"IT: CHAPTER 2" ESCAPE ROOM EXPERIENCE BRINGS MORE SPOOKY TO SIN CITY
Escape rooms can be a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, the fun and teamwork required to solve puzzles and “escape” to the next room is novel and fun. On the other, there is no real urgency in these rooms as you’re often competing only against the clock and/or another team. Well, the folks at Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment and Egan Escape Productions have solved that problem and then some with their newest Las Vegas attraction, Escape IT Chapter Two!
Building off the success of the first Escape IT Chapter One, this new escape room meet haunted house hybrid is one of the many reasons why Vegas is becoming a destination of choice for genre fans who want more out of the city than drinking and gambling. Check out the press release and trailer below, and keep an eye out for our review of Escape IT Chapter Two soon!
Beep, Beep! It’s time to float…again! Escape IT Chapter Two is now open. Prepare for another ultimate scare, Pennywise fans. Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment and Egan Escape Productions have joined forces to bring fans a second installment of the highly successful escape room experience, Escape IT, which opened in early 2023. This time, the experience is inspired by New Line Cinema’s “IT Chapter Two,” the terrifying sequel to the highest-grossing horror film of all time.
Located off Symphony Parkway and Martin Luther King Blvd. in Las Vegas, signs of significant landmarks from the films will immediately welcome guests and transport them to the town of Derry. Spanning more than 30,000 square feet, Escape IT Chapter Two will continue revolutionizing the traditional escape room experience, offering fans a multi-room escape adventure that brings to life New Line’s blockbuster sequel to “IT." Featuring rooms inspired by the Jade of the Orient restaurant, the Derry Canal Days Midway, and Pennywise's lair, this extraordinary attraction boasts more than 16 interactive rooms, incorporating cutting-edge special effects, lighting, animatronics, and live actors to craft an utterly immersive and spine-chilling encounter.
This thrilling experience reimagines iconic scenes from the second film, with various “easter eggs” and nods to the first film and first escape experience. The lobby area is also home to a multitude of props from the actual set, such as the bikes the children rode in the film and the letter from Stanley featured at the end of the film, as well as the authentic Pennywise costume.
In addition to the escape experiences, Escape IT Chapter Two includes carnival-style midway games and a full-scale “IT” themed retail store complete with photo ops and exclusive custom merchandise.
“It’s been such a thrill working with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment and having them trust me with their characters and story and be able to bring this one-of-a-kind experience to the city of Las Vegas,” said Jason Egan, owner of Egan Escape Productions. “We are driven by our dedication to crafting the most imaginative and engaging encounters, and this latest venture promises to be our most chilling offering yet. Prepare to be greeted by Pennywise the Dancing Clown as you step into the eeriness of the town of Derry.”
