The best escape room I've done - 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.

Highly recommend. - This was a fantastic immersive experience right from entering the prison! We had booked 2 different escape rooms; the hole and the cell. They were both great team building exercises for our team and we all enjoyed the day. The guards were great at making us feel as though we were actual prisoners! Highly recommend.

Great day - We did the escape room [ the hole] in the dark, what a brilliant experience. The staff made it super realistic, difficult but doable. Really interesting walk around the prison. We would recommend to anyone that's visiting Somerset to visit. Great day out for adults and children. The prison was quiet, no queues. Booked online same day as visit.

We had a great time - As a family of 4 adults we have done a number of escape rooms and this was one of our favourites. Without dropping spoilers. The initial set up and started conditions added to the sense of confusion and stress which is exactly what you want from an escape room. The staff have great characters too, I will say no more! The self guided tour was great too. The prison has an interesting history and I learned interesting stuff. I hope that the planned developments will allow this just to be explored more deeply in a cohesive way . The prison really does feel like the incarcerated have only just moved out and this adds to the sense of depression and loss of control. I love the emotional connection this creates. Good place to visit and we will be back with other friends

Memorable Immersive escape from prison - This was such fun; my grandsons - 11 & 13 - were fully engaged in trying to get out of the cell and solve the clues. Georgina our ‘guard’ was excellent - to create a truly immersive experience - combining the fierce characteristics of the ‘role’ with supportive encouraging hints to keep us on track and achieve. Highly recommend - and going round the whole prison was really interesting and chilling experience too.
