Locked Up Like Alcatraz

Locked Up Like Alcatraz is the season premiere of Escape the Complex 1 and of the Escape the Complex series.

Preflight Introductions
The sixteen Escapists are escorted by security underneath trench coats to the entry stables of The Complex. After they are released into The Complex, they took their coats off and walked to a dead end with a candlestick telephone to await for instructions. Three contestants are introduced with clips from their daily lives.

Becka, Duggarti, and Laurett approach the end of the corridor. Meanwhile, other Escapists react dubiously to the lone telephone. Four other Escapists are introduced.

The phone rings and all sixteen Escapists take the call. Host Mikal Vexborough is on the other end and a pre-recorded video of him announcing the premise of the competition commences.
