The adventure begins at Hawkins National Laboratory where you'll be sorted into groups. As you travel through the lab, things start to get eerie, and soon you'll find yourself entangled in an elaborate escape plan. This part of the experience is top-secret and no photos are allowed, so you'll have to see it for yourself.
