Disney’s Only Murders in the Building escape room opens Dec. 9

Hulu and The Escape Game are building “Only Murders in London,” a new room themed to Season 6. It opens in Midtown Manhattan on Wednesday, Dec. 9, one day after the new season premieres, then moves to Los Angeles, Boston’s North Shore and Washington, D.C.

Charles, Oliver and Mabel are going to London, and fans get to go with them.

Disney Entertainment announced Thursday, Nov. 12, that Hulu and The Escape Game are teaming up on “Only Murders in London,” an all-new escape room inspired by the sixth season of Only Murders in the Building, The Hollywood Reporter reported.

The room debuts Wednesday, Dec. 9, in Midtown Manhattan. That’s one day after Season 6 premieres on Hulu. After New York, it heads to:

• Los Angeles

• Lynnfield, Massachusetts (north of Boston)

• Washington, D.C.

The Escape Game hasn’t posted dates for the other three cities yet.

What is the Only Murders in London escape room?

It’s a new story, not a reskin of the old room. The official description says guests will “work together to uncover clues and test their detective instincts against the clock” as the trio takes the case across the pond.

The Escape Game promises three things:

• Hidden passageways

• Familiar props from the show

• Clever nods to the series throughout

It’s built for longtime fans and newcomers alike, so the friend who has never watched an episode can still help crack the lock. Whether they’ll get the jokes is another matter.

“With the sixth season heading to London, we had the perfect opportunity to reimagine the experience,” Daniel Daher, The Escape Game’s senior director of marketing, told THR.

How much does it cost, and how long is it?

The Escape Game hasn’t announced prices for the London room yet. Fans can check theescapegame.com for booking.

For reference, the earlier Only Murders room was $50 per player, ran 60 minutes and took 1 to 8 players, according to puzzle review site Room Escape Artist, which played it in December 2025. The reviewer suggested a group of three to five. Expect something similar, but wait for the official numbers.

Hasn’t there been an Only Murders escape room before?

Yes. The new London room follows earlier Only Murders escape rooms in California, New York and Texas, THR reported. Room Escape Artist’s review of the Season 3 and 4 version listed it in Los Angeles, New York and Grapevine, Texas.

The new room drops Texas from the first round of cities and adds Massachusetts and D.C.

When does Only Murders in the Building Season 6 premiere?

Season 6 premieres Tuesday, Dec. 8, on Hulu and on Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the U.S. It streams on Disney+ internationally. All five earlier seasons are streaming now.

The trio leaves New York for the first time. Per the official logline, podcaster Cinda Canning turns up as the next victim, and her death summons Charles, Oliver and Mabel to London. There they hunt her killer through “the home of the cozy murder mystery,” surrounded by a new set of suspicious English characters.

Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez are back. Special guest stars include:

• Olivia Colman

• Meryl Streep

• David Tennant

• Nicola Coughlan

• Martin Freeman

Meryl Streep returns after playing Loretta in Seasons 3 and 4. The show has a long habit of big-name guests; Sting played himself in Season 1, and he once said he wanted “vengeance” on Disney (we wrote about that [here](https://news.piratesandprincesses.net/p/sting-wanted-vengeance-on-disney)).

The series comes from co-creators Steve Martin and John Hoffman and is produced by 20th Television.

Who runs The Escape Game?

The Escape Game is an experiential entertainment company with 65 locations across the U.S., THR reported. It says it has served more than 13 million guests and employs more than 1,500 people.

Orlando isn’t on the first list of Only Murders in London cities, so Disney World visitors will have to wait. New Yorkers get first crack in December.
