The world’s first officially licensed “Downton Abbey”-themed escape room is right here in Salt Lake City. Really.
Leslie Pardew, the owner of Mystery Escape Room at The Gateway, was attending the Las Vegas Licensing Expo in May 2018 when a representative from NBCUniversal — which owns the company that produced “Downton” — approached him.
“He said, ‘Would you be interested in this as an escape room?’” Pardew said. “They thought that they would test the waters with us.”
