The story

How could it ever have come to this? Will you ever live in freedom again? You are about to board a heavily secured prison transport in Paasloo, in the province of Overijssel. The bus takes you to one of the toughest and most violent prisons in the Netherlands. Here you will have to survive for the next few years. Escape now really seems impossible, or is there a chance to avoid this fate after all?

Prison Break Paasloo is an escape game in which you compete against each other in different teams to be the first to escape from the clutches of the strict guards. Working together with your teammates is important. Do you and your team manage to escape from the bus and reach the getaway car through the forest? The driver of the getaway car is happy to lend you a hand, but only if you can tell him the password. To find the password you have to take on the necessary challenges along the way and keep a cool head, otherwise one of the other teams beats you to it and you end up behind bars that same evening.
