Deadline Escape Rooms is a Reno, Nevada escape room company that designs and operates immersive, themed escape experiences. The business offers a rotating lineup of horror and mystery rooms—Freakshow, Dead Silence, Camp Ruby Lake, Witch Doctor, and Noir—each created for groups, team building, and recreational play. Deadline Escape Rooms builds detailed sets such as a vintage Big Top Tent for Freakshow and a Louisiana Bayou shack for Witch Doctor, and stages timed puzzle challenges that require observation, logic, and teamwork.
Sessions accommodate a range of group sizes; Freakshow supports teams of up to 12 players. Witch Doctor features a one-hour rescue scenario where players attempt to free a trapped voodoo priestess from the spirit world. Camp Ruby Lake presents two distinct campfire stories—Cabin 8 or a legendary creature hunt—designed for suspenseful, story-driven play. Dead Silence places players in a dark basement setting focused on stealth and tense puzzle solving. Information for Noir is listed among available experiences; specific details are provided directly by Deadline Escape Rooms.
