Will my team be the only ones playing in each Prison Challenge Room?

studio55 — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 13:55:21 +0000

Yes, teams will identify available cells with a green light outside the room. Once your team enters the light will go red and no other team can enter whilst you attempt the challenge. You will of course see other teams in the corridors or waiting area, some of whom may be your competition!

Can anyone participate?

studio55 — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 13:51:14 +0000

Almost anyone can enjoy our challenge cells
Languages: All of the challenge instructions & clues are in English.
Wheelchair users and people with reduced mobility: A number of the challenges may not be suitable because they involve moving quickly, climbing, crawling and operating in restricted spaces. Of the 31 Prison Island Challenges a number of them can be accessed easily, some others provide a limited chance to manoeuvre. Approximately 21 of the 31 would be playable with around 27 accessible in a wheelchair. With most teams completing around 13 to 18 challenges in 1hr we can certainly entertain you! Our reception, toilets and café are of course fully accessible.
Pregnancy: Many of the Prison Challenges are suitable, but some involve crawling, jumping, or physical exertion. You can use your own judgement as you go. Players are welcome to direct their team mates in these cells. You will still be part of the experience and your team can still earn points without you physically participating in every challenge.
Visually Impaired: A number of the challenges are purely visual. Other team members should have good eyesight to assist.
Claustrophobia: Cells named The Prison and Devils Island may not be suitable for you.
Vertigo: The Cell Tilt may not be suitable for you.

Please call us if you have any specific questions.

Is there an age restriction for the Prison Island Challenges?

studio55 — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 13:48:14 +0000

Yes, we recommend a minimum age of 9 for teams that will play without an adult. For Family teams you can of course bring younger children who you can provide assistance to. We recommend the challenges as suitable for ages 6+ for families.

For Prison Island U16 Birthday Parties the Minimum age is 9. Should there be any younger players ( 6 to 8yrs old) then an adult should purchase a ticket and be part of that team.

We’ve not had any player over 100 that we know of however we’ve had people celebrating birthday in their 70’s!

What if another team is in the game I want to play?

studio55 — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 13:47:47 +0000

If a cell is in use you will see a red notification light outside. Once the cell is available again the light will turn green allowing you to enter. There are always more cells available to play than teams playing.
