A Guide to Help You Choose the Best Serial Killer Escape Room

If you're looking for a truly spine-tingling experience, look no further than a serial killer escape room. There are few things more terrifying than a serial killer. They’ve petrified us for centuries, from real-life murderers like Jack the Ripper to fictional killers like Dracula. Part of why serial killers are so terrifying is that they feel particularly deprived. Is there a reason behind their rampage? Who will they go after next? You never quite know what to expect…

And that’s why serial killer escape rooms are truly the most horrifying, panic-inducing, spine-tingling escape rooms around — in a fun way! Let’s check out the best serial killer escape rooms.

Unfortunately, things don’t go to plan, and you get trapped inside the office of a killer! Can you stay calm and escape before becoming the doctor’s next victim?
