‘World of Z’: The World’s Longest Escape Room Brings the Zombie Apocalypse to the Poconos
By: Alexandra Guadagno
Trap Door’s Poconos Escape Room ‘World of Z’ is the world’s LONGEST escape room– and still the largest-sized Zombie Escape Room on the East Coast! In the Poconos, near New York City, ‘World of Z’ is a 4-hour escape game with multiple rooms.
According to Google, the record for longest escape game is listed as the 3-hour-long ‘Paradox Project’ in Greece. However, Trap Door is pleased to announce that our Poconos escape room offers an extra hour of immersive gameplay and takes the cake for the world’s longest escape game!
A Long Escape Room with Multiple Rooms
Due to the length and enormity of ‘World of Z’, you will be tested and thrilled as your team of special agents takes on the mission of a lifetime. Trap Door’s Poconos escape room located in Bartonsville, PA spans across 4,000 square feet, 14 rooms and 4 hours, with an interactive intermission.

What to Expect: An Apocalyptically Long Escape Room
What exactly is the premise of this escape game? The above YouTube video takes you through the ‘World of Z’ experience. Trap Door’s Poconos escape room is all about the impact of humanity, from a zombie virus outbreak to extreme weather, and begs that strange, sinking feeling: “Have we brought this upon ourselves?”
Inside the Game
‘World of Z’ Game Background: A year after the first outbreak, the zombie virus known as “Malatitus”, has been contained, with millions suppressing the virus with daily doses of “Quiet Z” by “Quieten Pharma.” A new attack from the “1 World Alliance” terrorist group has plunged the world into chaos, and it’s up to your teams to restore civilization before it is too late.
The Objective of World of Z
Game Objective: You will enter into the evacuated city of “Romero” in search of the missing vial of the zombie virus. Once acquired, you and your team will be tasked with breaking into Quieten Pharma to create the cure for the Malatitus virus.
But that is not your only mission: your team must defuse the zombie bomb before it releases a new strain of the virus into the atmosphere – making your efforts to create a cure for naught if detonated!

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.
