The world of John Wick continues to grow with the announcement of a new escape room which is themed around John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and Mike Bithell’s John Wick Hex video game. The “thrilling escape room, exhibition and bar” will be located in a secret vault somewhere near Bank in central London.
Attendees will find themselves within the vault of assassin-safehouse The Continental Hotel as they are deemed EXCOMMUNICADO – with a hefty $14 million price tag on their head. With time ticking and super-assassins storming The Continental, attendees must use their skills to escape The Continental’s vault before time runs out.
If you manage to escape you can visit the bar of the Continental and check out props and costumes from the film. You will also be able to get to play the John Wick Hex game ahead of its official release.
The good news is that this is all completely free, you just have to apply for a chance to win tickets. Head over to www.JohnWick3.co.uk to apply. If you are successful you will get tickets for yourself and two friends.
John Wick Hex is a “timeline strategy game”, putting you in the shoes of John Wick, but giving you the time to quickly consider the next action you want to make, instead of having to make those decisions in a split second as the fictional character would. Of course, in the films, Keanu Reeves’ actions are all choreographed, and so to get the game to look and feel right, Mike Bithell went to 87Eleven Action Design and their Stunt Coordinator Jonathan Eusebio to learn Gun-Fu.
In our hands on preview from E3, Miguel wrote, “There’s a lot of thought and care put into John Wick Hex, when a spinoff for the film series could have very easily just been a quick Unreal Engine action shooter rush-job. […] John Wick Hex is sleek, simple, and super addictive.”
John Wick Hex is coming to Windows, Mac and consoles.
