About the experience
What can I expect from the event?
Prison Island Melbourne is an action game featuring a spacious game area with 34 unique cells & challenges! Unlike traditional escape rooms, this experience offers far more freedom and variety. With a reception area, a bar, and plenty of seating, it’s the perfect spot for an exciting and immersive adventure.
While escape rooms require you to solve a single scenario within an hour, Prison Island Melbourne lets you and your team explore at your own pace—choosing which challenges to tackle, retrying as many times as you like, and strategizing your way through a mix of physical, technical, and intellectual tasks.
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 Melbourne can accommodate 29 teams of 3-4 people at the same time. For the optimal playing experience we recommend coming in teams of 3-4 people. You can already play with a team of 2, only some challenges will be more complicated to complete and you will not be able to claim the maximum points in certain cells.
