An Escape This production

In short: Murder Van is a concept horror escape room in Escape This’s serial killer series. Your group is trapped in the back of a killer’s panel van with one hour to get out before the drive ends. It is destined for Escape This Northbridge in late 2027; the exact date, prices and team sizes are not announced.

The call-out

He said he’d let you in

Nobody remembers the face. People remember the van: white, dented, signwritten with a promise that sounds kind at two in the morning. Locked out? We’ll let you in.

Your group took him up on it. The sliding door rolled shut behind you with a soft, well-oiled click, and the engine started before anyone thought to ask where the tools were.

Now there is ribbed steel under you, a grille between you and the driver, and a police scanner murmuring in the cab. Somebody before you scratched marks into the floor. Read them before the hour runs out.

FAQ

Murder Van: first questions

What’s the nightmare at the heart of Murder Van?

In Murder Van your group is trapped in the cargo hold of a serial killer’s panel van while he drives. You have one hour, the length of the trip, to find a way out before the van reaches wherever he is taking you. It is a concept horror escape room Escape This is developing for Northbridge.

What is inside the Murder Van’s cargo hold?

The Murder Van concept fills the hold with the killer’s working kit: a ribbed steel floor, a coil of cable ties, a torch, a pegboard of keys on numbered tags and a grille looking through to the cab, where a police scanner crackles beside a road map marked in red.

How much time is on the Murder Van’s clock?

One hour. Escape This has confirmed that Murder Van gives players 60 minutes, and the story frames that hour as the drive itself. When the van stops for the last time, the Night Locksmith opens the doors from outside.

Who do the papers call the Night Locksmith?

The Night Locksmith is Murder Van’s killer: a man who answers late-night lockout calls in a white panel van and drives away with whoever accepts his help. Nobody has a description of his face, only of the van and the words painted on its side.

Just how dark does Murder Van get?

Very. Escape This describes Murder Van as claustrophobic, scary and intense, and it is being built as extreme horror rather than a gentle spook. The exact age rule and any content warnings will be published when bookings open.

Which venue is the Murder Van headed for?

Murder Van is destined for Escape This Northbridge at 48 Lake Street, Northbridge WA 6003, in late 2027. Northbridge is the only venue Escape This has named for it so far.
