JASON'S CABIN

Official 10th Anniversary Escape Experience

To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Dead by Daylight, Behaviour Interactive invited A/Maze to design and operate the official Jason's Cabin Escape Game during the anniversary event in Montreal.

The challenge was clear: create an authentic horror experience capable of entertaining hundreds of players in a single day while remaining faithful to the atmosphere of both Dead by Daylight and Jason Universe.

every group had just 100 seconds to survive.

Every session was carefully choreographed by two dedicated Game Masters. One welcomed each group, introduced the story, explained the rules, and led players into Jason's Cabin.

Inside, a single red emergency button waited in the center of the room. The moment it was pressed, the lights dimmed, the audio came to life, and the story began. Teams had up to 100 seconds to solve three fast-paced puzzles before Jason found them.

While players raced against the clock, the official Jason stalked the cabin from outside, building suspense and surprising guests through the windows. Just when players thought they had made it, Jason burst into the cabin for a final scare before leading the group to a photo opportunity.

Behind the scenes, the second Game Master reset the attraction, prepared the next team, and kept the experience flowing—allowing a new group to begin approximately every three minutes while ensuring every session delivered the same adrenaline-filled experience.

Behind the Scenes

Working within the creative guidelines of the Dead by Daylight and Jason Universe IPs, A/Maze transformed an existing cabin into a fast-paced escape experience through custom gameplay, environmental storytelling, synchronized sound and lighting, and a carefully orchestrated player journey.

Every session followed a precise operational sequence. One Game Master handled player onboarding and the live introduction while a second managed the finale, guest flow, and game reset, allowing a new team to enter approximately every three minutes without compromising immersion.
