Both entrances are style like an quondam - timey cinema with props from both films on display . It really evokes a sense of walking into the movie itself . Stevenson explained , “ The team that [ Universal Creative ] have over at Art and Design is so creatively diverse . They not only lie with escape rooms , but they love these two brands . So it was really just fun for us all to get our hands on this . ”
He continued , line how the system works to key out the gameplay difficulty base on how much each squad can carry through within their given time in each of the room ’s seedpod . “ Every tier is set up up in a way that it just start the right way into the next phase of the challenge . They kind of flow one into the other , and we did that on purpose so [ first - time Edgar Albert Guest ] that descend in can have a really cool experience and just be immersed in the movie and enjoy it . And then people who hump escape rooms come in can unlock all these dissimilar stages and unlock other things . ”
When need if this would allow more seasoned interactive fans to come back for more configurations , Stevenson share that they could inform upon tick - in for a grade of difficulty they ’re more well-heeled with , but urge keeping note of the stage completed . “ You would n’t really know unless we told you at the end , which we will—‘You did this many stages out of this many . ’ And [ you could ] hail back and attempt to get better at it . ” After experience both , I ’d advocate depart out with the standard difficultness ; the fashion of escape way game took some getting used to .

Jurassic World: Escape
I ’m just proceed to say it : Escape is definitely for the untried crowd or the hardcore Jurassic enfranchisement fan . It ’s mostly tablet generation establish , and that ’s on purpose — which I completely get because while Outatime is more stock-still in retro fun , this one is the modern movie spectacle . “ When you go through Jurassic it ’s very technically based , it ’s very tech understanding , a lot of screen door , things like that , ” Stevenson said .
In Jurassic World : Escape , you find yourself in one of InGen ’s secret genetics labs on the day the dinosaurs get loose at the theme park — and because all the professionals empty , it ’s up to you and your squad to help the park guests get to safety . The plot of this one is hilarious because it has “ you ’re the intern who has to fix it ” energy , while you do things like configure dinosaur DNA , break away security , and scat from dinosaurs . Here it really felt more contemporary and more like a digital immersive experience , and it was more obvious the difficulty was engineer by technical school . “ It ’s a really full-grown computer brain . So it not only acknowledge how many people you ’re make in — it’ll variety what it ’s doing based on the amount of people that go through , ” Stevenson excuse , referring to both rooms — but it ’s more patent in Escape . “ There ’s whole other challenge and rooms that if you unlock enough stages , you may do that by coming in and doing the challenge as quickly as possible . We wanted to the whole team do something , everybody has to enter , so that ’s pretty cool . ”
