Fifth Persona Escape White Sand Street at Universal Beijing
Five cipher machines stand along the route through the White Sand Street asylum set. The haunted house is a Fifth Persona crossover built for this year's Halloween season at Universal Beijing, and it is not only a scare run: you have to decode your way out.
Numbers appear one after another as you move through the asylum recreation, with a hunter breaking in on the tension. You need to hold those digits in memory while the scares land. At the final room six doors stand in front of you, and only the one matching the correct code counts as an actual escape.
The horror rating is 4 stars, and the format is puzzle-solving plus immersive frights rather than jump scares alone. Finishing unlocks a limited graffiti reward.
One visitor notes the house opens 17:00-22:00 on ghost days only — plan the rest of the park around that window rather than assuming it runs all day.
If you are booking the trip around the Halloween season, it is worth compare all the main booking sites before you commit to dates.
