Stirling Jail
Escape Rooms

Nobody ever chose to stay at Stirling’s Old Town Jail. Now you have 60 minutes to get out.

We’ve built two escape rooms inside the real Victorian prison. Find the clues, crack the codes and piece together what happened here before the clock runs out. Jail Break takes up to 8 players and Forgotten Cell up to 6, so book both and bring a team of 14.

No experience needed. You just need sharp eyes, a bit of teamwork, we can give a clue if you get stuck. If you’re coming with your work team, check out our Festive Escape.

Amazingly immersive and with such detail. Would highly recommend this to anyone who likes a challenge and a bit of a laugh.

Why stop at escaping when you can experience the whole jail?

You’ve escaped the jail. Now meet the people who never did. Our live performance tour takes you through the cells with costumed characters from the jail’s past. It’s funny, a bit grim and very Stirling.

Great Escape

We had a great time playing the new escape room. The Old Town Jail is a fantastically unique setting and the escape room is a great addition to the attraction. The game itself was fun and challenging with a good mixture of puzzles. We escaped just in time (although we did need a couple of hints along the way). A great way to spend an hour, thoroughly recommended!

TripAdvisor

Great time!

I have completed a number of escape rooms and I was particularly impressed by the complexity and uniqueness of the old town jail escape room. It was really enjoyable and it was great that the plot was in keeping with the surroundings and history of the jail! Would highly recommend.

Escape Room

Absolutely fantastic. A tough time I’m sure for the enthusiastic staff unable to role play but they still managed to give a great air of authenticity to the escape room. Highly recommended!

Managed to Escape!

I never knew this attraction existed! So glad I found out, it was wonderful. Great tour guide. Very cleverly done and informative. Kids loved it. Lots of history in the place and well maintained. The look out tower at the end was fab. A great place to go for a day out with the kids. Recommending it to all my friends.
