Escape the Night - Season 4 Predictions, I guess
We interrupt your regularly scheduled program to give you some Escape the Night theorizing! This is based on the season 4 trailer and the trailer-snippet at the end of episode 1, season 4.
First off, if there are 3 survivors at the end like there usually are, and there are 7 survivors now, it will take 4 episodes for the last people to die.
So, there are going to be 4 more exhibits. We already have some information about what they could be.
It sounds like the next episode (Episode 5) will be some sort of old, knight-era exhibit. I’ll dub it the “Medieval” exhibit.
I associate it with the scenes from the forest, like the backstory shots where a knight seems to be drawing his sword, and a king is kneeling.
There’s also the scenes where it looks like Gabbie is being captured, and where Tana and Gabbie are hugging each other.
Not much information about the scene where Gabbie is being captured. You can briefly see Colleen’s hat in the shot.
If this is just a capture, it could mean Gabbie’s name is going in the voting pile. If this is a death challenge, it looks like Gabbie and Colleen are voted in, and Gabbie is temporarily delayed.
Tana and Gabbie are hugging each other and saying “I love you.” It sounds like maybe they’re both voted into a challenge.
It isn’t clear which exhibit these next shots are from, but they both have swords, so I’m putting them under the Medieval exhibit for now.
Joey is holding a glowing sword in one shot, and Colleen is stabbing something with a sword in another.
If these are in the same episode, it could be a sign of Joey and Colleen’s growing reconciliation— Joey finds the sword and gives it to Colleen for something. It could be the end of a death challenge where Colleen wins. Who knows.
There’s an exhibit that seems to be centered around Greek mythology, which I’ll call the Greek exhibit. There are monsters that look like Medusa and the Minotaur.
There are shots where Bretman and Nikita are holding lanterns and look like they’re in a maze– or a labyrinth. This would mirror the Greek myth about the Minotaur.
Is this part of a puzzle they solve earlier in the episode, or a death challenge? We still don’t know if Nikita and MatPat will be vulnerable to the death challenges.
Next is Medusa. It doesn’t seem like there’s much about her at first, but it makes sense that she would be in the same episode as the Minotaur.
So take a look at this shot of Alex hiding.
It kind of looks like he’s holding a mirror. This would reference the Greek myth where the hero Perseus was given a reflective shield so he didn’t look directly at Medusa. Knowing this, you can see the shapes of statues around him.
It’s not clear which episode this shot is from, but since we saw Bretman and Nikita together in the labyrinth, I’m going to put it here.
Bret is saying “I’m dying Nikita.” They both look nervous. On the table, there is a pitcher and two cups. It’s probable that either one or both of them drank something. Unclear if it’s deadly or not.
The next exhibit looks like it’s gonna be pirates. The main two shots show a pirate hat on a table, windows, and a wooden background.
If you look at the second shot of the Youtubers, you can clearly see Joey, Alex, Bretman, and Ro. But if you look closely, you can see the feathers of Colleen’s hat.
If it had just been the aforementioned Youtubers, I would have guessed this was part of a challenge where they split up into groups. But seeing Colleen’s hat makes me think that’s the entire group, which means Tana and Gabbie might die.
It already looks like either Tana or Gabbie will die in the Medieval episode, episode 5. If the other dies in episode 6, that would make the pirate exhibit episode 7.
The 4th exhibit is unclear. The only hints we have involve “backstory” shots, and no Youtubers. So far we’ve only seen this guy:
I’m not sure what exhibit he would be part of- the only thing I can think of that they might be referencing is the genie from Aladdin, but I really have no idea about this episode.
Gabbie and Tana are going to die in Episodes 5 and 6. Episode 5 will be the “Medieval” exhibit episode, as shown by the shot of the knight on the horse drawing a sword at the end of Episode 4. Episode 7 will be a pirates exhibit. Episodes 6 and 8 will involve a Greek mythology exhibit and one we don’t know much about. It might make sense that the episode we have the least info about would be last.
...I was kind of in a hurry when putting this together? I think Episode 5 came out as I was writing this. Pls forgive any typos.
