Prison Break Paasloo is an escape game in Paasloo, in Weerribben-Wieden National Park. In teams you compete against each other to be the first to escape from the prison guards and reach the getaway car.
The game begins on board a heavily secured prison transport. With your team you try to escape from the bus and reach the getaway car through the forest. The driver only helps you if you know the right password, and you earn that along the way by solving tasks and puzzles together. Other teams are trying the same: if one of them beats you to it, you will still end up behind bars that same evening.
At Prison Break Paasloo you can play an escape game with a group, hold a children’s party, combine the game with an e-chopper tour or archery, and eat and drink at Restaurant ’t Binnenhof before or after the game.
You book the escape game online for groups of 6 to 30 people. With a larger group, or if you want to adapt the programme, contact Prison Break Paasloo.
Prison Break Paasloo is not a standard escape room: you play the game largely outdoors, in the nature of Weerribben-Wieden National Park. You and your team are locked in an old prison bus. Once you have escaped, you look for the right route through the forest and solve challenges along the way to find the password. Teamwork and keeping a cool head are important.
Prison Break Paasloo has existed since October 2016. Since then, some 20,000 visitors have tried to escape.
Besides the regular game there are three versions: one where you are already picked up at home or at work, one especially for women’s groups and one for children’s parties.
From 6 people
The game starts at your home, your workplace or another location. Guards pick up your group there and take you to Paasloo by coach. There you are locked in the prison bus and the escape begins. Ask Prison Break Paasloo about the options.
6 to 28 people, from 14 years old
A version for women’s groups: in pink overalls you escape from female guards. The programme lasts 150 minutes, with a welcome followed by a high tea. In consultation this can also be a buffet, barbecue or dinner. With more than 28 people, ask about the options.
Children’s party, 6 to 11 years old
After the welcome, a police officer collects the children. They put on real prison clothes, escape from the bus with tasks and earn letters for the password in a search and puzzle trail. Afterwards they play or swim and have something to eat. For 6 to 16 children, the party lasts 3 to 4 hours.
Prison Break Paasloo combines the game with food, drinks or another activity. Packages are available for groups of 10 people or more. If you want a combination or a tailor-made programme, please get in touch. The kitchen takes dietary and allergy requirements into account, such as vegetarian, halal or gluten-free, if you let them know in advance.
E-chopper
The electric choppers look like a Harley, make no noise and have wide tyres. After an introduction you ride a tour through the nature reserve, with places to stop along the way. Every rider needs a valid driving licence or moped certificate. For those without one, there are fat bikes and e-bikes; mention this when you book.
Archery
In Arrow Battle you try to beat the other team with a bow and foam arrows while taking cover behind obstacles. Other activities you can add are laser clay pigeon shooting, Klimbos Paasloo (the climbing forest), a VR game room, DAF driving, padel and workshops.
You play Prison Break Paasloo from Restaurant ’t Binnenhof, housed in a former farmstead. Before the game you eat with your group in one of the rooms or on one of the terraces; afterwards you round things off in the lounge or the café. The restaurant is also open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
For the youngest guests there is an indoor play corner with interactive games and a ball pit, and outside a playground with a trampoline and bouncy castle, and a swimming pool.
The game lasts a maximum of 90 minutes. Report to Restaurant 't Binnenhof at Binnenweg 12 in Paasloo at least 10 minutes before the start.
