NYC Haunt Holdings, LLC, on the heels of the critically acclaimed KILLERS and KILLERS2 haunted attractions, is proud to announce their next immersive theatrical experience: TRAPPED NYC. This is a live-action escape room where audiences are locked in a room and have to solve a series of clues to find the keys that get you out. The inaugural rooms - "House Arrest" and "Project: Puppet" open Friday, June 13th. Tickets on sale in advance only! For reservations and more information go to www.TrappedNYC.com.

Over the past few years thousands upon thousands of players have tested their mettle in real life escape rooms, a narrative puzzle adventure that puts its players in a race against the clock to identify and solve a series of increasingly challenging puzzles. Starting this summer, NYC Haunt Holdings, the producer of Nightmare Haunted House wants to create the most captivating real life gaming experience out there, TRAPPED NYC. In their game, players will pay to be locked inside a themed room with only a few clues to help them escape. TRAPPED NYC will continue the Nightmare team's unique theatricality and visceral scenarios and challenge participants to escape from a specially designed locked room in an action-packed 60 minutes utilizing logic, math, common sense, probability, teamwork, wit and a dash of physical skill. With scenarios and sets straight out of Hollywood, TRAPPED NYC will give participants the chance to try their luck in real life video games. Luckily for them, they won't be alone, as up to 10 others can join them on their adventure. The goal is simple: search for clues, solve the riddles, and most importantly escape the room - before it's too late!

"Project: Puppet" has you locked in a room teeming with a variety of puppets. But don't worry; they are all there to help you. Well, most of them anyway. Solve a clue and they will give you another. We hope you don't have pediophobia because they are your salvation. You have an hour to escape or they'll be your only friends forever!

In "House Arrest" you will be trapped in what feels like your typical NYC apartment: small, intimate and full of roommates (your fellow puzzlers). You usually just feel trapped inside your NYC home, but now you are for real! In this cramped city dwelling you will have to solve puzzles just to access the bathroom, look in the refrigerator, or to watch TV...oh, and to leave! You only have an hour to get out or else I hope you like the paint job; you'll be staring at it for a very long time.

Trapped NYC opens June 13th for an open-ended run. At first there will be multiple times on a Thursday-Sunday schedule and will expand to additional weekdays. Current schedule and ticket prices can all be found on www.TrappedNYC.com
