Without getting into specifics, I'll just say that each of the multiple rooms oozes SAW fan service. I'm not embarrassed to admit that I became an utter fanboy when Tobin Bell's voice first bellowed out of the speaker.
The GM said that frontloaded the experience with the hardest puzzle, but based on the solution, it didn't feel hard in a good way, but rather just too obscure.Įventually, a masked character came in and ushered us the next area, which is where the SAW stuff really starts. Unfortunately, we spent about 30 minutes trying to figure exactly what this room wanted us to do, and it turns out the initial clue we missed was pretty obtuse (we asked the game master what we missed just so we knew where we went wrong). You'll find lots of corners to navigate, and you never know what will be waiting for you just beyond your field of vision. There's a real sense of dread and tension in these first two rooms. The first room and second room are linked-a breakroom and a locker room. The room where you watch the video is also quite interesting and grotesque (in a good way). The video was quite cool, as it was telling us the rules of the escape room, but masking them in the guise of a meatpacking tour. Unfortunately, the employee in this area didn't have the same commitment to immersion as Shady, but she got us through the process quickly, and then we watched a video with the rules.
Once we finished dealing with Shady and his seemingly limitless amount of death and murder puns, we were ushered into the lobby where we handled the legal formalities like handing over IDs and signing waivers. This really set the scene beautifully and added a lot to the immersion. He insisted that we were there for a tour of the EGAN & Co meatpacking facility. Shady refused to acknowledge that he was an employee of the SAW escape room. Once you realize the butcher shop and meatpacking plant located at the listed address is the SAW escape room, you have to be impressed with their willingness to sacrifice foot traffic in favor of maintaining the story.Īs you walk up to the gate, you're greeted by a security guard-in our case we met Shady. That might sound like a bad thing, but it's a testament to the place's commitment to immersion. We actually drove by the place when we first arrived because there's no indication that the location is a SAW escape room. Into the dark, dingy world of SAW we descended. The ones I didn't see on day one, I still always saw within the first week.Īs you can imagine, when I heard there was an official SAW escape room in Las Vegas, I made it my mission to go through it the next time I found myself in Sin City-and on my way to CES 2020, I found myself there, so I booked a private session for myself and three colleagues.
#Saw escape room movie
I've seen just about every movie on the day it hit theaters. I've seen all of the SAW films and I even love the bad ones in some sort of oddly appropriate form of masochism.
