The Eden Corporation and the serum it can’t be allowed to keep

The Eden Corporation wants to perfect humankind, and you helped make the serum. Tonight you break into its lab to steal it back, but someone on your own team has set traps for you.

In short: In Super Soldier, the Eden Corporation has spent a decade trying to perfect humankind with a DNA-rewriting serum. You helped make it, saw what it does to failed test subjects, and now you’re breaking back in to steal it before Eden or your suspicious colleagues can stop you.

The Eden Corporation calls itself a biotechnology company. Scientists outside it call it a rumour: unlicensed human trials, quiet disappearances, results that can’t be published.

You know the rumours are true, because you were on the inside. Your team was asked to engineer a serum that rewrites human DNA, a shortcut to soldiers who are stronger, faster and harder to kill.

The serum works, some of the time. You’ve seen what it does when it doesn’t, and you’ve decided Eden can’t be allowed to keep it.

With your security clearance you can shut down most of the lab’s defences. What you can’t switch off are the traps set by colleagues who suspect you have changed sides.

Get into the lab, find the serum and get out. If you’re caught, Eden won’t call the police. It will simply add you to the next round of trials.

Get out with the serum, or become Eden’s next test subject.

Why a lab?

A new kind of room for Escape This

Escape This rooms have taken players onto pirate galleons, into a frontier gaol and down an outback long drop. Super Soldier moves the action into a working laboratory, built from scratch in the same Perth workshop.

Final details (where it plays, how many can take part and when it opens) will appear here as soon as Escape This confirms them.

FAQ

About the Eden Corporation

What’s the premise of Super Soldier?

Super Soldier is a new Escape This escape room set inside a secret genetics laboratory. Players are scientists breaking into the Eden Corporation to steal a human-enhancement serum while avoiding traps set by their own team. It’s in production now, and its venue and opening date haven’t been announced.

What do players have to do in Super Soldier?

In Super Soldier your team breaks into the Eden Corporation’s top-secret lab, finds the super-soldier serum and gets out with it before anyone stops you. Some of the obstacles were planted by your own suspicious colleagues.

What is the serum in Super Soldier?

Super Soldier’s serum is Eden’s secret project: a treatment that rewrites human DNA to create enhanced soldiers. Your character helped develop it, then saw what it did to failed test subjects, which is why you’re stealing it.

Why are there traps in the Super Soldier lab?

Your security clearance lets you disable most of Eden’s own defences, but members of your team have grown suspicious of you and laid traps of their own. In Super Soldier the danger comes from inside the team as much as from the company.

What is the Eden Corporation in Super Soldier?

The Eden Corporation is Super Soldier’s villain: a private bioscience company that has worked at the fringe of genetic research for more than a decade with little oversight. Its stated mission is “to perfect humankind”.

Does the Eden Corporation test on humans?

In Super Soldier’s story, yes. Rumours of human trials at Eden have circulated in the scientific community for years without proof, and your character has seen the results first-hand.

Who will enjoy Super Soldier?

Anyone who likes a science-fiction heist: fans of genetic-thriller films and games, teams who like a story with a twist, and players who’ve finished the current Escape This rooms and want something new.

Who works on a room like Super Soldier?

Escape This’s in-house team of escape room designers, script writers, puzzle planners, set builders, scenic artists and props makers, the same crew behind every Escape This room, is building Super Soldier in its Perth factory.
