They do murder mystery shows on trains? The logistics of that seem challenging.Genuinely a cheaper hotel built around a straight forward narative would have been so much more successful. You could basically make it like a longer, more elaborate version of the one of those murder mystery shows they do on trains.
I'd assume it's one of the big luxury long distance routes, orient express kinda thing. In fact there's a book about that one which probably popularises the idea.They do murder mystery shows on trains? The logistics of that seem challenging.

It's usually done as special show that you pay tickets for specifically. The key is that you play out the same scenes in each car with a pretty simple story.I'd assume it's one of the big luxury long distance routes, orient express kinda thing.

They should've just spent the money on beefing out Galaxy's Edge even more, to like full blown Star Wars Colonial Williamsburg or Knott's Berry Farm's Ghost Town - maybe like daily events/stories/whatever that guests can participate in (maybe one or two lucky kids get picked to take part or whatever) and more interactive shops/restaurants/etc. I imagine it's the same problems that ended up plaguing Evermore (albeit without the ill advised Taylor Swift lawsuit) - it turns out a fully immersive real life RPG/Westworld-with-humans is, uh, really hard and actually kind've lame? It'd be less oppressive/more casual (because guests can wander in and out instead of being literally locked in) and probably cheaper in the long run.Genuinely a cheaper hotel built around a straight forward narative would have been so much more successful.

Yeah. The passengers participating all get a character to play, one of them "dies", and the others have to use the character details to figure out who the "murderer" is.They do murder mystery shows on trains? The logistics of that seem challenging.
I've heard about those but as dinner events, not actually set on a train with people moving between cars - the latter seemed like it could cause difficulties, but I guess keeping it linear does a lot to help with that.Yeah.

I've never been on one but they show up in pop culture a fair bit. Off the top of my head I know King of the Hill did an episode about a failed one, and there's an entire Sonic game with the characters going through one
I mean I think a star wars themed escape room that like charge like 80 bucks a head could do gang busters, and be both cheap enough. It would also be small enough that you could reasonably using existing buildings and put them in any city with 500k+ people.I mean I can't believe people weren't lining up to be locked into an escape room with a bunch of Star Wars nerds and Disney Adults.
A Disney Imagineer-built Star Wars themed escape room that you have an hour to get out of sounds awesome.I mean I think a star wars themed escape room that like charge like 80 bucks a head could do gang busters, and be both cheap enough.

Honestly I feel like an escape room would thematically fits Star Trek better than Star Wars.I mean I think a star wars themed escape room that like charge like 80 bucks a head could do gang busters, and be both cheap enough.

Now a Star Wars themed laser tag…
I mean this was basically what Star Trek: The Experience (the OG Galaxy's Edge and Harry Potter World!) was - a TNG themed interactive ride where groups would go from the Enterprise to a shuttle to DS9 "seamlessly", and it ended with getting to walk around a replica of the Promenade that had a mix of restaurants, shops, and a few people "in character" as aliens or Starfleet crew. It ended up closing in the early 2000's (right as Paramount was rebooting the franchise/sorting out the rights with CBS), but I'm surprised no one's revived it in a post-Galaxy's Edge/Hogwarts/World of Pandora world.Honestly I feel like an escape room would thematically fits Star Trek better than Star Wars.

Escaping from anything but the room itself is hardly a core element. The point of escape rooms is puzzle solving. This maps much better to tricorders than lightsabers for obvious reasons.It could either way, escaping from the Borg can be just as scary as having to escape from Darth Vader.
While Star Trek would have more options, there are definitely some iconic ones you could do for Star Wars like Death Star Escape, Jaba's Palace Escape, and Cloud City Escape. Then you bulk it out with Canto Bight Escape and Geonosis Escape that are a big cheaper. You brand the whole thing as the nice catchy Star Wars: ESCAPE!Honestly I feel like an escape room would thematically fits Star Trek better than Star Wars.

Actually did an escape room like that, somewhere in Virginia. My knowledge of Star Wars trivia came in handy for probably the first and only time in my life by letting me remember the ID number of the stormtrooper Luke was impersonating without having to solve the puzzle that came with it.
Isn't that just the name of Lucas' earlier film? THX-1138Actually did an escape room like that, somewhere in Virginia.

TK-421, I'm almost certain of it.
