About
Players board a heavily guarded bus bound for one of the toughest prisons in the country, then compete in teams to escape from the strict guards first. To be driven away, each team must give the getaway driver the right password, earned through challenges along the way, or another team gets there first and they end up behind bars after all. The game lasts up to 90 minutes, is rated four out of five for difficulty and accommodates 6 to 200 people, and variants include a SWAT team start at a location of choice, a ladies-only women's wing with afternoon tea and a kids-only youth detention version.
The games
2 games to choose from
Prison Break Paasloo, open since October 2016 and one of the first large-group escape games in the Netherlands, is a competitive team escape. You are driven in a high-security prison bus toward one of the country's toughest jails, and must break out of the bus, cross the woods and reach the getaway car. The driver will help only if you can tell him the password, which you earn through challenges along the way, with rival teams racing you. A children's variant, Jeugddetentie, suits ages 6 to 11.
