Alaarm! - made in prison: The game was developed by prisoners in "Santa-Fu" jail in Hamburg/Germany and is (for real) also played in the cells.

It's a reversed Pachisi variant: You start in the middle of the board ("cells") and have to reach the normal starting position ("getaway car").

Players have to hide in gullies, slide through ventilating tubes to reach the getaway car. However, if two sixes are thrown alarm sounds. Then everything have to go back in the cells.

The winner is the first player to move all pawns "out of jail".

A part of the sales profit of the game goes to the support of crime victims (WEISSER RING e.V. - which is a well known organization in Germany).
