Escape Room: Lockdown offers an unconventional form of entertainment right in the city centre Prešov. This is an escape room experience designed for groups of friends, families, tourists, school groups and corporate teams who want to experience something more than just a standard leisure activity.
During each game, players find themselves in themed environments where they must work together, look for clues, uncover connections and solve logic puzzles. Success does not depend solely on the individual – communication, teamwork, concentration and the ability to think under time pressure are all crucial.
Three themed escape games
Escape Room Lockdown offers three indoor escape games – Prison Break, Robbery a Joker. Each one has its own story, atmosphere and set of tasks, so playing one game doesn’t necessarily mean the experience is over.
The tasks are integrated directly into the themed rooms, and as players solve them, they gradually uncover further parts of the story. An important part of the experience is also the meticulously crafted scenery, which helps to create the atmosphere and draw players into the story.
The individual games will primarily test logical thinking, attentiveness, communication skills and the ability to work together as a team. Some situations also involve tension and elements that may test the participants’ courage.
An experience for both local and international visitors
One of the advantages of indoor escape room games is that they can be played in both Slovak and English. This makes them suitable not only for local visitors, but also for foreign tourists who want to experience a local attraction in a slightly unconventional way whilst visiting Prešov.
An escape room can be an interesting option for smaller groups, groups of friends or families looking for an activity to do together. It can also serve as an original activity for work groups and corporate teams, where communication and cooperation between individual participants come to the fore naturally.
Outdoor game: The 49th Parallel
The programme also includes an outdoor city-wide game the 49th parallel. Its name refers to a geographical feature associated with the building itself, in which the premises are located – the 49th parallel runs through it.
Unlike a traditional escape room, this game takes place right on the streets of Prešov’s historic centre. Participants make their way around the city, solving various tasks linked to significant locations and landmarks.
The city game thus combines fun with exploring Prešov. Whilst completing the tasks, players can learn interesting facts about the city’s history, as well as various lesser-known facts, stories and anecdotes linked to its historic centre.
Fun combined with exploring Prešov
The ‘49th Parallel’ city game could be an interesting option for visitors who don’t just want to pass through Prešov like typical tourists. Instead of a traditional sightseeing tour, participants become part of the game and uncover information by solving tasks.
This format is particularly suitable for groups who want to combine exploring the historic centre with active entertainment. The game also offers the chance to see familiar places in the city from a slightly different perspective.
Who is the Lockdown Escape Room suitable for?
Escape Room Lockdown is designed for a wide range of visitors. Friends, families with older children, tourists and school groups can all enjoy themselves here. Thanks to the team-based nature of the games, the venue is also of interest to companies looking for an unconventional team-building activity.
When making your choice, you can decide between an indoor escape game and a city game. Whilst traditional escape rooms offer themed spaces and a more intense gaming experience, 49th Parallel combines game tasks with a walk through the historic centre of Prešov.
