Designed for both longtime fans and newcomers alike, the interactive adventure will bring the humor, intrigue and unexpected twists of Only Murders in the Building into the real world. Expect hidden passageways, familiar props and clever nods to the show throughout.” For more details, visit theescapegame.com.

Our beloved trio of true crime-solving podcasters must now navigate their way through the home of the cozy murder mystery, replete with a whole new collection of suspicious and particularly English-eccentric characters. But can they follow in the footsteps of the woman whose podcast started it all for them … without having their story end the same as hers?”
