Summer Walker’s Album Rollout Hosts a One-Day ‘Horror Escape Room’

The R&B star turns breakup red flags into immersive escape rooms in Atlanta — and fans who complete the challenges will hear her new album early.

Yes, we have moved on from Halloween, but when it comes to the horror of your ex or exes, they’re a little harder to move on from sometimes. Just ask Summer Walker

The “Heart of a Woman’ singer is gifting her Atlanta fans an immersive, one-day-only escape (from your ex) room experience in support of her third album, “Finally Over It,” which hits shelves on Nov. 14. The pop-up — produced in partnership with YouTube — will send fans through rooms inspired by Walker’s “Over It” trilogy: 2019’s “Over It,” 2021’s “Still Over It” and the new record.

According to a statement about the event, each room is built around breakup tropes and relationship red flags — “from the baby daddy, to the ex who has a 450 credit score, to the 50/50 guy and the one who asks ‘where my hug at?'” — and those who finish the challenges will get to hear new music from “Finally Over It.” Walker is expected to make a surprise appearance during the event, and organizers say the experience blends “music, moments, and moving on — made for those who live and breathe the story.”

Walker teased the activation with a trailer that riffs on classic slasher beats, parodying the opening of the movie “Scream.” In the clip, she gets a call from masked villain Ghostface, who taunts her: “Grand rising, queen. Come on, Summer, I’m not looking for anything serious,” and later jabs, “Where’s that old geezer you were with at the VMAs? Come on, Summer. I rap, sign me.” 

Fans are able to register for the experience, and registrants will be sent the exact location on Nov. 7, the day before the pop-up.
