enjoyed the different style of puzzles that challenged you and all the different rooms that were included.

Fun room. Puzzles flowed well and made sense. Game Master Grace was nice and gave good nudges when needed. Only issue was the phone at the end wasnt working. But it didnt spoil the fun. Based on another reviewer, this has been going on for a while. Probably hard to find an old touchtone landline phone these days.

Good room and puzzles, only issue was that a phone near the end wasn’t functioning as intended.
