The pop - up escape room — featuring artistic creation and objects directly from the set of the moving picture , a reception field inspired by the film ’s Greek estate setting , and three surprisingly hard timed teaser challenges — is free forRSVPor walk - in client from now until December 23 , when Rian Johnson ’s murder mystery sequel formally terra firma on Netflix .
As you make your manner through the three teaser rooms , the jaundiced - ascot fag out staff will guide you in each challenge , giving instructions , advice , and also casually film you out with withering archeological site at your attainment and memory as you inevitably struggle to complete the target . You are wait to hack open a Puzzle Box , discharge a high - stakes test of memory set in a room adorned with some of the prowess own by Ed Norton ’s flashy tech billionaire Miles Bron inGlass Onion , and croak a final psychometric test of observation and deduction at a sumptuously appointed dinner table .
Each time you fail a test — and you are very , very potential to go wrong — one penis of your company is yanked by , pulled at random off of your team and into the inner hallway of the storage warehouse . They are not eliminated , though ; there is more they can do to aid or maybe hinder your team from the other side of the experience .
