Dallas is one of 3 cities to get new Hulu TV crime show escape room
Only Murders in the Building
A new escape room coming to a Dallas-area venue is inspired by a Hulu TV crime show: The show is Only Murders in the Building, starring Selena Gomez, and the escape room will open at The Escape Game in Grapevine Mills Mall on Saturday, February 8.
The escape room experience revolves around the show’s three characters, famously played by Selena Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve Martin.
In one hour, players need to find a film reel that has disappeared, which has evidence about a fictional murder — digging through hidden doorways, secret passageways, and other immersive elements.
The storyline is as follows:
The production of the Only Murders in the Building Movie is in jeopardy! The film reel, containing crucial scenes, has mysteriously disappeared from the set. Without it, Oliver's career could be over, and the movie will be a disaster. Desperate to find the missing reel, the trio-Oliver, Charles, and Mabel-need your help. Search through the intricately designed movie set, uncover hidden clues, and solve puzzles to track down the missing film reel. Your keen observation and detective skills are essential to saving the movie!
The Only Murders-themed escape room was created in 2024 and has residencies in only two other cities: Los Angeles and New York. Grapevine will be the third.
Tickets are $40 with a limited-time introductory price of $32 and can be purchased online.
Only Murders has been a smash hit thanks to its unlikely casting of Short and Martin paired with Gomez. It has also attracted a fun roster of high-profile guest stars such as Melissa McCarthy, Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria, Kumail Nanjiani, and Zach Galifianakis, Tea Leoni.
“We could not be more excited to be teaming up once again with Hulu to bring the world of Only Murders in the Building to Texas,” says Escape Game CMO and co-founder Jonathan Murrell in a statement. “The series gave us endless possibilities to create an adventure full of unexpected turns and thrilling surprises. We hope the escape room fulfills fans’ desiresimmerse themselves even further in the world of the show, offering an exciting and interactiway to connect with the story and characters they love.”
