The popular real-life interactive “Great Escape” game has made it to Turkey, but the new challenge has raised some eyebrows.
The Turkish version has apparently adopted a Holocaust theme, in which participants are made to wear the striped black-and-white uniforms of Jewish prisoners and solve several puzzles and find clues in order to escape a locked chamber overseen by Nazi SS officers, Israel’s Channel 2 report on Monday.
The penalty for failure? Participants risk being “turned into soap.”
According to the report, the Holocaust-themed iteration of the escape game was launched in the northwestern Turkish city of Bursa, and the organizers promised their revelers an “unforgettable experience.”
Apparently, some Facebook users perusing the Great Escape Turkey’s Facebook page were less than enthused by the theme. One user wrote: “Are you aware you’re trying to normalize an abnormal situation?” according to the Israeli report.
“What do you mean, ‘turned into soap?'” another asked. “Millions of people suffered genocide and you’re turning this into a game?”
