Split the Party, Chase the Legend: Inside Devil’s Den — Newark’s Jersey Devil Escape.
Devil’s Den drops you into the folklore of the Pine Barrens: a tight, theatrical escape-room experience built around the Leeds family’s missing member and the ever-present threat of the Jersey Devil. Teams have one hour to work through two concurrently staged rooms—physically separated but able to see and hear one another—as they race to uncover clues and confront the creature before time runs out.
