Joey Graceffa’s ‘Escape The Night’ Spawns Actual Escape Room In L.A. This August

In a case of life imitating art, Joey Graceffa’s long-running YouTube Premium series, Escape The Night, has spawned an actual escape room in Los Angeles that will open its doors later this summer.

It’s a fitting business move — and one that Graceffa announced just as season four of Escape The Night dropped in conjunction with the kick-off of VidCon, as it does every year. Escape The Night is essentially one season-long escape room, in which YouTube luminaries — bedecked in themed attire and assuming new personas every season — must solve a series of challenges and riddles to avoid being murdered by evil creatures. (For the uninitiated, escape rooms are real-life, team-based adventure games where players must work together to solve puzzles).

“I’m very proud to announce Escape The Night: Los Angeles, a brand-new escape room coming this August for a limited time,” Graceffa tweeted yesterday. “Prepare to experience Escape The Night in real life.”
