Once there, they’re cut off from the outside world, challenged to survive the night and escape the estate.  To do this, the guests team up with him to participate in challenges and escape room puzzles, competing with each other to escape from the historical era by solving and completing them.

Development

In October 2015, YouTube announced YouTube Red, a paid subscription service that would allow streaming videos ad-free, downloading videos for offline usage, and present new exclusive original series for YouTube Red subscribers.[6][7] At the time of announcement, ten various series were announced for 2016, including the Untitled Joey Graceffa project,[8][9] which was set to be produced by Brian Graden Media.[5] The series began filming near Valencia, California.[10]

On June 15, 2016, Graceffa released the trailer for his original series entitled Escape the Night,[11] which was set and released on June 22, 2016 with two episodes going live.[12] When interviewed after production, Graceffa commented that the idea behind Escape the Night was inspired by an episode themed around murder mystery appearing on television show Lizzie McGuire,[13] and closely related to the 1985 film Clue.[10] Furthermore, Graceffa shared his experience with filming the series, expressing "It was a really fun concept to put together," additionally mentioning, "And it was an idea that started small and ended up into something much bigger."[5]

On October 17, 2016, it was announced by Susanne Daniels, global head of content for YouTube, at MIPCOM that Escape the Night would be renewed for a second season.[14] Later on October 31, 2016, Joey Graceffa via Twitter announced the cast of the second season and scheduled its debut to be on June 22, 2017.[3][15]

On May 24, 2018, Joey Graceffa announced the third season via Twitter.[16] On May 28, 2018 through June 1, 2018, Joey Graceffa confirmed via Twitter[17] he would be releasing the cast of season three periodically. The third season is said to debut on June 21, 2018.

Reception

On IMDb, the series currently holds a score of 5.9/10; based on 312 audience scores.[18] Common Sense Media's critical consensus reads, "Web celebs star in mediocre pseudo-reality horror series", while giving the show a rating of 2/5.[19]
