The Key: Escape from Strongwall Prison

Investigate a daring prison break to determine how three escaped criminals got out and where they went. Players gather and combine different types of clues — notes, numbers, symbols and cross-references — to identify escape methods, hiding places, transport methods and gang affiliations. Deductive reasoning and efficient information management produce the correct numerical code or key that confines the criminals again. Play emphasizes careful synthesis of multiple hint types over speed, with players comparing solutions to see who pieces the case together most precisely.
