A leading team-gaming entertainment and adventure chain. Founded in Sweden. Heading for the world.

Through my ventures in the entertainment industry I came across the unique concept Prison Island in Prague. I knew that such a great concept shouldn't be missing in the Middle East where there is a demand for high quality unique experiences. Since getting in touch with the Prison Island team it has been a great journey and felt like family. We quickly found a common language and a couple of months later we have built the first Prison Island in the Middle East in Abu Dhabi, UAE opened in January 2022, and more to come.

It’s a fun activity that barely needs any staff. You can basically run a Prison Island forever since you have the posibility to replace the different cells with new ones and get new games and problems for the customers to solve. Our ambition is to keep maintaining and developing our Prison Island all the time with new cells and an increased amount. Today we have 28 cells but there’s currently a team here at our site replacing and building 6 new cells which will leave us with a total of 31 cells.

I was looking to offer more activities to my customers, and I spoke with Prison Island in March 2018. I was so impressed by the concept that I came to Västerås, Sweden in September and began working on it just after our meeting. The team is very professional, the cells are very inventive and original, and it’s playable again and again. Exactly what I was looking for. Like the missing puzzle piece in my global concept: from boardgame to adventure.

We both instantly loved the whole concept at first sight. We understood the potential of this highly involving game, the low staffing levels and the professional commitment of the Prison Island. After the joy of our first Prison Island in Middelburg, we are searching and working on several locations to find a second spot.

Our Prison Island journey started 2008 when we visited Prison Island in Halmstad when our oldest daughter where there playing soccer. In January 2009 we opened our Prison Island with 26 cells as franchisee number two. Since we are always looking for new fun and adventurous activities for Megazone we thought Prison Island was an amazing concept. Right now we are aiming for rebuilding a few cells and also to open up some new ones. The technology is always evolving and the Prison Island staff is very good at keeping up.

We have a complex of almost 4000m² which includes Prison Island, a bowling alley, a mini golf course, karaoke boxes, a games café and a restaurant. The concept of Prison Island is simply brilliant, we tested it several times and loved it, and immediately wanted to be part of the big family.

We currently have 3 Prison Islands in Norway. Prison Island is a great activity – and being with Prison Island now for 6 years, it’s just getting better. I love the look, the props, lights and components as it’s getting more and more immersive.
