About the experience
What can I expect from the event?
Prison Island is an interactive adventure inspired by hit TV game shows and escape rooms, combining the thrill of escape rooms with physical and mental challenges. Instead of escaping from a single room, teams of 2 to 5 players will take on a series of tasks in thematically designed cells, all while racing against the clock to earn as many points as possible. Each cell offers a unique challenge, whether it's a physical test of balance or dexterity, or a mental puzzle requiring logic and quick thinking.
What's the goal?
With your team, try to escape from as many cells as possible. If you fail, you can retry or try your luck in new cells. Some cells may require multiple attempts to earn all the points! Be careful, though—the overall timer keeps running!
Compete against teams of the day, week, or top 3 by earning the maximum number of points! Each successful challenge earns you between 25 and 100 points. Large screens in the reception and game areas display your live rankings!
How many people can play?
Prison Island Indianapolis can accommodate 30 teams of 2-5 people at the same time. For the optimal playing experience we recommend coming in teams of 2-5 people. While you can play with a team of 2, only some challenges will be more complicated to complete and you may not be able to claim the maximum points in certain cells.
