Prison X is notouriously known for being the highest secure jail in the UK. Only one single escape has been accomplished by inmates.
Rumour has it that Trevor Ashcroft left some clues in to his escape route and has never been seen again since his escape.
Due to the reputation the prison has gained escape attempts rarely happen. However you have noticed that in recent times the guards are becoming a little more relaxed in their duties and even leaving area’s unattended for anything up to an hour.
The time has come where you have decided that it is your time to attempt what only one previous person has ever achieved. Can you escape Prison X?

The clue system was via walkie talkie and made it very hard to figure out as we spent so long trying to listen.

I can’t remember much about this as it’s been a while but I enjoyed it.  Took too long on the initial part so run out of time to do the puzzles I was enjoying but worth a go

Reviews by escape room review sites

Prison X was pretty much your standard prison escape type of game, but with a slight twist at the end - oh and a washing machine, because, why not? If you’re in St Ives and looking for a game to play, then this more traditional style escape room could help you escape the busy streets below
