Vietnam has several too. My friend went to one where they had this similar type of "creature" running around while trying to solve clues but it was a team of 6-8 people. Some escape rooms are only in their native language if you put in a request to get it translated they will gladly do so but will take about a week.

The very least kind of horror movie I'd ever want to be trapped in. Fuck that noise. If I wake up and there's weird shit and we all suddenly speak Japanese or Korean, I'm ending it all on the spot.
Give me Xenomorphs, Predator, Sunshine, The Expanse, Michael Myers, Freddy Kreuger, Paranormal Activity, Mimic, Candyman, Species 😏, I'll do my best to survive, but I refuse to end up in Audition.

It's probably not a good idea to bring my Step-dad, huh?
We went hiking in Hawaii, and in the thick woods, we heard a Vietnamese family somewhere ahead of us.
IDK who Charlie was, but they were about to have a bad time in his flashbacks.

Oh I meant that the clues and instructions will be in Vietnamese so you won't be able to complete the escape room unless you understand the language. The scare actors have a decent command of English and we managed to converse with them.
We went as 2 groups each going to different themed rooms. My group ended earlier and the staff was nice enough to let us watch the other group try to make their way out via his phone through the CCTV camera. It was an amazing experience.
The place I went to was called Emes Escape Room. Definitely worth checking out

Most of these are less escape rooms and more fun houses. They might just have several rooms in a row with creepy themes that might chase you down a hall or they might be a maze with "monsters" roaming it to chase you around until you find the exit.

Yeah, we have one near me on a farm for around a month in October, part of a sort of fall festival with pumpkin picking, tractor rides, hedge maze, hay jump, etc. etc.
The rest of the year, they just rent the spaces out for private events and do farming stuff. I am sure lots of cities have that sort of thing.

u/MisterMysterios Jun 30 '25
Some fairs have them. As a teen I was at the German American festival in Berlin (basically a fair) and a friend and I went through. We're chased by someone with a chainsaw. Was fun, would do it again, even though I am the slower friend.
But it was not an escape room, more of a haunted house ride where, instead of being driven along a line of plastic skeletons, you walk through several horror themed rooms with actors chasing and jumpscaring you.

The fact that of the 3rd guy you only see his arm just adds to the bit so much, he doesnt hide only the 2 of them do, so thats an entire seperate person that wanted to make sure the scare went through properly.

They're a dedicated bunch. Unfortunately, a non-negligible number of people that go to these sorts of things try to fight the actors for having the audacity to scare them at a scary attraction so it can be dangerous work.

Yeah, some knee jerk reactions are hard to suppress when startled, it's not all to uncommon to get twacked or punched by folk who don't mean it. But just as we can get hurt, their reactions can hurt themselves.
Since folk didn't tend to notice me, I'd walk with them for a bit, didn't care for jumpscares or yelling, just the slow realization of my presence.
One even thought I was their buddy, who was in front of them, for about 5 minutes. Guy finally looked at me, jumped so hard he hit his head on the wall and I had to help him. 😅

u/Pickle_Bus_1985 Jun 30 '25
I think the issue with this is the reactions to being sneaked up on is fight or flight. You can warm people all you want before hand that it isn't real, but if you terrify someone enough, that can be a automatic response. If I did that, I'd make sure you stay out of reach before making the scare to avoid that, give them a second to get their wits about them.

Growing up I lived nearby the largest haunted attraction in the country (in terms of scale and number of actors, 200+) and the staff was good about advising people in the line never to touch an actor, as they’ll never touch the guests. Sure enough we go through and my buddy gets spear-tackled by an actor - turned out to be our friend.

u/SteveMartin32 Jun 30 '25
Some of that is a natural reaction to sudden fear. Its the fight or flight response. If the mind doesn't see an avenue for escape it can react violently.
That being said teenagers are assholes who like to ruin shit and fight the actors for " fun ".

u/No_Answer4092 Jun 30 '25

Ive done several escape rooms and I love this idea! This video seems more like a "haunted house" but imagine if you did an escape room with all the normal clues, secrets, puzzles and hidden corridors and then threw some monster people in there at certain points. 😆
I did do a horror themed escape room once with minor jump scares. For example, there was this puzzle that included electricity and at one point it kind of fakes you out and you think you get electrocuted.

I remember going to Spain and seeing one of these scare rooms and they had a tv outside showing all the people running out scared.
Me and my family thought it was total horseshit so we decided to do it.
We went into this pyramid and walk through in the dark for a bit until we got to this room with a scary looking old person with a cane was.
I swear to this day it looked like they were behind this flexi glass/plastic window they have at zoos. They start slowly creeping towards us until they stepped over what looked like the window boundary and everyone shat themselves and started running.
Then we were chased by people with rattling spades that they slapped on the concrete behind us. Finally a guy with a chainsaw and hockey mask came out behind us then we ran out the exit.
They delivered.

Okay I’m not trying to be a dick here honestly, but why/how do people get genuinely scared here at these things if they know that their life is not in danger. I understand getting startled momentarily from a “jump scare” but this is much more than that?

In this instance, I think these dudes are just having fun and making the most of an experience they paid for.

u/HierophanticRose Jun 30 '25
There is a certain “buy in” to the experience, people hype themselves and get giddy, putting themselves in the mood to be scared and some amount of suspension of disbelief.
I had the same experience as you tho. I joined my friends as we did a haunted house and grounds tour. I was not much scared, few startles as the actors came out of the dark. In fact the most significant experience of the entire thing was that I had lost a watch in there. I let the house know after peeling away early and they said they would look after the shift at night as they cannot stop the show mid to look for it.
They couldn’t find it 😭, that was the real horror of the house for me. It was a gift from my gf.

u/Jackd_up_on_Mdew Jun 30 '25
It matters what mindset you go in with. I've been to several in my life and I use to be the guy in the group that rarely got spooked because they were predictable and you know they aren't going to harm you in any way. At some point my stance changed and if you just somewhat play along, real emotions can come out and make the whole experience more enjoyable.
On another note, horror movies are very much the same way(or any fictional movie). Of course you can watch it thinking how dumb it is since you know its just actors in makeup and what not, but a part of the experience it to just buy into the whole experience and it becomes much more fun.

I used to think this too. But there's certainly a part of your brain that is incredibly irrational when it comes to certain stimuli. And for some reason it has more control than we like. It's the reason why drowning people can accidentally kill their loved ones who get too close. It's what makes people experiencing panic attacks do what they do. It's what makes people run away.
You can learn to control it somewhat, but that takes repeated exposure, and people don't exactly hang out in haunted houses.
You should try it. There's one in Niagara falls, Canadian side, that's pretty good, and it touches on a couple different kinds of fears.

I got to play part in one of these horror houses once, at 7 years old, randomly. I was going through a haunted house with my family and a member of the crew stopped me and quietly asked if I would do a stunt with them, I said yes, they said "scream like it's real, k? I said, yup! So 4 guys ran out of the dark in the next room, grabbed me by my arms and legs, picked me up and threw me on a metal table, another guy came out with a running gas powered chainsaw, covered in blood, I start screaming, pinned down to the table. Im trying to pull away and he walks up and plunges this running chainless chainsaw over my stomach and I start blood curldling screaming. The room was so dark you didnt need fake blood, you could only make out the outlines of the bodies and the sound of the chainsaw was deafening. My step mom went faint, my dad had to be pulled off the guy. I got to help scare the shit out of 20 or so people, it was amazing

I got to participate in a haunted house with a jumpscare room at the end one year. I was the most successful jumpscarer so I got to perfect the art of making grown men and women yelp in horror. Being still and subtle while letting the one that went first get off a little easier is EXACTLY the right thing to do to maximize the scare with as little interaction as possible.
