PLOT
Six people with different backgrounds are presented with puzzle cubes. Zoey is a physics student. Jason, a wealthy trader; Camp Boy Ben. Trucker Mike. Amanda, an Iraq War veteran. and escape room enthusiast Danny. Solve the puzzle and you'll be invited to an escape room with a prize of $10,000. The contestants arrive at the office building without a greeting, and when Ben tries to leave, the doorknob falls off, revealing that the challenge has begun: first escape from his two rooms, a giant furnace and a winter shack. To do. But after finding the key, the room turns deadly. Danny falls through the ice in an icy room and drowns; Amanda plummets to her death in an upside-down billiards bar where parts of the floor periodically fall into a deep shaft below; Jason shocks Mike to death to solve a puzzle in a hospital room filling up with poisonous gas; and in a room with optical illusions and strobe lights, Ben kills Jason over an antidote required to escape.
Some rooms, through songs playing, coats, and hospital beds, remind the players of them being sole survivors of various disasters; Mike escaped a mine cave-in, Zoey survived a plane crash, Danny survived when his family died of carbon monoxide poisoning, Amanda survived an IED blast, Jason survived a shipwreck in frigid weather, and Ben survived a car accident where his friends died. Zoey realizes that the purpose of the game is to determine which player is the luckiest. Ben, after escaping the last room where a wall moves inwards to crush him, meets the Gamemaster, who controls the game that the Puzzle Maker designed. The Gamemaster explains that each year they lure in players with something in common – college athletes, savants, etc. —and wealthy viewers betting on the outcome, with only the current game attracting survivors of previous disasters.
When Ben recovers, Zoey returns to the building with the detective. The police don't believe Zoey because all evidence of the game has disappeared. They don't believe Ben either, as it turns out he has drugs in his system. Looking at the graffiti on the wall, Zoey notices the word "Wootan Yu", an anagram of "No Way Out", implying that the game isn't over yet. meets Ben and shows him a newspaper article depicting the deaths of other players as daily accidents. When Ben suggests Zoey move on, she refuses. She reveals a clue to Ben that points to an undisclosed building in Manhattan. Ben agrees to go with her. But Puzzle Maker is already preparing his flight to become a new deadly survival game.
