Movie-Themed Escape Rooms: 6 Great Movies That Have Inspired Them

The world of film is undoubtedly a creditor to the world of entertainment, and this includes movie-themed escape rooms. Since many of the activities, from board games to video games, originate from movies, even the world of escape games has taken inspiration from the public’s most beloved movies, recreating cult movie themes in their escape rooms.

It is usually action and horror movies that are the genres that then result in the creation of movie-themed escape rooms, but in this article, we will see that this is not only the case and that escape rooms can be born even from the most unexpected movies. As far as our digital escape rooms are concerned, the inspiration comes from the world of espionage and investigation; in fact, you will be dropped 360 degrees into a mysterious universe and only the investigations you conduct can reveal the truth.

Returning to the movie theme, there are many classic movie-themed escape rooms that have been greatly inspired by the fantastic worlds created by cinema, and have recreated game rooms inspired by the most famous films. Let’s see them!

Recreating Movie Themes in Escape Rooms: The 6 Movies for Movie-Themed Escape Rooms We Selected Today

• The Chocolate Factory: You would never say that it might be an inspiration for movie-themed escape rooms, but it is: the company Game Over has in fact created an escape room taken directly from the film. It includes chocolate, strange machinery and the goal of discovering the recipe for the world’s best chocolate.
• An arguably more adventurous theme is dinosaurs and specifically Spielberg’s created universe, Jurassic Park, and in fact, there are several who have put Jurassic themes in escape rooms. Today, we point out the one in Tribe Escape Room, entitled “The Lost World,” and that of Cronos, titled “Jurassic World.”

• Saw is the most popular film in the category of horror-themed escape rooms, and this is because the plot of the film itself lends itself perfectly to the creation of a room escape game. It has been thought of, for example, InFuga, and TheKey.
• For lovers of the erotic genre, there are decidedly spicy escape rooms, loosely based on the bestselling book first and blockbuster movie later, 50 Shades of Grey. The setting is that of Mr. Grey’s famous red room, and you can immerse yourself in Christian and Anastasia’s secrets at Resolve Escape Room and Fleetingly.
• What if we told you that even Alice inspired an escape room? Yes, it’s all true; it’s an escape room also suitable for children from 7 years old where the wonderful world of Alice is recreated with the iconic characters from the fairy tale. The credit for this creation is Questhouse, but if you are looking for an idea for an escape room suitable for even the youngest children, we suggest you take a look at our digital escape called Ghosts.
• On the other hand, if you are a lover of the saga Pirates of the Caribbean, Enigmatically has created a room titled “Davy Jones’s Chest,” where you will be cast as an aide to the extravagant Jack Sparrow and must help him in his fight against time to break the curse.

This was our selection of films that inspired the creation of escape rooms in Italy, and the movie-themed escape rooms to accompany them.

If, on the other hand, you fancy a cheaper option and want to immerse yourself in an investigative and espionage experience, we offer our MysterU cases, playable from home and with no time limit. To learn how they work, click here.
