The storyline of the "Resident Evil 7: The Experience" event is tailored after the upcoming game, putting players in an escape room-esque situation inside the Baker mansion as they attempt to survive the haunted house's horrors. The event is set in a "haunted and dilapidated" venue in London's East End.

The "Resident Evil 7: The Experience" event will put players in an eerie atmosphere as they search for clues and puzzles pointing to the missing persons' whereabouts.
