Introducing Prison Island Levels

Hi there,

Here comes a major update in the history of Prison Island – and we’re thrilled to finally share it with you. This is the biggest step forward since we first started back in 2004.

And that step is called Levels ✨

We truly believe Levels will transform the way our guests play, talk about, and return to Prison Island. It’s a true game-changer for players, sites, and our development going forward. To give you the full picture, we’ve created a launch video where Anders explains the concept and what it means for the future. We hope you all take the time to watch it below.

🔍 What We’ve Seen So Far

This summer, Levels was successfully tested in Västerås with very positive results. Visitors were thrilled – spending more time at the site and even creating a new kind of buzz: “We reached Level 3 in Basket!”

We’ve kept a close eye on the statistics, and even though these are early results, one thing stands out: guests want to play more when Levels are active. Levels creates a strong desire to replay, giving guests more value from each cell and extending their playing time.

Level 1 also acts as a natural introduction, helping players understand the game better and sparking motivation to continue into higher levels.

📅 The Plan going Forward

Optimization is ongoing, and the next test site will be Oslo as we also prepare for the World Cup Final. By then, 25 cells will feature Levels. From January 2026, all new sites will be installed with Levels, and a dedicated Levels team will support the rollout at existing sites. A detailed implementation plan will be shared in December.

Behind the scenes, all cells are now updated with a new game code (48 in total), running on net-boot for smoother operations.

🚩 Key Information:

Included in the price (1,900 EUR):

• Levels
• Hardware upgrade (router + server)
• New cell signs
• Posters & social media material
• New briefing video
• The Prison Island Story

Levels will be rolled out to all new sites starting January 2026, with implementation at existing sites following the December plan. Together with the implementation plan, we will also provide clear instructions on how to proceed in order to get Levels at your site.

We’re looking forward to the next steps and hope you are too. However, with more than 100 sites worldwide, we kindly ask for your patience as this rollout will take time.

Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions – and we’ll share more in December. 🚀
