Mark as done to rate

The justice system is flawed and imperfect. You discover this first-hand having been sentenced to life in prison, without chance of parole, for a crime you did not commit. All requests for appeals have been denied. The only path to freedom is to breakout, but you are in a maximum-security cell and are constantly monitored. Suddenly, a riot erupts in another prison block. Your guard has left his post. This is your only chance for liberty. Are you quick-witted and resourceful enough to escape?

Did the Prison during our visit to Chicago. The 4 of us had a great time escaping and Jo was an excellent GM. Very enthusiastic and welcoming. Puzzles were fun and intuitive. Really have to communicate well to get out of this one. But that made it even more exciting. A good hint system where you can choose to use it or not but also for well with the theme. I would recommend this place if you’re looking for something to do with friends or family while in the city.

Our GM, Jo, was friendly and welcoming. Really kept in character and with the theme of the room.

There’s some much appreciated theatrics when you first start the game which was fun but the room itself wasn’t really anything spectacular. There weren’t any unique puzzles or designs that stood out to me. The overall experience itself though is great especially the interaction with the staff. Our GM remembered all our code names and gave us little goodie bags to take home and everyone else we ran into were really friendly and enthusiastic.

Definitely the best prison break room I’ve played. We had a fun challenge breaking out of our rooms and were happily surprised throughout the rest of the escape by the challenges with which we were faced. Only needed one hint!

This is a fun, traditional escape rom which requires a lot of finding things. If you aren’t good at finding things- you’re gonna need a lot of hints For a prison break room, it’s not that unique, but it’s still fun. The puzzles are relatively simple and the room isn’t themed too much, but still a good time

This is one of the most immersive escape rooms I’ve ever experienced. This room really makes use of cooperation between players in fun ways! Towards the end, the puzzles were a little hard to figure out for our small group, but this is one of those rooms where it’s totally worth it for the experience alone!
