About Prison Island Melbourne
Prison Island Melbourne is an indoor team game on the first floor of The District Docklands. Its game floor is laid out like a prison block, and behind each of the 34 cell doors waits one challenge to beat. Some cells test aim and speed, like the whack-a-mole table, a basketball task or a glowing floor grid. Others lean on logic, balance or plain nerve. Teams of two to five move between cells in whatever order they like and can go back to a cell that beat them, but one overall timer keeps counting down for the whole visit. Each success is worth 25 to 100 points, and big screens in the game area and reception show where every team sits on the day's, week's and all-time rankings. A number of cells now run in three stages, and clearing the first unlocks a tougher round with bigger points. Play time can be set between 60 and 120 minutes, and group bookings run for about 90 minutes. Bigger parties are split into several teams of up to five, which turns a birthday, a hens or bucks night or a work outing into a friendly contest. Out front, the reception lounge has a bar and tables where the group can regroup before or after the game. Players must be aged 7 or over, and any team without an adult must be made up of players aged 14 or older. Parties of 20 or more go through the venue's group request form, so send an enquiry with your date and head count to start planning.
