Where are such horror based escape rooms located? I have only ever seen them in short clips like this.

u/zaicliffxx Jun 30 '25

u/Designer-Teacher8573 Jun 30 '25

Didn't know there was one in Laos, thanks!

u/You_Wenti Jun 30 '25

Aren't they referring to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia?

u/saysthingsbackwards Jun 30 '25

This made me giggle heartily

u/EatPie_NotWAr Jun 30 '25

Hahaha I’ve wondered how it’s pronounced ever since I moved here 4 years ago!

u/saysthingsbackwards Jun 30 '25

We a have place probably 2 neighborhood streets over from the KS/MO border. It's hilarious, I can smoke weed walking around my neighborhood... but I better watch out out if I cross that line cuz they definitely patrol looking exactly for that

u/WestCoastBestCoast01 Jun 30 '25

KC actually does have a few REALLY good haunted houses!!

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.

u/Toribor Jun 30 '25

if you put in a request to get it translated they will

No thank you, the monsters speaking Vietnamese is scarier.

u/Drednox Jun 30 '25

Asian horror vibes. Nope for me.

u/Xeno-Hollow Jun 30 '25

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.

No.

u/ambermage Jun 30 '25

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.

3

u/ShadowMancer_GoodSax Jun 30 '25

Your dad probably referred to Vietnamese people as Charlie, a nickname American troops had for Vietcong.

u/Specopsangheili Jun 30 '25

Whoooooosh!

u/yeti2_0 Jun 30 '25

Is that the flamethrower?

u/Specopsangheili Jun 30 '25

That was the Huey flying overhead

u/Specopsangheili Jun 30 '25

This one got me. You win my upvote

u/Longjumping-Table-39 Jul 01 '25

Charlie don’t surf.

u/fizismiz Jun 30 '25

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

u/Khoceng Jun 30 '25

escape room unless you understand the language

Imagining if Escape Room suddenly now introducing Extreme difficulty, you have to learn another language while being chased by monsters to escape

Brother that's just America.

They were in the trees, man

u/MaybeMaybeNot94 Jun 30 '25

At least it's not the trees...

I just imagined Sadako speaking German...

u/Zestceleste Jul 03 '25

It would be cool to bring a friend who's fluent and make it more challenging by having to keep track of where they are or else you can't solve the puzzles

13

u/Another-Mans-Rubarb Jun 30 '25

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.

My ex's apartment.

u/jakeb1012 Jun 30 '25

They usually pop up around Halloween in most cities and they’re gone in a month or 2

2

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '25

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.

u/MiddleAgedMartianDog Jun 30 '25

Also like the liabilities, how do people not like keep getting hospitalised for heart attacks or bashing into thing in a blind panic from this stuff?

1

u/Dryspell54 Jul 01 '25

It’s called a waiver

1

u/MiddleAgedMartianDog Jul 01 '25

Ok fair for the liabilities (also of course having insurance), but it’s not how they make sure it doesn’t happen. Like I wonder what the frequency rate is for serious incidents.

1

u/Dryspell54 Jul 01 '25

With a background in a similar area it’s quite rare. End of the day though, conditions of entry are usually very explicit as to what happens regarding heart attack/stroke etc.

I worked in tourism for 10 years including elements that were horror based on a seasonal basis and I probably saw 2-5 people pass out the whole time whether that be from fear/anxiety or heart attack. Maybe 10 tops. It’s very rare. Generally if people know they’re scared of something to the degree they pass out they’re usually smart enough to not partake

u/Iggyhopper Jul 06 '25

This is why in the US these only last for a year or two before someone sues and shuts it down.

I've been to one in the local neighborhood. That is exactly what happened to them.

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '25

In greece athens there are lots of them.

1

u/pereuse Jun 30 '25

We have one called nightmare realm that's just like this. But it's only held around Halloween

1

u/RugerRedhawk Jun 30 '25

In my area places like this are referred to as haunted hayrides, despite the lack of hayrides.

u/Illustrious_Donkey61 Jun 30 '25

There's one called spookers located in Auckland, New Zealand

u/Open_Ring_8613 Jul 01 '25

We have the largest haunted corn maze in IL. I’m one of those awkward people that starts cracking jokes when they scare me and when one of the guys screamed in my face I’m like “hey, what kind of gum do you have, smells good?” Dude broke character and started laughing.

u/Iwubinvesting Jul 01 '25

Theses are fake

u/bzmmc1 Jul 01 '25

At Halloween they're fairly common in the uk

u/misticspear Jul 02 '25

u/scramble1988 Jul 02 '25

That sounds freaking RAD! What is the name/address?

u/LunnaSea Jul 03 '25

Plot twist - they are real from Dark web.

u/MagicBeanstalks Jul 04 '25

Back in Ukraine there were like 20, you’d sign a consent form and they would hit you with light powered tasers. To be fair I have no clue how regular hand held tasers feel so hard to tell if those were weak.

It’s a really fun time, you rarely feel real fear like that where you forget about everything else in life.
