A different style of escape room to what we've done before, this room relies more on practical skills than logical puzzle solving. Our host, Sarah, was very good indeed. She was a very believable prison guard in what was a lovely bit of escape room theatre! The room itself was good, albeit a little tired in parts; it felt like a proper prison in that the room could do with a good deep clean and a bit of TLC to restore it to its former glory. Looking past this, the actual content of the room was very good. The theatre element was greatly enjoyed, and the use of space felt very prison break too. The 'puzzles' were well integrated into the prison break style too which added to the immersive feeling of the room. All in all, a good, fun escape room.

schlechtes hosting

We booked this game with the recommendation that it's a different experience but it's fantastic  - unfortunately, this isn't what we got.  For those who have played this game, you understand how the staff member plays an important part in this game. ... our staff member clearly didn't want to be there.... we had grunts and no interaction.  Shame.

This room was super fun, intense and exhilarating! Prison/jail break is quite a common room theme but the immersive nature of this game with the guard coming to do cell checks places it higher than other games of the same theme and had us running around like headless chickens trying our very best not to be caught. Lucardo recommends a 3-person minimum as players can be removed from the game if they are caught trying to escape (not a spoiler as this was told to us over the phone when booking), however you can play as a team of two if you call up and ask. This really heightened the intensity of the game as we desperately didn't want to get caught and leave the other player alone in there. We were extremely sweaty by the end of it! Shoutout to Rick who was an awesome GM and really did an amazing job in character as the prison guard.

The puzzles themselves are nothing particularly impressive and there are not that many of them due to the room being more story-driven but the immersion and atmosphere really made the game very exciting regardless. Super cool ending as well!

One thing I will say is that the room on here has an accessibility symbol but this room is definitely not suitable for wheelchair users or anyone with mobility issues.

A prison escape is a well worn Escape Room trope and is probably familiar if you are reading this.  This is one of the better versions with solid scenery and elements of theatricality that elevate it from the typical style of room.  Progress is relatively linear in nature but you must read and remember the rules otherwise you could have a very different experience!  You start off in your cell and must move from there to other prison locations in order to facilitate your escape whilst a riot is ongoing.  Our GM was Rick who was fantastic throughout and clued us at exactly the right moments with just enough to push us in the right direction.

I liked this game a lot. It's puzzle-lite but that's because it's much more physical/story driven than a lot of games.

A great experience which immerses you in to a slightly different and more realistic prison break based more on practical tasks rather than solving puzzles for a code to padlocks. The GMs add to this experience and stay in character when checking in on their convicts and cell. A cleverly executed game with a fun end.

Fugitives!

I was excited to try Lucardo's newest room. In our brief, we were advised that there would only be one code to solve, and all the other puzzles would be hands-on...interesting!

Story

As convicted criminals, your fellow inmates are staging a riot, giving you one precious hour to escape. A common storyline, but executed brilliantly. Wait to see how it unfolds during your endeavours!

Puzzles

They were all practical, encouraging us to think like prisoners, utilising whatever tools were at our disposal. We struggled with a couple of them: without locks to work out codes for, sometimes it was tricky to ascertain what to do next. This kept us guessing and thinking creatively, though!

Mise-en-scène

The journey was impressively portrayed as a real prison-break through the equipment, clothing, props and decor. It was delivered like a piece of immersive theatre. Very, very good!

Final Comments

This was a funny, inventive and engaging room. Highly recommended!

Lucardo's Prison is one heck of a game. It's obvious that the team have gone further than the extra mile to create an immersive, unforgettable game. 

The immersion starts straight away. Having to put on an orange shirt, you feel very much like a prisoner, over more of an 'observer', just trying to complete puzzles. Next, the cell you start in is bare, again, to make the whole situation realistic. 

And finally, ending in the guard's locker room, it's yet again obvious that they make sure this is immersive, primarily through the use of guard lockers, and a gang-sign 'cheat sheet'.

Overall, a very satisfying game, and really wish I could play it again!

Lucardo never fail to impress. The amount of effort that goes into their rooms is un-rivalled with any other escape rooms I have been to so far. The Prison is our 5th room with Lucardo and again, did not disappoint. This is a great game for people who like to play a role / get really immersed into a game. It involves using/investigating your surroundings more than trying to solve puzzles. We really loved it and came out with our best time yet!!

Bewertungen von Escape Room-Bewertungsseiten

Prison is one of the timeless escape room themes. It's been done so many times in many different styles that it's very difficult to build a prison game that feels original, doubly so because there's a very limited range of items you can plausibly put in a prison cell, and an obvious set of tropes to draw upon for puzzles. Nonetheless, Lucardo's take on the genre manages to take classic jailbreak ideas and turn them into a satisfyingly physical sequence of puzzles with something of an action-movi...

Lucardo continues to improve, and The Prison probably ranks as the best of the Manchester experiences. I may have had more fun in their University of Magic game because of its theme but, objectively, I think this is a more impressive experience: the puzzles fit the theme, there’s a better-than-average overarching story, and the moments of theatre deliver a coherent game that’s well worth playing.
A prison break is nothing new theme-wise, but this game was immersive and realistic and on a completely different level to not only to other similarly themed games, but also everything else on offer at Lucardo.
A very unique and immersive experience that throws away some traditional escape room rules. A really excellent game.
