From 10am on Saturday 5th September you have 24 hours to raise £500 bail as a team of 2 and escape the prison.
The challenge ends 10am Sunday 6th, and the winner is the team that gets furthest from Dartmoor Prison.

A fun day raising money for Edukid!
You can escape the prison in any way you like!
Walk, cycle, hitchhike, or make use of public transport – this is completely up to you.
However, there’s 1 important rule:
You must not spend any of your own money.
Teams will need to rely on creativity, teamwork, and the kindness of others with their escape, whether that means planning clever routes, securing free lifts, or persuading supporters to help along the way.
The challenge is all about resourcefulness, communication, and adventure as you work together to escape as far as possible without opening your wallet.

Every person will be required to carry a mobile phone (with access to Life 360) and a power bank. GPS must be active at all times so event organisers can track you.
Please do not enter onto the moors as GPS signal will be lost.
A welfare check in will take every 3-4 hours to make sure participants are OK. We expect you to reply to us and keep us updated with your progress.
For calls further afield the appropriate emergency service should be called by your team.
Edukid will provide details closer to the time of the event in regards to kit lists. However, mobile phones, power banks and chargers, waterproofs and appropriate clothing will be key. First aid kits will be needed for each team.
Absolutely! As long as you do not spend your own money!
