Abu Dhabi is about to welcome a new adrenaline-fuelled activity for all ages. ‘Prison Island – Beat the Bars’ is filled with absorbing challenges that require quick thinking, sharp logic and most importantly, teamwork.
Opening soon at Abu Dhabi Mall, it features 26 cells, set within a 1,000 sq m complex. Teammates are required to use their skills and talents to solve puzzles, collect points and work as a team to complete this adventure.
Ranked according to difficulty (physique, tactics or technique), every cell is worth a different number of points. Encouraging imagination, creativity and teamwork, each challenge is based around its own distinct theme, with special effects and designs that are set to transport teams into alternative reality, according to a spokesperson.
Providing quiz and problem-solving challenges, participants will have to immerse themselves in solving cells like The Vault, Tilt, Cliffhanger, Tower, Flash Dance and many more hair-raising and fun activities.
Ideal for guests aged eight and above, it’s ideal for team building events, birthday parties or special occasions. Providing ample opportunities for every team member to contribute to the mission and create special memories, it takes between one to three hours to complete.
Inspired by the hit TV shows Fort Boyard and The Crystal Maze, Prison Island presents a journey unlike anything seen before in the UAE capital. With the capacity to host up to 120 players and 22 teams of up to six people at any one time, it is set to become one of the top must-try experiences in the city.
Prison Island Managing Partner Ayman Abdelrhman said: “I’m excited to introduce the people of Abu Dhabi to Prison Island. At Abu Dhabi Mall, we’ve worked long and hard to come up with a whole array of puzzles and cells that will enchant and thrill people of all ages. Filled with twists and surprises, it’s an incredible voyage like nothing else.
"Participants should come prepared for the unexpected; they will never forget their time within Prison Island and I can guarantee that they will be amazed by what they can achieve when they put their minds to it. I can’t wait to introduce everyone to this fantastic destination that we have created.”
Ahead of the opening, visitors to Abu Dhabi Mall are encouraged to enter a competition to win a Prison Island experience.
Prison Island is due to open very soon at Abu Dhabi Mall, with prices starting from AED125 ($34) for adults and AED105 for kids per hour. Active wear and sneakers are required to take part, and changing room facilities are available on site.-TradeArabia News Service
