- Can you also play Prison Island with 2 people?
Yes, you can also play the Prison Island with 2 people. You can't play all the cells, but you can play about 80 percent. Some cells become a little more challenging, but that only makes the game more fun! - Can you also play Prison Island with 5 people?
We recommend teams of 3-4 people because of the space of the cells. If you come with 5 people, we use 1x2 and 1x3 people. Families with young children are made an exception and can be in a team with 5 people. - Is Prison Island equal to an escape room?
No, our Prison Island is not an escape room. The goal of the Prison Island is to score as many points as possible and not to escape from the complex. The complex has 28 cells, each with its own assignment. These cells vary in theme, difficulty and minimum number of people. Prison Island does contain game elements of an escape room. - From what age is Prison Island suitable?
Our Prison Island is suitable from a minimum age of 8 years. Up to the age of 12, guidance is desirable, because the majority of the cells can be experienced as too difficult. - What is the difficulty level of Prison Island?
In Marty's there are no less than 28 cells. Each cell can be played on 3 levels (these are called levels). So each cell has 3 levels, the game always starts at level 1. Do you have full marks? Then level 2 is activated. This starts a new game with a new challenge in the same room. Have you completed level 2 with the full score? This activates Level 3 with a new game in the same room. - Is Prison Island suitable for playing if you suffer from epilepsy or are sensitive to flashing lights?
We do not recommend playing Prison Island if you suffer from epilepsy. There may be cells that use different light programs.
- Is Prison Island wheelchair accessible?
No, Prison island is not wheelchair accessible. The cell complex is too narrow for this.
