Jail Break Escape Room is back for summer 2022 and revisiting our last two story lines:
This season the experience is themed around the night time blackout which was enforced throughout the Second World War, 1939 – 45. In cities, towns and villages across Britain Air Raid Patrol (ARP) wardens and Special Constables patrolled the streets at night checking that no building was showing even the smallest chink of light. Any light that could be seen could have attracted German aeroplanes on their night time bombing raids across Britain during the Blitz on Britain of 1940 – 1941. This seasons Escape Room experience is based around genuine cases involving local people who broke the blackout regulations between 1939 and 1945.
