Escape from prison

‘Mr. X Mystery House’ is a real-life escape game that gives you one hour to solve a series of puzzles and escape from a locked room before rich Chinese businessmen kill you for sport. Okay, well the first part of that is true. The house itself has an open bar and is open until 2 am. Located in the Huangpu district, it is a good idea to take a cab. The best game to play here is the prison-break scenario ‘Angel Island,’ which has some wonderful surprises if you can figure out how it works. Be careful though, like anything in China, there are several knock off Mr. X locations.
