The Opening of the Poconos Fear the Bogeyman

Do you think you have what it takes to solve puzzles under extreme pressure? If so, we have just the game to challenge you at Trap Door Escape in the Poconos– Fear the Bogeyman. Can you face The Bogeyman?

Imagine that you are a paranormal investigator who is hired to recover missing children that have been abducted by the bogeyman. Would you know where to start? Do you think you can solve brain teasers, puzzles, and other mysteries in time to save the children? Now you can find out in our high intensity horror escape room – Fear the Bogeyman. Are you brave enough to put your skills to the test and beat the clock?

Poconos Horror Escape Room
About the Game

All of the puzzles come from the children trying to communicate with you from wherever they are being held captive,” said Tone Purzycki, owner. “The skill level is intermediate and involves physical puzzles, brain teasers, and locked boxes. Hints are unlimited.”

The Bogeyman's Relocation

Our Red Bank, NJ Location was home to Fear the Bogeyman for years, but now the Bogeyman calls Pennsylvania home, at our Bartonsville Location. The 1,600 square foot Poconos Bogeyman will have the same storyline and many of the same puzzles as the Red Bank version, along with some new puzzles added in. The new location facilitates more play room.

And did we mention you’ll be hunted by a live bogeyman throughout your time in the escape room? 

“The idea of being able to interact with the Bogeyman intrigues people. It gets a reaction,” said Mike DiLorenzo, head of video production. “The attention to detail and making this game as intricately involved as possible makes it stand out. It’s the most explicitly scary game we have. This is the one that doesn’t shy away from scaring you in your face.”

The set for Fear the Bogeyman has taken the team of six nearly a month to build, and will make you feel like you are living in the game by means of a fully immersive experience.  

One hour is your limit to find and save the children. This escape room isn’t for the faint of heart or young children. Be one of the first to experience Fear the Bogeyman when it opens to the public the weekend of October 17, 2020.

History

The idea came to Tone Purzycki back in 2011 after he wrote a screenplay that developed into a live-streaming game. The game revolved around an actor trapped in a situation and the audience had to solve puzzles to figure out where he was trapped. The “Find Me Event” had more than 1,000 people playing over the course of several hours. After the success of several other streaming events, the idea of an escape room was born.

Each location has different rooms from which to choose. Our Morristown location is home to Day of the DeadWitch Huntand The Greatest Freakshow.
