Prison Island, a different kind of Halloween adventure in Benalmádena
If you’re looking for a different way to celebrate Halloween in Benalmádena, Prison Island offers a combination of adventure, problem-solving and action, perfect for enjoying with friends or family. Located in the Puerto Marina Shopping Centre, this entertainment venue offers two experiences that go far beyond a conventional escape room.
- Prison Island: 26 cells and 53 challenges. This first experience invites participants to form teams of 3 to 5 people and tackle physical, technical and mental challenges in different cells. From crossing unstable surfaces and finding hidden objects to cracking codes and solving puzzles against the clock, each challenge requires skill, strategy and teamwork. The aim is to score as many points as possible before time runs out.
- Laser Island: a laser battle in a maze. For those who prefer action, Laser Island offers team battles in a 200-square-metre indoor arena equipped with obstacles, smoke effects and atmospheric lighting. Players wear vests and use laser guns to tag their opponents, dodge incoming shots and help their team secure victory. Each game lasts six minutes, guaranteeing plenty of intensity.
Visitors who want to enjoy both activities can also choose the Prison Island and Laser Island combo package, which includes a 90-minute escape room session, three laser tag games and a drink.
It’s an ideal way to add a touch of adventure to Halloween, whether you’re with a group of friends or looking for an original alternative to traditional celebrations with the family. It’s also a great option for birthday parties and group gatherings.
