‘Only Murders in the Building’ Escape Game
Everyone’s favorite murder mystery parody of true crime podcasts makes the jump from TV to IRL with this Only Murders in the Building escape room. Part of the Westfield Century City will flip into a faux movie set, where you’ll be tasked with tracking down a missing film reel.
Held about a week after the season four debut of the Hulu series, this second iteration of an OMITB escape room (which is coming to New York, as well) has put together an entirely new mystery and setting: an hour-long investigation of a movie set, where Oliver, Charles and Mabel are trying to find a missing reel to save both the in-universe movie adaptation of their podcast, as well as Oliver’s career. You can expect hidden bookcase doorways and secret passageways mixed in with easter eggs from the Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez series.
You’ll find the event starting on September 7 at the Escape Game, located on the second floor of the mall, between Bloomingdale’s and Anthropologie. Unlike last year’s debut event, this one isn’t free: Tickets cost $50, though you can save $10 during the presale period; bookable time slots open up on August 27.
