Prison Van Escape Room Experience

Prison Info

Welcome to the Prison Van Escape Room Experience, a thrilling, immersive activity designed to test your problem-solving skills in a high-stakes environment similar to the likes of UK’s prison transport system. Here, we use an authentic prison van to ensure you have the most realistic experience possible. However, remember, this is all fun and games – a getaway vehicle is not legally essential under UK law.

Never tried an escape room before? Not to worry! Here’s what you can expect.

  1. Upon entering the prison van, you and your friends will be ‘locked in’ (hypothetically) and presented with a series of challenging, interactive puzzles.
  2. Working together, you must solve these puzzles within a set time to successfully ‘break out’.
  3. Don’t drop the soap! Only through quick thinking, teamwork, and a sharp eye will you be able to escape.

The prison van used for this escape room experience is a decommissioned vehicle, formerly part of the UK Prison Service fleet. The van retains all its original features, including secure prison cells and a caged driver’s compartment, so you can immerse yourself in the authenticity of the experience.

Now let’s run down some typical questions you might have about the Prison Van Escape Room Experience:

  • Who can participate? Anyone over the age of 14. Minors should be accompanied by adults.
  • How long does it last? Each escape experience typically lasts one hour, but including the briefing/debriefing, plan for a total of 90 minutes.
  • Will I really be locked in? No – your safety is our priority. Though it’s designed as an escape challenge, emergency exits are clearly marked and easily accessible at all times.
  • What if I struggle to solve the puzzles? Your game leader will be on hand to offer helpful nudges in the right direction if needed.
  • How many people can take part? This experience is designed for groups of 2-6 people.
  • Is it safe? Absolutely. The experience is completely safe and is monitored by staff at all times.

Exciting? It surely is. Test your wits in a real-life prison escape scenario – no actual prison sentence required! Gather your team, prepare to think fast, and unleash your inner escape artist. Escape or not, you’re guaranteed a memorable time!

We look forward to locking…err…welcoming you aboard!

Remember: this is an escape room experience only; no actual prison laws apply. The information provided is exclusive to the UK and under UK law. Attempting to recreate a real-life prison break is illegal under UK law and not encouraged by our escape room.
