Murder CO: Hardcore was created by theme park industry veterans Jon Cooke and Ted Dougherty. Quotes about the limited time experience are below.
“Our mission from the initial launch of MurderCO has been to create a highly produced, blood pumping horror experience while maintaining a high “fun factor.” MurderCO: Hardcore is no different however, after high demand guests will no longer be voyeuristic bystanders. Our members will now have to get a little blood on their own hands as they are plunged right into the blood-soaked action and although this is now a more extreme experience it is still high in fun factor. Our members will be screaming from both joy and terror for their entire 60-minute experience.” – Jon Cooke Founder and CEO Black Market Escape Rooms

-About Murder CO-
MURDER CO is more than simply solving puzzles, combinations or finding keys to break out of a locked room. The high-level adventure incorporates unique entertainment elements matched with intense scenes of harsh violence, pitfalls and physicality. Groups of up to eight members find themselves trapped in a gore and chaos-filled race for survival.
MURDER CO: A high-priced, high-society underground black-market sports ring enabling voyeuristic individuals to privately witness a live murder take place. Beyond the scant rumors found on the Black Web, not much is known about the enigmatic company. It is only after guest’s sign-up that the specific details of the ominous Murder Co will be revealed. If you’re still brave enough to make the plunge after signing a waiver, dangerous mystery awaits.
Murder CO includes state-of-the-art special effects typically seen inside major theme park attractions. Some of the other professionals Cooke has recruited include artists, technicians and designers who have worked with the Walt Disney Company, Universal Studios, Cedar Fair and the National Football League. Companies on board and supplying a stockpile of surprises are Gantom Lighting and Controls, Immortal Masks and Ghost Ride Productions.
