iam8bit’s “Resident Evil Escape Experience” is Going on Tour!

Published

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

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
