TV Escape Room – General Hospital

TV Escape Room

Back on November 20th 2018, American soap opera General Hospital aired an episode where many of the main characters attended an escape room as a joint bachelor/bachelorette party.

I’ve linked a Youtube playlist here which includes all the clips of the tv escape room in play.

Plus I kept track of my thoughts as I watched it, just for fun.

Enjoy!

• Port Charles Manor of Mayhem – that’s a great escape company name.
• I think this ringer knows less about playing escape rooms and more about sleeping with the ladies.
• This escape room doesn’t have anywhere to put their coats? That sucks.
• Yessss to the bored employee reading the game script they know by heart but have lost all will to live.
• One of these mannequin’s person’s real life person victim whatever, they’re going to turn out to be alive aren’t they?
• Using local crime stories hits a little too close to home for these players doesn’t it.
• Oh noooo they’re locked in, what?!?!?
• They need Escape Room Master.
• We’re trapped in here for the night? Oh lord.
• “One way we can definitely get out of here. Beat the game!” Yes. That’s the point.
• “It’s just a gum wrapper – do you think it’s a clue?” Some of those Red Herrings maybe…
• Feeling up the mannequin eh? Typically those mannequins would be naked and in pieces on the floor by now.
• Soap opera has to maintain ominous long stares to build tension before a commercial break – but those don’t happen in escape rooms because people are usually yelling.
• Helps that these people were friends with the murder victims, and murderers, they know all the details.
• Intelligent Electronic Lock – where can you get one of those?
• BLACKLIGHT ALERT BLACKLIGHT ALERT
• Dude you didn’t even turn it on – oh there we go.
• I’m glad no one asked what you use a floppy disk for.
• “Diego – the text message killer right?” Geez this town has issues.
• Man that’s a great prop phone
• I’m quite enjoying how the score is amping tension as if they’re really in danger, and not for hilarious adrenaline like players usually experience haha.
• Hidden room ALERT
• 6 minutes oh no! This door is locked too? Wow what a surprise.
• There’s like 4 puzzles in each game. No way this took them an hour.
• Ominous buh buh buhhhhh
• “Are there any clues we haven’t used yet?” – This guy’s the real ringer
• Sorry what? Ice Princess? I mean I guess, but that’s some serious logic jumping
• Oh god if confetti fell from the ceiling every time a group won? The cleanup… the reset!! And in the lobby?!?
• Oooh villainous twins – and of course this whole experience leads to the show hinting the villain is still alive.

For a TV Escape Room – That was cute overall. I approve!
