Hounds "Escape Game Experiences" share the most similarities with traditional escape rooms. However there are a number of differences including: Live actor hosts entertain you from start to finish, as well as immerse you into their worlds. Extended experiences mean it won't be the traditional 60 minute in-and-out. "I hope we get out" doesn't apply. Guided and tailored gameplay ensures you get to enjoy everything included in the experience. Full immersion is forefront. You truly will #LeaveRealityBehind You're never "locked in" and are free to leave and rejoin the experiences at any time. "The Acid Bath Murderer Experience" features Escape Room style challenges, but the format follows a "Live Experience" style structure of activities alongside scheduled theatrical and cinematic moments.
