Real-life gaming with the whole group

The downside of VR is that players are often stuck in their own virtual bubble. In Prison Island, you experience everything together. You form teams of 2 to 4 people and navigate the cell complex on your own. Which cell will you tackle first? Will it be an agility test, a nerve-wracking puzzle, or an active obstacle? If you don’t clear a cell on your first try, just try again for a higher score.

Really well organized! With three people, you can play everything, and some things with four people. We booked 1.5 hours, but that went by so fast and we didn't even get to play all the rooms. The next day, we had sore muscles from all the climbing and scrambling. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommended!
Tip: don't dress too warmly and wear sneakers.

Top family night with the cells; the entourage of glowgolf was less challenging than elsewhere, but the courses otherwise good and varied
