A group of starngers each receive a gift, seemingly from a friend, associate or family member. Inside is a puzzle box, upon cracking thye secret of the box, they get an invite to attend an Escape Room, where if they solve the mysteries of the room, they could win $10,000.
So we meet a group of six people, contestants for want of a better phrase, as they congregate in this waiting room, eager for the contest to begin. As is usually the case with these things, there is a mixed bag of people. One of whom is a major gaming nerd, and seemingly quite the expert, having been in several rooms in the past. Will he be the key to the groups success?
As time passes by it becomes clear that this is not a game, and that things can be rather deadly.
Who will win and thus survive? Do we care?
It is not exactly an original idea, as it seems to take aspects of "Saw", "Cube" and "Final Destination", and despite the pedigree of those three films, it falls well short of anything really good. It's ok, and yes I've seen far worse.....5 out of 10
PS - Surprised that they took part for so little money
