iam8bit’s “Resident Evil Escape Experience” is Going on Tour!
Just before Halloween I wrote about iam8bit’s “Resident Evil Escape Experience.” I loved every minute of it and it still holds up as my favorite escape room experience. The big issue was that by the time I was able to write about it, the event was sold out and only a few more slots were going to be added. That’s why I’m excited to report the experience is going on tour!
The coolest thing about the experience is that while it’s branded as a “Resident Evil 7 biohazard” [review] event, it pulls equally from all the best games in the series. If there’s an iconic environment you’ve been dying to see come to life from the game series, chances are you won’t leave disappointed. I’m not sure if the puzzles have changed much since October, but at the time I thought they found a perfect balance between making you sit there scratching your head and being so easy that you just fly right through.
Event dates and locations are below. The San Francisco, Boston and Austin dates line up with some GDC, PAX East and SXSW, so if you’re planning on being at any of those, leave a night open to check out the experience! If you’d like to purchase tickets, just click right here.
San Francisco, CA: February 8 – March 5
Portland, OR: February 8 – March 5
New York, NY: February 22 – March 19
Boston, MA: February 22 – March 19
Chicago, IL: March 8 – April 2

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
