Test your wits in Shepton Mallet Prison’s dark escape room, then explore a historic jail with a private group experience.
“We had an amazing time and the escape room was just tricky enough to feel like we had really achieved something but not so hard it felt impossible. The theming was good, and whilst if you were severely claustrophobic it would be very challenging, it would not fall into the category of a horror one. If you're ok with the dark, you'll be fine. Our prison guard, Georgina was great (if a little scary to start). Would definitely recommend and other in my party said that this was the better of the two escape rooms, but I have not done the other one.”

“Started ok used lots of attempts lost with correct answers because we used full title names enjoyed for first 5 or so clues in the smaller streets out the way but by the time we got so far it just got a little boring to be honest so didn’t even end up finishing it unfortunately … brilliant idea but definitely felt something was missing… bit too expensive for what it was”

“Was unable to download and as this wasn't a refundable I can't explain any more than this sorry dot dot dot just to write the minum number which is a bit ridiculous really but otherwise I think it was a technical issue which could be my phone so I'll accept that can't review though something I haven't tried but I wish you all well. Also can you take off the minus words as it's a little bit aggressive that if we don't write enough words when some like myself struggle to write. I know that's not the intention”
