The MOBILE ESCAPE room – THE ESCAPE BUS

09.07.16

The Escape Bus, Orange County’s first mobile escape room, is launching this weekend on Sept. 10-11 in front of 4th Street Market in Downtown Santa Ana. The hacking-themed escape game "Firewall" will be ready to challenge its first teams. It’s giving gamers and thrill-seekers a new immersive, interactive experience. In the futuristic game, Firewall, players are immersed into an elite hacker consortium – they have been captured into a maximum-security transport, and must work together to beat the bus, or spend the rest of their days in a tiny cell.

To create The Escape Bus, a 30-foot Bluebird former passenger school bus was converted into a multi-room escape experience, equipped with state-of-the-art technology.

Gamemaster and co-founder Jonathan Katz said, “Unlike other escape rooms, The Escape Bus is more than a theme; rather it’s designed to navigate players through an experiential story. Our goal is to help players “escape” the mundane. We want them to forget about their cell phones and social media for 45 minutes as we give them a one-of-a-kind entertainment experience.”

The Escape Bus can accommodate two to six players at a time, and is recommended for players 12 years of age and older. The experience is offered as a standard (45 minutes) or short (20 minutes) version of the game, depending on the setting. The Escape Bus will be available for Open Escapes, parking in various locations all over Southern California, as well as bookings for private and corporate events, parties, festivals, and more.
