About the escape room

We are in the year 1974, a time marked by oppression and censorship. Portugal was until then a country ruled by a strong dictatorship, in which a severe political police, the PIDE (International Police for State Defense), operated clandestinely, under orders from the government, when everyone thought it would have already been extinct. You and your group have been captured for communist practices against the government, with an attack taking place against the highest chiefs of PIDE and you are suspected of being involved in this event. Within 60 minutes you will be interrogated to find out who ordered this attack. Will you be able to escape from the prison before the terrible torture that awaits you?
