A night in the prison

Did you ever wonder what it would be like to spend a night in a small cell? What feelings and thoughts a person must have closed in a cramped place behind bars? Your wildest dreams may come true with us. You will receive a blanket and a mess tin; it’s only up to you how you deal with the small cell full of dirt and despair. A mug shot as well as a surprise interrogation is included. After a night spent on the hard bunk, you will receive a full prisoners breakfast. Upon leaving, you can leave a note on the wall as well as receive your mug shot and a document of proof of fulfilling your sentence.

Become a border guard

Become a border guard, green uniform, insignia, machinegun and all. Together with your commander, you will head out to guard the state border! You will learn the old border paths leading through vineyards. You will see the view of the land under the Palava Mountain and realise how difficult it was to guard the infamous Iron Curtain. During your watch you will eat real military rations and for lunch you will be served a gulash into your mess tin. Made by a cook who used to cook for the border guard. If you will be fast and witty enough, you may even manage to catch an intruder and put him into a dirty cell!
