Thomas Burns Scully

In 2016 Thomas began designing Escape Rooms in New York City. He started with work for 59:59 Escape Rooms, creating such games as 'The Winchester'; he was then scouted by Exodus Escape Rooms, where he went to design 'Exodus', and 'Masquerade'. He then became a freelance designer working for large clients that included Anheuser-Busch and Neil Patrick Harris. For SXSW 2018 he worked with Anheuser to design the '15 Minutes To Make History' game, which has since gone on to tour top university campuses in the US and Canada as a recruiting tool. 

​

Thomas then began dovetailing his work in escape rooms with his work in theatre, bringing the gamification principles of Escape Rooms to the world of immersive and interactive theatre. He has become a key figure on a number of high profile projects, including Fever's Off-Broadway branch of "The Jury Experience", helping create and run NBCUniversal's immersive John Wick experience, and developing an live, interactive version of the board game "Clue" in conjunction with Hasbro and Broadway Murder Mysteries.
