Warner Bros. Themed Entertainment and Egan Escape Productions have announced ‘Escape IT’, an It-themed escape room experience opening later this year in Las Vegas.
Offering two multi-room adventures across more than 30,000 square feet, ‘Escape IT’ is based on It, the highest-grossing horror film of all time, and the blockbuster sequel, It Chapter Two.
The escape room experience will take fans of the franchise to Derry and bring Pennywise to life. It will also include an It-themed retail store, with photo opportunities and exclusive merchandise.
The interactive rooms are based on some of the iconic locations from Andy Muschietti’s adaptation of Stephen King’s original novel. These include the Losers’ Clubhouse, the haunted Neibolt House, and the sewers below Derry.
“It is one of our most iconic horror film franchises and we cannot wait for fans to be able to come face-to-face with the infamous Pennywise and the town of Derry in a way they’ve never experienced before,” said Peter van Roden, senior VP of Warner Bros. Themed Entertainment.

The experience will feature “more than 20 interactive rooms, state-of-the-art special FX, lighting, animatronics, and live actors”, according to a press release.
“Having the opportunity to work with one of the most iconic and terrifying characters of all time has been a phenomenal venture,” added Jason Egan, owner of Egan Escape Productions.
“It’s an honor to have Warner Bros. Themed Entertainment trust us with their brand and to bring this beloved franchise to life here in the amazing city of Las Vegas.”
Lionsgate also partnered with Egan Escape Productions to create an escape experience in Las Vegas inspired by the Blair Witch film franchise. In addition, Official Saw Escape: Las Vegas launched back in 2018.
