Prison Escape

The World’s Largest Escape Game

Prison Escape is a 2.5-hour immersive escape experience set inside the real walls of Peterhead Prison. This is not a standard escape room. It is a fully realised prison world, blending large-scale escape challenges, live actors, cinematic storytelling and dark comedy inside an authentic, working prison environment.

Processed Into the System

Your sentence begins the moment you arrive.

On entry, you are inducted into prison life, processed, issued with identification and placed under the control of a system that no longer recognises names, only numbers. Officers enforce the rules. Inmates test boundaries. The prison quickly reveals itself as a place where power, corruption and opportunity collide.

This is where the story begins.

As you move through wings and cells, live characters draw you into the world of Prison Escape, some offering help, others creating obstacles. Every interaction matters, and every choice shapes your route through the prison.

Outsmart the System

Escape will not come easily.

Prison Escape challenges you to think, adapt and collaborate inside a system designed to stop you. Teams must tackle large-scale puzzles, uncover hidden information and decide who to trust as the clock ticks relentlessly towards lockdown.

You may work alone or alongside others, but success depends on reading the prison, its people, its routines and its weaknesses.

This is high-energy problem solving on a scale rarely seen, made unforgettable by the reality of the setting and the intensity of live performance around you.
