Welcome to Dead by Dawn, an intense, blood-splattered escape room experience inspired by the cult classic, groovy dead horror tale. You and your friends thought it would be just another weekend getaway, but when you stumble across a strange tape recorder left behind by the mysterious Professor RK, things take a terrifying turn.
The moment you hit play, a haunting chant from the professor’s recording echoes through the cabin, and the woods awaken with unspeakable evil. Now the clock is ticking. You have just one hour until dawn to stop the nightmare from consuming your souls.
