👻 🔒 Night Behind Bars – Friday 29th May 🔒👻

We need an explanation for this one…

Damien was completely alone in C Wing while the rest of the tour had moved through to the Ex*****on Room… so who or what was with him? 😳

Things escalated even further when Dean bravely agreed to ask “The Captain” to touch him. What happened next had everyone shocked, especially Dean! The response was immediate and impossible to ignore.

But it didn’t stop there…

After finally recovering from the shock, Dean asked for confirmation. Seconds later, he felt a distinct poke on the neck. Once again, “The Captain” appeared to oblige. 👀

These are the moments that make Night Behind Bars unforgettable. Paranormal activity, unexplained encounters, and reactions you simply can’t fake.

🚨Welcome to Prison Escape at Shrewsbury Prison a live, interactive world set inside a real prison where every choice matters. 🚨

This is not an escape room. This is a 2.5-hour immersive escape game filled with live actors, shifting alliances, hidden agendas, and over 100 possible pathways through the prison. Officers patrol the wings, inmates trade information, and trust can disappear in seconds.

Work together, betray each other, uncover secrets, or fight to survive the system created by MERO Pharmaceuticals.

No two experiences are ever the same.

🔥 More immersive
🔥 More interactive
🔥 More intense
🔥 Bigger than ever before

The World’s Largest Escape Game is now open: https://www.shrewsburyprison.com/events/prison-break/

One officer locks you away. The other watches your every move. But neither of them are there to help you escape. ⛓️

Locked inside a real prison cell, you’ve got 60 minutes to crack the clues, outsmart the system and break free before the prison doors reopen. The pressure builds fast… and so does the panic. This isn’t just an escape room. This is breaking out of a place designed to keep you in.

Limited spaces remaining for our prison themed escape rooms this May Half Term!
