Disney Is Bringing ‘Only Murders in the Building’ to Life With New Escape Rooms
Charles, Oliver, and Mabel are about to leave the Arconia for their biggest case yet. Season 6 of ‘Only Murders in the Building,’ branded ‘Only Murders in London,’ premieres on Tuesday, December 8, on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ in the U.S., and on Disney+ internationally, with new episodes released weekly. The new season takes the crime-solving trio out of New York and sends them to London.
The setup comes straight from last season. Season 6 follows the investigation into the murder of Cinda Canning, played by Tina Fey. The official description asks whether Charles, Oliver and Mabel can follow in Cinda’s footsteps without meeting the same fate.
Fans who can’t wait for the premiere will soon be able to solve a mystery of their own. Disney Entertainment has announced a new escape room experience themed around ‘Only Murders in the Building,’ as first reported by The Hollywood Reporter. Hulu and The Escape Game are introducing ‘Only Murders in London,’ an all-new adventure inspired by the show’s sixth season.
The rollout starts in the show’s home city. The experience debuts in Midtown Manhattan on December 9 before moving to Los Angeles, Lynnfield, Massachusetts, and Washington, D.C. Those later locations are planned for early 2027. The game is meant for everyone. It’s designed for longtime fans and newcomers alike, and it brings the show’s humor, intrigue, and unexpected twists into the real world.

The new setting gave the designers something fresh to work with. “With the sixth season heading to London, we had the perfect opportunity to reimagine the experience with fresh twists and surprises,” said Daniel Daher, senior director of marketing at The Escape Game. The collaboration builds on earlier success. The new experience follows previous ‘Only Murders in the Building’ escape rooms in California, New York and Texas.
The previous game was tied to Season 4. Players had 60 minutes to find a missing film reel and save the ‘Only Murders in the Building’ movie. Groups of up to 8 people could play, and the game had a difficulty rating of 8 out of 10.
Fans didn’t need to know the show to enjoy it. Ben Enos, The Escape Game’s senior director of product design, said at the time that newcomers could play and enjoy the game, though fans of the show would love it even more.

The London setting also brings plenty of new faces. Jennifer Saunders, Sean Teale and Simone Ashley are joining the cast. Hulu has also added recurring guest stars including Martin Freeman, Geri Halliwell-Horner, David Tennant and Nicola Coughlan.
Production on the season began in London in May 2026. Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez all return as the main trio. The escape room opens the day after the Season 6 premiere.
That gives New York fans a chance to watch the first episodes and then try their own detective skills right away. As with the previous versions, the game is likely to be available only for a limited time. Fans who want to play may want to book early.
