Horror enthusiasts in Las Vegas rejoice: Egan Escape and Warner Bros. are teaming up to offer a chilling new attraction in the city.
Named After a Horror Icon, Escape IT Thrills in Las Vegas
Stepping into a chilling nightmare, the long-awaited IT-themed escape room, Escape IT, has finally cast its terrifying spell on the entertainment capital, Las Vegas.
A Gigantic Leap in Escape Room Experiences
Sprawling across an impressive 30,000 square feet, Escape IT presents a revolutionary spin on traditional escape room engagements. Fostered by the minds of Jason Eagon, mastermind behind Fright Dome and the Saw escape room, alongside entertainment powerhouse Warner Bros., this nightmarish labyrinth captivates visitors with its spine-tingling connection to one of the most bone-chilling film franchises — "IT," plucked from Stephen King's eerie mindscape.
Escape IT provides not one, but two pulse-pounding multi-room escapades that seemingly materialize the movie's most iconic settings, such as the notorious Neibolt House, the cozy hovel of the Losers' Club, the Derry Canal Days Festival, and the sewers of Derry lurking beneath. The attraction enthralls guests with 20 intricately designed rooms brimming with high-tech special FX, lighting, animatronics, and live actors to weave a seamless web of terror around them.
With the cursed town of Derry inviting you to rescue the missing children, there is no turning back. The moment you venture forth to confront Pennywise, the dreaded Dancing Clown, is the moment your heart races and adrenaline surges.
Only partial ventures are available to the public now, with the remaining horrors of IT Chapter Two set to unleash themselves later this year. In addition to the terror, revel in carnival-inspired games and an extensive retail outlet teeming with IT-themed merchandise, photo opportunities, and exclusive trinkets.
Experience Escape IT at the intersection of Symphony Parkway and Martin Luther King Blvd. Tickets to this horrifying experience start at $54.99.
A Partnership Born from Fear
Egan Escape Productions and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment are the forces that brought Escape IT to terrifying life. Peter van Roden, Warner Bros.' senior vice president of Themed Entertainment, expresses excitement at collaborating with Egan Escape Productions; his words exuding the alliance's prowess in elevating immersive horror to new heights.
Jason Egan, head honcho at Egan Escape Productions, echoes similar sentiments, basking in their partnership with Warner Bros. Alongside his team, they're ecstatic to bring the gruesome inhabitants of the IT universe to life.
Egan Escape Productions prides itself on creating innovative and interactive experiences, and Escape IT promises to be their most petrifying endeavor yet. The greeting by Pennywise the dancing clown, a creature you'd rather not encounter, is an unforgettable moment that Egan's team longs to share with you.
Egan Escape Productions has previously conjured up other escapades inspired by infamous movie franchises such as SAW Escape and Escape Blair Witch.
