This isn't a normal escape room. You're locked in, but there are no complicated puzzles to solve. If you win, you get a big cash prize, tax free. Only people like you can play. Ready?
The rules are as follows:
ENTRY
All rules must be followed completely. Any rules broken lead to automatic disqualification.
You must sign a declaration that you are a sissy and you will abide by the rules. Your phone will be confiscated and you must provide the details to log into your all of your accounts and contacts.
To enter the room, you must be dressed appropriately. This is called the "Entry Dress Requirement" (EDR). All garments will be provided for you and the final decision on each garment is determined by management.
The Entry Dress Requirement includes:
Full satin bridal dress - either cathedral length, tea length or short are acceptable. No sheath or lace dresses are permitted.
A large multi-layer, multi-tier petticoat (minimum size applies – multiple petticoats may be mandated).
Suitable head attire – bows/ribbons/floral headband.
Full length bridal veil (this may be worn in front of face if preferred).
Undergarments including bridal shapewear, lingerie and stockings (garters provided if required).
White satin heels (minimum heel height applies).
Additional Entry Dress Requirements include full, properly applied make-up, perfectly presented hair and tidy nails. Newly-applied false nails are acceptable if professionally done. Perfume will be applied excessively onto you before entry.
Any disagreement, argument or conflict during the entry process will result in immediate disqualification.
Once management is satisfied you adhere to the EDR, front, rear and side photographs will be taken of you and recorded. Only when all the above rules are satisfied will you be able to enter the escape room....
THE GAME
Upon entry to the room, the door will be bolted behind you and every action after this point will be recorded by our 4K cameras. Smile!
To win the prize, you must escape the room by finding and wearing the correct combination of garments.
The combination will consist of a wedding dress, a matching pair of shoes and a veil. All items must be worn perfectly – dresses must be tied correctly, with any bows, buttons or ribbons fastened as per the dresses' design. Dresses with trains must be worn with full train extended, with no creasing. Important: the wedding dress will only be acceptable if filled out fully with sufficient petticoats. Veils must be tidy and fully spread out. Shoes must be very tightly tied. Ballet style shoes need all ribbons fully tied, with perfectly-shaped bows. You must be able to demonstrate being able to walk perfectly in all shoes.
To submit a combination, walk up to the camera and curtsy. Your photograph will be taken and one of the following results will happen:
A: If any part of your attire is not correctly worn (e.g. back zip not fully fastened, no required train attached, or insufficient petticoat for the dress), you will be notified and you must wait 15 minutes before submitting another. During this time, you may only wait. You will not be told which garment needs adjusting.
B: If you have the incorrect combination, you will be notified and you must wait 15 minutes before submitting another. Again, during this time, you may only wait. You will not be told which garment is incorrect.
C: If the curtsy is not perfect, or if you are unable to walk perfectly in the shoes, you will be notified and you must wait 15 minutes before attempting again. Again, during this time, you may only wait.
D: If you have the correct combination of wedding dress, shoes and veil, whilst also adhering to the rest of the rules, the door will open and you will win the Grand Prize.
IMPORTANT: at all times inside the escape room, you must continue to wear the Minimum Garment Requirement (MGR). Failure to do so will result in disqualification. There are no exceptions to this rule. The MGR is:
A: The original petticoat(s) worn on entry. Additional petticoats may be worn to match a wedding dress, however once you have put on a petticoat, it MUST NOT be removed. To reiterate, you may add petticoats, but you MAY NOT remove them.
B: The original shapewear/lingerie worn on entry.
C: Hair, make-up and head attire needs to be kept to perfect standard throughout. Loose bows must be re-tied if mandated by management. Any attempt to submit with loose hair, slack bows or smudged make-up will fail.
You may try any combination of dress, shoes and veil, however you may NOT remove any items of MGR in order to aid dressing.
There is no time limit. The game only ends with submission, disqualification or a win....
SUBMISSION / DISQUALIFICATION
Submitting or breaching any of the above rules leads to instant disqualification. If this occurs, the following will happen:
Immediate publishing of all photographs, videos and written materials to all of your social networks.
Photographs and USB sticks with all the footage will be sent to all of your contacts – your work, family and neighbours.
Immediate ejection from the escape room. Your original clothes and possessions will be seized and you must leave with whatever you were wearing at the time of ejection.
No assistance will be provided in returning home.
WINNING
If you find the correct combination of dress, shoes and veil, you will win the Grand Prize of $20,000. In addition, you may also keep one dress, one pair of shoes and one veil of your choice. Any petticoats worn at the time of winning may also be kept.
However, you may also choose the alternate prize. If you so wish, you can forfeit the cash prize and return to play the game again whenever you wish.
I have very mixed feelings!! I think it’s hard for me to say how I actually feel because the hype was so intense and my intial feelings are probably skewed but I’m kinda disappointed right now. would love to hear others thoughts and have my opinion swayed!
