In Spielberg’sBack to the Future, Marty McFly is sent back in time thirty years by the eccentric Doc Brown in the plutonium-fueled DeLorean time machine. In order to get back to the present, McFly must solve his own puzzle to get his parents to meet and fall in love in order to ensure his very existence! If you’re looking for even higher stakes, theJurassic Worldescape room will be set in a theme park within a park in the actual Jurassic World where scientists have pushed Man’s boundaries once again. In the film the park is overrun by dinosaurs, including the formidable modified hybrid, Indominus Rex, and every second counts.
