Does Trap Door’s newest escape room, Witch Hunt, portray controversial subject matter?

After we’d just hanged a woman for witchcraft, we sat down with Tone and Jess of Trap Door to discuss Controversial Escape Rooms for this episode of Trapdoor UNLOCKED.

The 15-minute video covers the following topics:

• Is it common sense to avoid controversial topics?
• Political relevance
• Escape rooms as education on a topic
• Trap Door’s Witch Trials
• Advertising
• How close are you or your players to the topic?
• Prepare for the backlash
• Abortion as a theme
• Holocaust room escapes
• Branding and marketing
• Make purposeful decisions around controversial topics.
