Everest's Death Toll
Now more than ever, a record number of people have attempted to climb the fated mountain. However, the adventure doesn’t always end well.
In 2019 alone, 11 people died. On average, around five climbers die every year attempting to navigate their way to the highest peak of Everest. Many of the bodies of those lost remain, serving as a grave reminder of the treachery that Mt Everest.
Our Suggestion
Still interested? Then Trap Door Escape has the perfect adventure for you. Located at our Red Bank, NJ location, Everest challenges players to do what few have done before and then some- tackle Mt Everest and rescue a lost research team.

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.
Location
Each location has different rooms from which to choose. Our Morristown location is home to Day of the Dead, Witch Hunt, and The Greatest Freakshow. In Bartonsville, you’ll find Cure Z, F5 Tornado Escape, Fear the Bogeyman, Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, We’re All Mad Here, and Prisoner Z. In Red Bank we currently have Everest – our first 2 story escape room. Ripper of London is also available at this location. Our pirate themed games will soon be open at Wind Creek.
Trap Door Escape Room also offers team building, streaming events, and birthday parties. For more information on any of our games, prices, and locations, explore our website or call 570-234-3366
