Where is the Japanese-inspired escape room Himitsu Station in Salt Lake City?

To be transported to a fantastical, Japanese-inspired underground world, Utahns only need to descend a set of grungy stairs and open an unmarked door in downtown Salt Lake City.

A single step inside the subway vestibule of Himitsu Station , an immersive escape room located underneath the historic Peery Hotel at 110 W. Broadway, is enough to hook a visitor — what with its flickering lights and sounds of a subway platform.

The husband-and-wife duo who crafted the adventure — Jaysen and Destiny Batchelor — want visitors to feel like they are stepping into a different world.

“Himitsu means ‘secret’ in Japanese,” Jaysen explains, standing in front of a subway map he created with a graphic designer. “It’s [a] secret station.”
