About
Overview Prison Island, located at The District Docklands, is an indoor adventure activity comprising 34 themed "cells," each containing a unique challenge. Unlike a traditional escape room with a single narrative, this experience allows teams of two to five people to move freely between the different cells, attempting to solve challenges and score points within a 90-minute session.
The challenges are designed to test a variety of skills, including logic, physical ability, and teamwork. Each cell takes a few minutes to complete, and teams can re-attempt any challenge multiple times to improve their score. The environment uses technology such as motion sensors and interactive screens, with a live scoreboard adding a competitive element to the experience.
Highlights
- Features 34 unique, themed challenge rooms to explore.

- Team-based play where groups work together to score points against a 90-minute clock.
