Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Director Xandy Smith crowdfunded this through Kickstarter after working in commercial production; the puzzles were designed by an actual escape room creator.

Insight

The 4.9 TMDB rating is brutally honest—this is a cult curiosity for people who love 'so-bad-it's-compelling' puzzle thrillers, not prestige cinema.
