Escape Rooms hit a surge in popularity over the last 5 years -- you get locked in a room
-- which is usually themed -- and you have a set amount of time to solve puzzles in order
to escape -- and if you don’t -- well --- I doubt you’re watching the video now.
All rooms are interactive -- some even include actors chasing after you or even attempting
to find you -- which is often why these rooms surpass haunted houses in popularity these
days.
So today on Top 5 Scary Videos we’re going to be listing off some of the scariest with
our list of the Top 5 Scariest Escape Rooms.
Let’s jump in.
5 Bates Motel As we all know Hitchcock’s 1960’s horror
Psycho is one of the scariest films ever made.
And for those thrill seekers that would give an arm to spend a night in Bates Motel -- well
-- now you can -- to an extent.
In Westchester, Pennsylvania you can partake in an escape room modeled after Bates Motel
-- where that oh so infamous shower scene takes place.
Team Members must navigate the Bates Manor, where gold is hidden somewhere in a safe.
The goal?
Well -- you must reach the safe before Mr. Bates returns -- which could be at any moment.
Obviously the story differs from the original film -- but the premise is just downright
terrifying.
4 The 13th Gate In Baton Rouge, Louisiana you can find the
13th Gate which contains six different escape rooms for guests to choose from.
Each as spooky as the last.
Most of the rooms play on the fears of being trapped against your will -- making each room
claustrophobic for the participants.
Each room takes 60 minutes to complete and some of the room options range from: being
trapped in a dark room behind a closed door, searching for a long lost prisoner on death
row, and trying to escape an insane asylum before enduring a frontal lobotomy.
3 The 13th Floor There seems to be a trend here.
Found in Chicago -- this escape room is in one of the city’s most haunted houses and
offers up two equally sinister rooms.
The Jack the Ripper Room and The Illusion Manner.
The former -- obviously -- playing on the timeless fear of the London serial killer.
Participants have an hour on the streets of London to stop the killer before he slays
another victim.
You will be taunted by Jack throughout as he brags that he will never be caught -- and
honestly -- he’s not wrong.
The Illusion Manner is more of a biblical escape room and plays on the cultural fears
of demons and the occult.
Participants are put in a Victorian Mansion and are forced to prevent a demon from entering
into the living world.
2 Black Plague You can find this terrifying room in North
Carolina.
Based specifically on the legendary bubonic plague.
You have the options of two rooms, The Plague Room and The Cure Room.
In both you will be forced to run away from the Plague Doctor during which time you will
be chased by plague zombies.
Terrifying.
Now -- unlike many escape rooms -- this one allows for the actors to touch you -- though
they do promise they won’t hurt you.
I’m not so sure.
Participants must sign a waiver prior to entering so they agree to the touching terms and conditions.
However -- participants are not allowed to touch the actors -- and will be penalty for
doing so.
Touch an actor and the game ends -- your character is now dead.
1 Cannibal Killer Escape Room This gruesome escape room can be found in
Los Angeles.
The premise?
You are held captive by a grisly serial killer -- and of course -- you must escape before
you meet a gruesome fate.
Participants are hooded and led into a cage before the game begins -- following that you
are forced to solve various puzzles in order to out-maneuver the killer.
You have 45 minutes -- if you fail -- you’re capture, caged, and consumed.
Well, hopefully not really but that’s a risk you’ll just have to take.
Well, there we have it!
