There was only one rule: don’t open the door… until the buzzer sounds.

This rule was printed in yellow on the door itself, along with the following:

Take a pamphlet.

***

Welcome to the world’s most intense escape room experience!

Settle in. Introduce yourselves. Try to get comfy.

You’re welcome to try the door. This is after all an escape room! But you’ll find it quite impossible to open prematurely.

It is held shut with powerful maglocks, which will not disengage until the buzzer sounds, at midnight on October 31st.

That’s 13 days from now, about 312 hours.

There’s no time keeping devices in this room, and you left your electronics in the locker outside, so you’ll have to guess at the passage of time.

On that note it is believed that the average person can survive 14-21 days without food, so fatal starvation wont be an issue for you during your stay… but hunger will and it will be magnified by the paranoia of time crawling by without any measure. So try to keep your heads! Don’t eat each other, no matter how hungry you get or how forgotten you feel.

Ah, one other thing on the subject of time: we’re going to kill the lights two hours after your entry.

So take the grand tour now, before you’re plunged into the long darkness.

You’ll see our modest escape room is largely unfurnished. The walls and floor are mostly bare concrete. However aside from the door there are two items worth noting:

First, the sink. The water is safe to drink! The extra wide drain can accommodate some solids.

Second, the knife on the wall. It’s very real. We’ll leave it to you to decide whether someone should hold it… for safe keeping.

Good luck! Have fun :)
