Prison Escape is a 2.5-hour immersive escape game experience set inside the real walls of Shrewsbury Prison. Trust is currency and choices have consequences. Some inmates may help you, others may use you to survive.
This is not an escape room, it’s a large-scale immersive prison world where every decision matters.
Shrewsbury Prison is no longer government-run. It now operates under the control of MERO Pharmaceuticals, a corporation introducing its own experimental rehabilitation programme built around one principle:
Progress Through Compliance
On arrival, inmates are processed, assigned identification and integrated into the system. From that moment on, every movement, conversation and decision carries value.
Some characters will offer opportunities, others will manipulate, mislead or betray you. Nothing is explained outright. You are expected to observe, adapt and survive. Your sentence begins the moment you arrive.
Book Now
Throughout the experience, the prison remains fully active.
Officers patrol the wings. Inmates trade information. Hidden agendas unfold around you as the system reacts to the choices being made inside it.
You may work alongside others, betray them for your own survival or attempt to expose what MERO is really doing behind closed doors.
Every decision pushes the story in a different direction. The prison adapts, the system responds, and not everyone makes it out.
Book Now

No. Success depends more on communication, decision-making, and interaction. Puzzles play a part and you can team up with other inmates to solve them, but they’re not the main focus.
That is entirely up to you. Unless your group decide to betray you for an advantage…
Comfortable clothing. A prison jumpsuit will be provided when you are processed.
No. Outcomes depend on your decisions, who you trust and how you react. It could be easier to betray your team and escape solo…
