Horror Themed Video Escape Room + Commercial

Kind-hearted, naive, nervous. Ethan has never been in trouble before and is terrified by the situation. Despite his fear, he tries to help the players escape, often second-guessing himself. Players might not want to trust his clues, but on the other hand, he could be the most accurate after all.

Personality: Rebellious, cocky, and defiant. Jason masks his fear with sarcasm and bravado, but cracks show under pressure. He enjoys pushing buttons, and sometimes his clues feel like dares. Performance Notes: Needs to balance swagger with emotional intensity. Actor should be comfortable with aggressive energy, smirking one-liners, and moments of explosive anger when the prison horror gets too real. Tone: He’s the “edge” of the group — unpredictable, dangerous, but oddly charismatic.

Personality: Smart, determined, and practical. Maya takes charge under pressure, trying to keep the boys focused on survival. She’s brave but not immune to fear — she hides it by thinking quickly and problem-solving. Performance Notes: Needs confidence and authority in delivery. Actor should be comfortable with commanding dialogue, thinking on the fly in improv, and shifting between controlled composure and bursts of panic. Tone: She’s the “brains” of the group.

Background inmates will appear on prison surveillance monitors inside the game, creating the effect that players are watching live security feeds. Performers will be directed to move naturally within their cells — pacing, sitting, reacting to unseen threats, or interacting silently with their environment — to make the footage feel real and immersive. Notes: Must be comfortable with physical performance, sustained background movement, and conveying emotion (fear, boredom, agitation).
