Escape from the Overlook Hotel: The Op Releasing ‘The Shining’-Themed At-Home Escape Room Game!

Published

on

This year marks 40 years of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining and we’ve learned today that The Op is celebrating with a brand new Shining-themed at-home escape room game!

The Shining: Escape from the Overlook Hotel is being billed as “the ultimate chance for fans to test their puzzle-solving skills,” and it’s headed our way this coming Fall.

Check into this immersive, real-time activity for adrenaline junkies and mystery solvers alike and experience what it’s like to flee for your life! The Shining: Escape from the Overlook Hotel puts one or more players in the roles of the unhinged writer’s wife and son, Wendy and Danny, who must work together and find a way out of the mysterious resort!

Can you get Wendy and Danny out of the Overlook Hotel while avoiding the axe-wielding Jack?

Driven by the Coded Chronicles mechanic, which requires you to unlock clues and solve puzzles for unique storytelling codes, the game allows you to use psychic abilities like “the shining” to get through more than two challenging hours of escaping the threat of homicidal Jack and the paranormal hotel itself! Since every Coded Chronicles game is enriched with thematic details and objectives, escaping captivity makes this edition’s difficulty level as hard as a dizzying hedge maze (minus the time limit)!

Designed by Jay Cormier and Sen-Foong Lim (Mind MGMT, Belfort), players can anticipate being engaged with every unpredictable turn, thanks to Wendy and Danny’s heightened abilities, which allow their characters to investigate with double the intuition as characters from the previous Coded Chronicles edition. Use Wendy’s skill of looking and using surrounding objects to get a better hold of helpful items or tap Danny’s supernatural “Shining” to reveal hidden clues.

The Op will also be releasing a 1,000 piece The Shining puzzle this year.
