Only Murders in the Building Escape Game Is Coming To New York and Los Angeles

Only Murders in the Building is providing its fans another Escape Room experience on both coasts. The Hulu Original series is gearing up for its fourth season, taking the main cast of Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez from their home in New York City to Los Angeles as they work to solve another murder mystery. Last year saw a collaboration between Only Murders in the Building and The Escape Game, where fans got to attend a pop-up escape room experience in Los Angeles, and the reception to it was so positive that the two companies are doing it again.

The Only Murders in the Building activation from The Escape Game opens in Midtown Manhattan on August 30th, followed by a return to Westfield Century City Mall in Los Angeles on September 7th. Both activations are inspired by Season 4 of the multi-Emmy Award-Winning Hulu Original comedy series. Presale starts August 27th offering 20% off tickets. You can sign up for tickets exclusively at Only Murders in the Building  and through The Escape Game website here.
