It's called “Beat the Bomb.” It is a game where groups work together in an escape room environment. If they fail, they get slimed.

Philadelphia will be the attraction's fourth location, which initially took place in Atlanta, Georgia. Brooklyn, New York and Washington DC

Before tackling the bomb defusal mini-game, teams must complete other challenges such as a laser maze to earn additional time on the bomb clock – the final challenge.

“Most of you will not beat the bomb and will be smashed by 10 gallons of paint,” said Alex Patterson, CEO of Beat the Bomb.

We weren't so lucky in some attempts to complete the challenges live on CBS News Philadelphia. First we were splattered with paint and once everything was cleaned, less than an hour later we were covered in slime.

Luckily, Beat the Bomb offers protective gear, so you don't have to worry about your clothes getting ruined by paint and slime.

Once your Mission Impossible-style adventure is over, there is a full bar with cocktails, slushies and draft beers, as well as a kitchen with numerous food options.

Beat the Bomb's Philadelphia location will be open to the public on Friday, October 11th at 1218 Chestnut Street.
