A Guide to the Terrifying "Escape" Rooms in the New Suspense Thriller

Are you ready to play for your life?

In Columbia Pictures’ new suspense thriller Escape Room, directed by Insidious: The Last Key’s Adam Robitel, six strangers (Taylor Russell, Logan Miller, Deborah Ann Woll, Jay Ellis, Tyler Labine, and Nik Dodani) who have chosen to be part of an escape room experience find themselves in a room — no windows, only one door — and it’s locked.  The madman games master (Yorick van Wageningen) who’s locked them in has set up a series of fiendishly clever and difficult puzzles that, when solved in the correct order, will lead to the key and their salvation. And to add to the difficulty, he’s set a ticking clock, with one hour to complete the puzzles and escape… or face the consequences.

New, Exciting Actors Form an Unlikely Team in "Escape Room"

Meet the men of Columbia Pictures’ Escape Room, the new suspense thriller from the director of last year’s worldwide horror hit, Insidious: The Last Key, and produced by the team behind the Fast & Furious series.

In Escape Room, six strangers have chosen to be part of an escape room experience and, they will discover, there’s a mystery that links them all together. Because each of the characters has an independent and unconnected back-story in the narrative, the casting goal of the filmmakers was to find an eclectic group of performers. Playing the men of Escape Room are Logan Miller, Jay Ellis, Tyler Labine, and Nik Dodani, whose characters have to work as a team (together with the characters played by Deborah Ann Woll and Taylor Russell) to successfully escape the mysterious rooms overseen by games master Woo Tan Yu, played by Yorick van Wageningen.

Women Characters Have Each Others' Backs in "Escape Room"

Teamwork is very important in solving puzzles in escape rooms. In Columbia Pictures’ new suspense thriller Escape Room, the only two women in the group tasked to solve the mysteries defy pop culture stereotypes by working well together instead of competing against each other.

(Watch the trailer at YouTube: https://youtu.be/ZhZFiMFH4Yc.)

“I think so many genre films pit women against each other, they get catty and competitive, especially over the boys,” says Deborah Ann Woll, who plays Amanda, an army infantry woman who was wounded in action during an IED explosion and now lives with ongoing trauma.

The young actress, known for her fan-favorite roles in Marvel’s Daredevil and True Blood, says part of the reason she enjoyed making the film is the relationship between the two women in the group. “I love that this was a story about women who are allies, who find strength in one another and are different, distinct people.”

To play a veteran of war, Woll’s research involved visiting forum boards and talking about dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and survivor guilt. “It was a really helpful resource for me,” she says.

Escape Room director Adam Robitel says that the lingering effects of Amanda’s experience is something that all the characters are going through. “From my research, a lot of times PTSD survivors aren’t able to move on from [their traumatic] incidents,” says the director. “They replay it and it affects their lives. For our characters, putting them through the fire literally, they become stronger on the other side.”

The only other female character in the group, Zoey, is played by Taylor Russell. A science student, Zoey is a timid and introspective loner who survived an airplane crash in which her mother was killed. Russell, best known for her work on Netflix’s Lost in Space and the television series Strange Empire and Falling Skies, was excited by the chance to join the project. “Zoey is extremely smart and has a lot of anxiety; she’s trying to navigate alone through this life,” says Russell. “[Director] Adam is a huge horror buff and this is his genre and he really thrives at it. He brought a lot of passion that obviously comes from that love, and that was great to see.”

“It was important that Zoey have a vulnerable quality, but also could turn and rise,” says Robitel. “Taylor Russell just came in and destroyed it. She had everything I wanted — she could portray feeling powerless, but also showed how this character is incredibly smart.”

In Escape Room, six strangers have chosen to be part of the escape room experience and, they will discover, there’s a mystery that links them all together. “They all chose to be there — they haven’t been kidnapped or forced there,” says producer Ori Marmur. That said, they all get more than they bargained for. “They all go there expecting one thing and then it becomes a very different thing entirely.”

We Tried The "FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano" Escape Room - Did We Succeed?

The popularity of “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” is undeniable and still dominates Primetime TV, and one way to channel the show's influence is to make it interactive. How about if it would be made into an escape room? Sounds interesting.

We were treated to try the first local-TV adapted escape room at Left Behind PH located at Ayala Malls Vertis North. Based on Ang Probinsyano's premise of Cardo finding ways in the complicated and dangerous world of crime, politics, drugs, and the underground world.
