Prison Island, an interactive adventure experience featuring 35 challenge cells, has opened at 162 Alfred Street in Fortitude Valley. Inspired by TV game shows and escape rooms, the concept puts teams of two to five players through 90 minutes of physical and mental challenges across a series of themed cells, with the goal of earning as many points as possible before time runs out.

What the Experience Involves
Prison Island extends the escape room format across 35 uniquely themed cells, each offering a different challenge. Rather than solving a single scenario, teams move through a mix of physical, technical and intellectual tasks at their own pace, choosing which challenges to tackle and retrying as many times as they like within the 90-minute session. Challenges include dodging laser beams, escaping cages, and a whack-a-mole style game, among others. Teams compete for a spot on a leaderboard, with points accumulated across completed cells.
The experience is produced by immersive entertainment specialists Make It Now and co-produced with global live entertainment platform Fever. It is held indoors in an air-conditioned venue, and a bar and food and beverage service are available on site, including vegan and gluten-free options.
Who It’s For
Prison Island Brisbane caters to a range of group types — friends, families, birthday groups, hens and buck parties, and corporate teams. The minimum age is seven years old. Children between seven and 14 must be accompanied by at least one adult per group of four children. The bride or groom receives complimentary entry on hens and buck bookings.
For corporate bookings and groups of 20 or more, dedicated group experience packages are available directly through the venue.
Comfortable clothing suitable for light physical activity is required — sneakers, pants and a t-shirt are recommended. High heels are not permitted. The venue is wheelchair accessible, though the layout and nature of certain challenges make it unsuitable for individuals with mobility impairments.
