LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A new escape room experience based on one of Stephen King’s most iconic stories has come to Las Vegas, and “It” is open for business!
According to the escape room’s website, bookings are now available for Escape It, a thrilling new experience by Egan Escape Productions, the creators of the Saw Escape and Escape Blair Witch experiences.
Jason Egan, founder of Egan Escape Productions, teamed up with Warner Bros. to create the experience.
Two “heart-pounding” experiences will eventually occupy the 30,000-square-foot space of “pure terror.” One, which is open now, is based on the 2017 film “It,” and a second, coming soon, will be based on the 2019 sequel “It Chapter Two.”

In April of 2022, when the opening was expected in the fall of 2022, the group behind the project said in a news release, “This unparalleled attraction will include more than 20 interactive rooms, state-of-the-art special FX, lighting, animatronics and live actors to create a fully immersive and terrifying experience.”
