ORLANDO, Fla. — Something has gone horribly wrong at Universal’s Great Movie Escape. Sure, they’re fictional mishaps, and they involve time travel or a genetically engineered dinosaur, but they happen again and again and again — just as its creators planned — inside the new attraction at Universal CityWalk.
The “Jurassic World” and “Back to the Future” film franchises are the inspirations for a series of escape rooms that recently opened to the public. The Universal Orlando preshow calls the experience a “walk-through puzzle adventure.” Participants solve brainteasers related to storylines to keep the space-time continuum from being wrecked or to wrangle a new breed of reptile.
Not to give away any secrets, but Great Movie Escape customers listen to instructions, break down clues, inspect the themed surroundings, use teamwork, then put two and two together to make it into the next room and the next challenge.
