Very Exciting! You do get told off..
Very fun and different. The location is far from a train station but you can have a lovely walk along the Thames. Game was very interesting - we didn't ask for much help but turns out you can ask for guidance! We didn't escape, Can you?

Very good
Upon arriving to a somewhat minimalistic place me and my girlfriend had doubts creeping in. But once we got going it was very fun with all the staff making jokes and getting us into the story. the escape room itself was great even though I was locked in a cell for 40 minutes because my Girlfriend couldn’t figure out how to get me out

Very Fun
Everyone who worked there were extremely friendly and welcoming. Even the guy working at the desk! The escape game itself was very fun even though we didn’t manage to escape lol. The actor in with us was very friendly and played the part very well! Good value for money and you get the whole hour in the game plus a picture afterwards! Would 100% recommend this to friend and wouod defo come back.

Couple trapped in a prison van - our kinda fun!
Luckily, we completed the escape room with another couple & fortunately another couple were late so couldn’t partake. This made the experience that little bit nicer than us joining a larger group. We & the other couple could really enjoy the room evenly. The thought of going with a larger group did deter us but we really wanted to experience this. The experience was actually inside an ex prison van which was super cool. Loved the set up prior to entering & the added extras of authenticity!

It was complete escapism from everyday life and a prison van. Raven & the Police officer were brilliant at staying in character.

A GREAT experience!
I got gifted the prison escape van for 2 and decided to go with some friends to fill out the group a bit. We hadn't done an escape before so didn't know what to expect, but the level of detail that went in to this was super impressive. The clues are quite tricky and the completion rate is only 10% but we managed to escape with 3 minutes to spare! Woop woop!

Really fun hour
Having never done an escape room before I didn’t know what to expect! But it was great fun, even though we didn’t escape! 13.5% success rate proves it’s challenging!

Great set, entertaining experience!
Good experience, especially if you do it with a group of friends - so that you can verbally rush each other to work as a team!, Smaller groups would work better in the space! Very entertaining!

An amazing day out!
I surprised my partner with this and we played with 2 strangers. The staff/ actors were excellent and remained in character throughout. The challenges were well thought through and really made our experience Would definitely recommend... Even despite me screaming every time I walked past one of the actors

Such A Brilliant Time!!!
I cannot rate this experience high enough. Everything was such good fun from the props to the staff. We both had such a brilliant time. It wasnt too difficult to loose focus but interesting enough to keep you festering around for clues desperate to figure out how it all fit together and the staff were fab in thier roles. I cant stop telling everyone I know what a brill time i had and to get it booked. Worth every penny. Thanks for giving us an enjoyable and memorable fun unique experience!!

Brilliant escape room idea with a twist!
The whole experience was great from the moment we arrived. Both the prison guard and the prisoner undertook their roles brilliantly. It was all quite authentic in a funny sort of way despite the shackling and orange jump suits which made it! Loads of humour, inclusivity, just wanting us to enjoy ourselves. My only comment is that my daughter and I were teamed up with 5 guys when we arrived, and doing it as a large team made it ( all the banter ), so best to do it in a big group. Thank you!

Confusion, Excitement and Brain Power
Was bought this experience as a gift and had a fab time! Only criticism is the organisation of informing customers the exact location of where the Prison van was? Location originally was Greenwich, however was later informed it was changed but only given a postcode and this was not an exact postcode. They need to be clear what road and car park etc. Also information that parking is available would have been really useful!

Trapped in a prison van
Getting dressed up is fun. However remember you are sharing this experience (depending on who is in your party) with others. Some of the clues need some work as they were very difficult to physically read. This is a unique fun experience, however the actual escape game is average.

Trapped in a Prison Van
Bunker 51 in Charlton London is out of the way and difficult to get to either from Charlton Station or the nearest underground, you have to walk through a seedy industrial estate to get there. Unfortunately for us there were only 2 other people doing the escape which we weren't told about when we booked and I image the experience to be more interesting when the van is full of 10 people. It was an OK experience but wouldn't rush to do another one

Not great
It was different and quirky... But didn't quite work. The venue was quite disorganised. I understand the premise is you're locked in a prison van, but being physically hand and ankle cuffed in jump suits was a bit much. Not good for my quite tall husband who ended up with bleeding ankles as cuffs so small. Also having a 'mad prisoner' actually shouting at you the whole time gave us all a head ache. Not a moment to think. Wouldn't repeat or recommend.
