Overview

Before each phase of the escape challenge, the members first gather in the bus. Since the second challenge (third episode) of Season 1, the program team will assign the captain (주장) of the period in response to the performance of the members of the previous challenge, and the captain will receive an armband. Prior to arriving at the location, members will wear eye masks, and the staff will lead the members to the start point in the large secret room. After fulfilling the instructions of the staff, the members can remove the eye mask. In each challenge, members need to use the clues in the room to gradually explore the large secret room until all members escape from the location.[4]

Each challenge has a different theme, and members will learn about the context of the background story from the clues during the exploration. In addition to finding and cracking the clues, members may need to interact with the story characters played by the staff (such as helping the character, leading the character to escape, etc.) before they can escape from the large secret room. There is no stipulated time limit for each escape challenge, it will only end when all members and story characters (if any) have successfully escaped.

For Season 2, a major change being added to the show is that there is a possibility of failure to escape. The recording of the challenge ends once it happens. Another added change is that there is a possibility that cast member(s) would get eliminated in the midst of escaping, based on situations (e.g. "dead" or "missing" during the attempt) and the decisions of the production team. The eliminated cast member(s) will get off from work.[5] There is no longer any assignment of the captain (주장).

For Season 3, there is no change in the rules as compare to Season 2. Between 12 to 26 April 2020, no new episodes were shown as filming of the show has been postponed due to COVID-19.[6]

Slogan

The slogan of the show is "나가야산다" (Escape and Survive) as shown in the promotional poster for Season 1.

Members asked Ha-li if she can recollect what happened to her and Mi-ra. Ha-li reply was she drank the "anti-drowsiness nourishment tonic" given by the history teacher and became unconscious and Mi-ra also did the same thing.

Ha-li reveals that the dark robe are available in the 2nd floor Follower Dormitory and Mi-ra should be in the 2nd floor Preparation Room.

Byung-jae found the recipe for making the "anti-drowsiness nourishment tonic", "Holy water" and courage pill (용기환). The recipe book explained the usage of each potion. The anti-drowsiness nourishment tonic takes effect after 5 minutes to cause the users to be unconscious. After the followers have taken the anti-drowsiness nourishment tonic, members discussed that they should delay the ritual to let the anti-drowsiness nourishment tonic to take effect. Members found out that the "anti-drowsiness nourishment tonic", "Holy water" and courage pill were already made in advance and left one the table. Dong-hyun and Shin-dong each ate a courage pill. Members and Ha-li returned to the Follower Dormitory to find a route to the Temple as the main door to the Temple is locked. They were unable to find any alternate route.
