Enter at Your Own Risk: The ‘Backrooms Immersive Experience’ Opens Ahead of the Philippine Release of A24-CreaZion Studios Horror Event Backrooms

The nightmare is becoming real.

Ahead of the highly anticipated Philippine release of Backrooms, CreaZion Studios is bringing horror fans face-to-face with the terror through the “Backrooms Breakout,” an immersive horror escape room happening for a limited time only from May 23 to June 7 at Shangri-La Plaza, Mandaluyong City.

Inspired by the viral horror phenomenon that terrified millions online, the experience plunges guests into the eerie, endless maze of yellow corridors and unsettling liminal spaces that made the Backrooms a global obsession. Participants will navigate distorted hallways, mysterious rooms, and an atmosphere designed to make every step feel wrong.

Built as a chilling lead-up to the film’s Philippine premiere, the attraction invites fans to physically enter the world of Backrooms before it arrives exclusively in cinemas on June 3, 2026.
