The newest interactive craze known as “escape rooms” pits guests in themed environments, from basements to caverns to nuclear control rooms, and leave it to them to find a way out, or simply to survive. To escape, they’ll need to find hidden clues, solve brain rotting puzzles, and sometimes evade the creatures trying to keep them in.

In Escape Room Masters: Trapped In A Room With Your Nightmares, meet the creative architects behind some of LA’s most popular escape rooms to learn what goes into designing these experiences, what makes for great clues and puzzles, and how they’re redefining interactivity in entertainment.

Panelists include Kayden Ressel from The Basement and Nicole DaCosta from Trapped in a Room with a Zombie (Room Escape Adventures).
