Universal Orlando Resort has been offering fans countless ways to immerse themselves in their favorite movies over the decades, but the park has now launched the all-new Universal's Great Movie Escape at Universal CityWalk, which are escape rooms that put your love of movies to the test. The two rooms honor two of the most beloved properties at Universal, Jurassic World and Back to the Future, and each room features randomized clues that can create an entirely unique experience for fans who come back for repeat attempts at escaping. You can head to the Universal's Great Movie Escape website to purchase tickets, with the rooms open now.

Per press release, "Universal's Great Movie Escape is now officially open at Universal CityWalk -- bringing an entirely new level of escape room experience to Universal Orlando Resort. Created by the same masterminds behind some of the destination's most exciting and innovative entertainment, Universal's Great Movie Escape is comprised of two distinct, cinematic escape adventures inspired by Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment's iconic Jurassic World and Back to the Future films -- each boasting eight immersive environments that feature state-of-the-art challenges, detailed sets and captivating storylines that allow guests to step into blockbuster films like never before.

"Universal's award-winning entertainment team partnered closely with escape room industry experts and the visionary Jurassic World and Back to the Future filmmakers to create this innovative experience that goes beyond the typical escape room. One of the unique features of Universal's Great Movie Escape is the variety of challenges guests must work together to complete, with each one specifically crafted so that the experience is enjoyable for novices and escape room aficionados alike. The activities within both adventures are:

• randomized – so the solution can vary with each visit
• story-driven – as guests must complete tasks as part of an immersive original story
• customizable depending on party size – ensuring everyone gets to participate
• adjustable based on skill level and complexity – so there's always a challenge to solve

The adventure begins as soon as guests enter the art deco, theater-inspired venue, where they'll immediately be swept into one of the following experiences:

Jurassic World: Escape

• Guests are new geneticists at a secret lab on Isla Nublar, where they are undergoing training that includes the completion of various day-to-day tasks that range from feeding ferocious dinosaurs to splicing dinosaur DNA to create new genetic codes...until they learn an apex predator has broken free and now they must work together to avoid becoming its prey.
  

Back to the Future: OUTATIME

• Guests are transported to a museum in 1993, where they learn Back to the Future's antagonist, Biff, is up to his antics and has stolen Doc Brown's newest time travel device to sabotage the space-time continuum. Guests must work together to uncover Doc Brown's clues as they travel through time to track down Biff and save the past and future before they run "outatime." 
  

Tickets for Universal's Great Movie Escape start at $49.99 per person, plus tax for access to either Jurassic World: Escape or Back to the Future: OUTATIME (experience includes up to six guests per group and may include multiple parties). Pricing varies depending on date and time of visit. Guests may also book a private experience exclusive for their party starting at $300 per group, plus tax (up to eight people). 

You can head to the Universal's Great Movie Escape website to purchase tickets.
