Summary:
Great experience. I had done a few escape rooms previously and this one is by far the best. It adds a little extra fun to the task. I'll leave you with that for the surprise.
My partner had never done one before and loved it too. Shout out to will who set us up in the room, acting the mean prison guard :D Thankyou!
Afterwards we had a self guided tour of the Prison which is great. So well pit together and lots of history.
