No Escape Room (2018) Movie Script
1
Karen?
Karen?
Karen?
Hey, Karen, come on.
What, dad?
Can you just talk to me
for a minute?
How is, uh, how is school going?
It's great, dad.
Best thing ever.
Okay.
Um, how'd that paper turn out?
What paper?
What are you talking about?
Uh, the one you wrote
with the, the painter lady.
- You mean, Emily Dickinson?
- Yeah.
Yeah. She's a poet, dad,
not a painter.
That was, like, three weeks ago.
Do you think I could read it?
What? No, dad, that's weird.
You don't wear that necklace
I got you.
I-I thought you liked it.
I know you're upset.
I'm not upset, dad.
It's horseback riding,
not a trip to Paris.
I'm gonna make it up to you.
I said I'm not upset, okay?
I don't even care.
- Dad?
- Uh, i-it's, it's fine.
It'll-it'll be fine.
Oh, shit.
Hey, honey?
Karen?
Hey, hon? Karen?
- Karen!
- What, dad?
There should be some old rags
in the trunk.
Could you grab me one, please?
Thanks, kiddo.
Karen!
Dad! What the hell?
That cell phone!
You could've been killed!
What are you talking about?
God.
So how long
until the car is fixed?
Oh, the guy from the garage said
it won't be done
till the end of the day.
Great.
We'll find something else to do.
- It's not a big deal.
- No, it is a big deal.
We only get one weekend
out of the months together
and I'm, like, striking out
all over the place here.
What's there to do around here?
Um... Well, let's take a look.
Okay, we've got...
Oh, we've got bowling,
we've got, oh, mini-golf.
That sounds like a lot of...
N-no fun at all.
We have movies,
we have kids' theater...
Wait. Wait a second.
What about this? Escape Rooms.
You've been talking
about these things, right?
You said you wanted to try one.
Nicole and some friends
did one a while back.
Sounded cool.
Well, okay.
I'm on board with cool.
Dad, that one
was in San Francisco.
Out here, wherever we are,
it's probably in some
creepy guy's garage or worse.
Well, we won't know
until we try, will we?
Hm? Huh?
Uh, excuse me.
- We doing all right over here?
- Uh, yeah.
We're great. Thank you.
We were just wondering...
how do we get to this place?
You don't go to that place.
Why not?
That place...
A lot of bad things have
happened there over the years.
What do you mean?
I can't really say.
Just...
You hear a lot of stories.
Stuff that don't make
much sense.
All I know is,
a lot of people go up there
and you never
hear from them again.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Oh, I can never keep
a straight face.
I'm just messing with you.
No, you take it from me,
you go up there,
you're gonna have
one hell of a time.
Just tell 'em Betsy sent you.
Okay, now we have to go.
For Betsy.
Fine.
Wow, that's so cute.
What are you talking about?
Sorry.
Karen, let's go.
Seriously?
Just give me a minute.
- What exactly is an escape room?
- It's a game, dad.
They just, like, lock
you up in a room, and that's it?
No, they give you
clues to solve
and then you try to figure out
how to escape.
Oh.
You ready?
Yeah.
Why didn't you just have them
pull up to the door?
It's more money. Plus, cardio.
Oh, my God.
So this is the place?
Yeah, it has to be.
Looks really popular.
- Come on.
- Mm...
Hello?
Maybe it's closed.
Maybe I didn't...
Hello?
Anyone here?
We're, uh... here to escape,
I guess.
Hey, hon?
- Stay close.
- Mm-hmm.
How did you get in here?
What do you want?
Hey, what the hell?
What are you talking about?
It's you. Thank God you came.
It's me, Josie.
Surely you remember me.
Please hurry.
The others are waiting.
We haven't much time.
She's pretty good.
Yeah.
- Hey. Melanie.
- Hi.
Uh, this is Tyler.
- First time?
- Yeah, yeah. Oh, I'm Michael.
This is my daughter, Karen.
Is this your first time?
No, I've done these before.
He only let me drag him along
because it's my birthday.
Happy birthday.
How about you?
Are you here alone?
No, well, I'm a plant.
I'm with the Escape Room.
Really?
No. Why would I tell you that?
Apologies. I don't have
much more to give you.
I rarely get visitors anymore.
Few have dared to come
since the disappearances.
For you.
Thank you.
Oh. Thank you.
I don't know
why you look so confused.
Perhaps this will help
to clear your mind
and prepare you
for what is to come.
- No, no, don't.
- Dad...
We don't even know
what's in this.
- Chai tea. Not bad.
- And what?
I've taken the liberty
of drawing up contracts
for each of you.
Apologies if it seems unusual.
But the authorities
will require some proof
that you are
willing participants
in case anything should happen
to you.
Oh.
What is this?
It's a waiver. Pretty customary.
Just a little dressed up
for the occasion.
- Your contraptions, miss.
- My what?
I don't mean
to cast dispersions,
but some have tried to smuggle
in their devices
in order to record
what they see inside the house
in a misguided attempt to share
its secrets with the world.
That's pretty impressive, Josie,
I can't get her
to shut that thing off
for more than five minutes.
- Excuse me.
- Mm...
- Uh, no. I need this.
- Ty.
There are no gadgets
that can help you in here.
To get out of the house,
you need to rely on your wit
and one another.
- Mm.
- Tyler.
Okay.
There you go, all right?
- Thank you.
- Mwah.
Sometime ago,
strange occurrences
began to plague
the surrounding townships.
People who lived there
claimed to see things
that simply could not be,
things that should've
remained confined
to dreams and nightmares.
The church blamed black magic,
the devil's work.
Doctors feared an outbreak
of some kind,
a disease of the mind.
But it was discovered
that the cause of these events
lie here within these walls.
An inventor lived here,
a recluse,
who came to test theories,
theories that were rejected
by the outside world.
The town sent five people
to put a stop
to the inventor's experiments,
and were never heard from again.
It is your job
to find what happened
to these people who went missing
and help them escape the house.
There will be a key
hidden in each room
to help you along the way.
But you will only have one hour
to complete your task
before the forces lurking
within the house drive you mad.
If at any point
you cannot continue,
simply speak the word, "Awake,"
and you shall be freed
from the house.
But I must warn you,
you may not be prepared
for everything
it has to show you.
Okay, that was weird.
This isn't gonna be
really scary, is it?
No,
this is going to be fun.
It's locked.
So what do we do now?
We play.
Stop standing around
and start looking for clues.
Okay.
What exactly
does a clue look like?
It could be anything
that looks out of place.
It all looks out of place.
"Aya... Ayawask?"
Close. Ayahuasca.
It's a, um, tea
Shamans used to drink
to speak to the other world.
South-American thing.
- I travel a lot.
- Mm...
South American?
- Yeah.
- Like those masks over there.
- Like those masks.
- This is, uh, this is cool, huh?
I guess, yeah.
So what do you think this, uh,
this inventor was up to here?
Probably inventing.
Find anything yet?
Clues?
Look, can you just assume
you're gonna be here
for the next 60 minutes,
and relax?
- Your e-mails can wait.
- All right.
Mine's a dud.
You got anything good in there?
Uh, yeah. Only
my favorite band of all time.
- Oh, my.
- Mm-hmm.
I've got their Greatest Hits.
- Really?
- No.
They don't have Greatest Hits.
No, no, no, don't put it back.
We gotta listen to it now.
- It could have a clue in it.
- Okay.
Over there.
Here we go.
Okay, I'm sorry,
that's terrible.
Yes, it is.
Wait, wait, wait, hang on.
- What?
- Listen.
No, he's right.
She's singing
about a-a snake and a raven.
Yeah. And so?
Look at the masks.
Okay, babe,
these are out of order.
It has to be snake...
Now raven...
The wolf and... the pig.
Look.
There it is.
Great job, hon. Uh, Karen.
Well, fun's not over yet.
Now we gotta find
the combination.
- Really?
- Tyler.
Uh... Hm.
So we're looking for numbers.
Yeah, but it might be something
that we're supposed to count.
Stuffs that's all
the same color. I don't know.
Whoa. Trippy.
- Melanie!
- Tyler!
- Are you hurt?
- No, no, I'm fine.
- Did nobody else see that?
- See what?
Nice, try, Ty. Not leaving...
No, I'm not trying
to get out...
I think I, uh,
I had too much of that tea.
You're probably right.
These places are designed
to get you
to jump at your own shadows,
man.
I wouldn't worry about it.
To put ideas
in your head and stuff.
- It's probably that movie.
- Mm-hmm. Thanks.
- Mm.
- Babe.
You're not gonna make this like
the haunted mansion last time.
- I mean, are you?
- No, no, no.
You stepped on a bowl of Jell-O
and gummy worms.
Screamed and left
in under ten minutes.
You know, you know,
I don't even wanna
like this crap.
Okay? But I'm here.
Okay? Look, look,
I'm here, right?
I'm here
and we're looking for clues.
Just... Let's just find
the clues, huh?
Hey, guys.
Look at the masks.
Numbers.
Is that the combination?
It's gotta be.
Lift up that mask on the end.
- Yeah.
- Uh-huh.
- You're ready?
- Ready.
- Thirteen.
- Yeah.
Eight.
Seven.
Eighteen.
Boom! Done.
How are we doing now, Melanie?
- Back on track.
- Nice.
- Good job, hon.
- Ah!
Careful.
You might see the boogeyman.
Another room.
I thought it was Escape Room,
not rooms.
Tyler.
Okay, guys, we're looking good.
We still have 50 minutes left.
But we haven't found
anyone yet.
Be patient.
There are a lot of clocks
in this place.
Maybe they have something to do
with what the inventor
was up to?
You know, this, um, ahem,
inventor wasn't a real guy,
right?
Thank you.
Look at you,
getting all into this.
- It's fun, huh?
- Yeah.
Dad, check this out.
It is cool.
How does it do that?
Hey, guys, it's ringing.
Babe, order me a pizza.
I'm getting hungry.
Only if you want
a dead delivery man.
- That's not funny.
- Wait, what do you mean?
Our inventor
was using these devices
to communicate
to the other side.
I'm starting to see
a theme here.
Huh?
It's like the last room.
Our hostess said
that the inventor
was trying to communicate
with the dead.
In the last room
we had the ayahuasca tea.
In this room
we have these devices.
- It's the same thing.
- So is that a clue?
Or just
a really good atmosphere.
- I think I can hear somebody.
- What are they saying?
I'm not sure,
I can barely make it out.
Hello?
Guys.
I can hear somebody.
- Hello?
- Hello?
- It sounds like...
- It sounds like...
It's just a gag,
it's recording my voice
and playing it back to me,
but I don't know...
You don't
know what this means.
You don't know
what any of this means.
- Melanie, what is it?
- Shh!
He's there now,
isn't he?
Let me speak to him?
Um... I think it's for you.
It's my voice, but they're
messing with it or something.
She's asking for you.
Maybe it's a clue?
- No.
- Ty.
Just...
Happy birthday.
- Hello?
- Ty...
Ty, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
- Melanie, this isn't funny.
- That's not me, I swear.
It's not me, Ty.
- It's not me.
- What?
You just have
to get outta there.
- What are you...
- Just run!
- What?
- Ty, just run!
God! Tyler, your ear!
- Tyler!
- It's damn worms!
- Worms in my ears! Shit!
- It's fake blood, Ty.
No. No, no, no.
Get 'em off me. Get 'em, get...
It's just a trick.
It's just a prank.
No, no, no. I, I know!
I know what I saw!
- Ty.
- Okay? Hey, I know what I saw.
- They're just trying to scare...
- Listen. Listen!
- I know what I saw!
- It's not real, Ty.
Okay. No, you know what?
I'm...
I tried.
You know, I'm trying here.
But, like,
I'm not having any fun.
This is great.
You guys are super into it.
But now I wanna, I wanna,
I wanna leave. I'm done.
Can you let me out?
You guys listening?
What's the, what's the, uh...
Aw-aw-awake!
- Ty.
- Okay? Aw-awake.
Awake! Awake!
Ty! Ty!
Ty, it's my birthday!
Ty.
Dammit.
I can't believe he bailed on me.
Maybe they can pause the game
and you can go talk to him.
No, it's fine.
He always does this.
He's all excited to do it
and then
freaks out as soon as it starts
getting difficult.
He looked
pretty shook up to me.
He said he saw worms.
There's no worms.
He's just being dramatic.
Hey, maybe they did spike
that tea.
No. No, that would be against,
like, a dozen laws.
You don't know what you signed
in that waiver. Did you read it?
- Are you guys being serious?
- Did you see that tea?
They're running a business here.
They're not gonna drug us.
He just gets paranoid.
That's all.
Okay. What about the movie
that they showed us?
Maybe there's something in
the subliminal messages of that.
Yeah. Do you know something
you're not telling us?
Yeah. I know all the secrets
of this house.
Yeah. I'm on their payroll.
That's why I'm telling you
all of this right now.
Okay. Come on, really?
Look at the time.
Are we playing or aren't we?
Okay.
So why are you here... alone?
Doctor's suggestions.
Mm.
My shrink seems to think
that I need to do
more character-building
exercises with strangers.
So, uh... how am I doing?
Not great.
Shit. I thought
I was doing pretty good.
Think again, buddy.
Okay, you don't have to get mean
about it.
Hey, guys.
Look at the typewriter.
All the keys are out of order.
That's it. It must be a cypher.
W-we just have to figure out
what we're supposed
to type into this thing.
- Do you see anything?
- Wait.
How long have we been here,
like, in this room?
Uh, five, ten minutes.
So that clock's broken.
The hands haven't moved
since we got here.
They're stuck at...
stuck at 10:12.
- 10:12.
- Wait.
That's genius.
It's a four-digit number.
I mean, who needs Tyler?
You're my new partner.
The radio.
Wait, you think
that the four-digit number
is a radio station?
Yeah.
Hey, tune in to 101...
- Two.
- 101.2.
Z, F.
- We have to type.
- Yeah, I'm on it.
- Z, F...
- K, L...
- B, D...
- D...
- J, U...
- J.
- Good job.
- Thank you.
- Z, H, D, Q...
- Z, H...
- Q, F, W, X...
- Q...
F, A, R, U...
- Top. Top.
- Thank you.
"Five lost from... midnight."
The five missing people?
Maybe
we're just complicating it.
- What do you mean?
- Um...
No, five lost from midnight.
- Nice.
- Okay.
Let's find a door
for your key.
- Take this one first?
- Yeah.
- Anything?
- No, nothing.
There's one over here.
Nice.
Nothing?
- Nope.
- Last one.
All right,
what do we have in here?
What is it?
A closet.
Just a closet.
Not just a closet.
Everything in here's on purpose.
It's also just a closet.
No, there's gotta be
something in there.
Yeah, okay. Well, be my guest.
It smells like mothballs there.
No, wait till you get
one of the other doors to open.
Well, how are we supposed to
find anything in all this crap?
Let me see. Check everywhere.
You know what,
I think I feel something.
What is it, Karen?
Um, it's, it's wet.
Whoa-whoa!
Jesus!
Okay. That, yeah, that got me.
- Dad!
- What?
- Help me.
- Help you?
What do you mean, help you?
This is part of the game, right?
- Help me.
- Dad.
Help me.
Okay,
what's happening here?
Oh, this game is awesome.
Oh, my God.
Dad, is she really bleeding?
Hey, guys, um,
I think she's really hurt.
Yeah,
she's bleeding pretty bad.
Oh, yeah, right. Um...
Hey, can you tell us,
um, what happened?
- Who did this to you?
- Knock it off. Okay?
She's not...
She's, she's not...
- She's not what?
- It was...
You guys are gullible.
It was...
the inventor.
- What do you mean?
- The inventor.
He's here...
inside the house.
You'll have to get out
before he turns up
or you'll never...
escape.
Oh, my God. This, this is crazy.
She's delirious.
She's not delirious,
she's reading lines.
Find the master key.
Oh, you guys heard her.
You have to find the master key.
- She's dead.
- Yeah.
I thought she oversold
a little bit, but...
Yeah, we're not getting
anything further out of her,
so we better start looking
for that key.
Are you nuts? Did you see her?
That's make-up and prosthetics.
None of that stuff was real...
Well, if she was fakin' it,
she was doing a hell of a job.
That's it. I'm putting
a stop to this right now.
- Awake!
- What are you doing?
- Awake, damn it!
- What are you doing?
- Awake!
- This is brilliant!
- Why are you ruining it?
- Come on!
- Does this happen?
- Does what happen?
The safe word.
Do they just ignore it?
- Are we trapped in here?
- Tyler got out.
Did he, though?
What are you saying?
Well, what is that
supposed to mean?
I don't know, dad.
We didn't see anybody else.
That Josie girl...
maybe she had to go back
to the desk.
Go back to the desk?
In her condition?
So let me get this
straight.
Someone invaded the Escape Room,
killed our hostess
and locked us in.
Yeah.
Okay. That's possible.
It can't be
a coincidence, dad.
The door slamming
right before we could make sure
if she was actually dead?
I was sure.
Well, if it is just a game,
what do we do next?
I think it's safe to assume
that that key
was only supposed to get us
into the closet
so that we found the dead girl.
So if it's not doors that
we're supposed to be opening,
there's gotta be another way
out of here.
Problem is,
it's not big enough
for any of us to fit through.
I could do it.
What? No.
- No way.
- Dad, we have to try something.
Well, let's try something else,
you're not
going out there alone.
I can handle it.
Dad, I can handle it.
Look, I'll be on the other side
of the door
and I'll talk to you
the whole time.
Look, we all wanna
get out of here, okay?
We have to try.
I can do it.
It's just a game, dad.
Okay. And up.
Okay.
- You good?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
- Be careful.
You all right?
Karen, are you okay?
- Karen?
- I'm okay.
Can you see anything
over there?
What about Tyler?
Is he out there?
It's just another hallway.
And a window with bars on it.
It still won't open.
Take a look around, everywhere.
Karen?
Karen? Do you see anything?
Karen?
Karen?
Karen? Karen?
Karen!
- Karen?
- Josie?
- Come with me.
- Josie!
- Karen!
- I know that was you.
Dad, Josie's here.
She's fine.
Josie, we're done
with the games.
Help me with this. Let's go.
Come on.
- Stand back.
- Come on.
Josie?
- On three.
- One...
- Two, three.
- Two, three.
- One, two, three.
- One, two, three.
Josie?
Hello?
- One, two, three.
- One, two, three.
How is this still standing?
This way.
Wait!
It just opened.
Let's go.
Karen?
Please. Hello?
Josie?
- Find the master key.
- Josie?
It's me. Josie.
Surely you remember me.
No.
Check every door. Please.
Karen?
- Karen.
- Ty.
This isn't funny anymore!
Ty, are you out here?
These
are not gonna budge.
Karen!
This isn't funny!
Karen?
This place is amazing.
Karen!
Door!
Can we at least remember to prop
the doors open from now on?
What the hell room
is this?
Does it matter anymore?
- Game is still on.
- Oh, yeah?
So all of this
is still part of it?
- The clock is still ticking.
- To what?
Man. This place gets crazier
every second.
Oh, we've seen this one before.
Maybe they're trying
to tell us something.
No. They're just
screwing with us.
Hey, that was on for a reason.
Yeah, well, it's giving me
a headache, okay?
I'm not just gonna sit around
here piecing together clues
while my daughter is missing
in this house somewhere.
Well, unless you know
another way
outta here,
you don't have a choice.
Like it or not,
we've to play the game.
That's gonna drive me nuts.
Hm. Found a lock.
So we're looking
for numbers.
You know what, this projector
was on when we came in.
So, obviously, they want us
to pay attention to it.
Do you think the combination
might be on the reel?
Could be. There's two of them.
Here's another.
This is so weird.
Okay. Okay, here we go.
Can you make any of that out?
No.
Awake. Awake.
Awake.
Awake. Awake.
Does that projector move?
- No? I need, um, um...
- No.
- Uh, a mirror. I need a mirror.
- What are you talking about?
I, uh, subbed
for this physics teacher
at the school that I work at.
He did this trick.
If you point a strobe light
at a moving fan,
it makes it look like
it's standing still.
There might be something on
those fan blades we need to see.
Got it. I got it.
- Got it?
- Yeah.
They're numbers.
There they are.
- You ready?
- Yeah.
- Seven.
- Yeah.
Three.
- Eight.
- Wait. Wait.
- Eight?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Two.
Well, let's get the hell
out of here.
Let's go.
Melanie, let's go.
Hey, guys,
are you seeing this?
Come on. Hurry up!
What is this?
That, that's me.
Hurry up!
Melanie, come on.
Hurry the hell up!
Shit!
Melanie! Melanie!
What is this?
Okay, this is good.
This is really good.
Okay.
Guys?
Well, what's she doing? We left
the key right there in the lock.
What the... Tell me you have
nothing to do with this.
What are you talking about?
You seem to know an awful lot
about these rooms.
You solved more of them
than I have.
Nothing fazes you.
What are you doing...
Get the hell off me!
Michael?
Andrew! Guys, answer me!
Oh! Ty!
Oh, God, Ty, I'm sorry.
This is happening.
Awake.
Awake.
Karen!
- Karen! Oh, my God.
- Oh. Oh, my God. Andrew.
It's okay. It's okay.
It's all right.
It's okay. Come here.
Oh, my God, Karen.
What are you doing here, huh?
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
Where's my dad?
What's happening to us?
I don't know.
I really don't know.
You didn't see anybody else
out there?
No, nothing.
I thought I saw Josie,
but then I didn't.
This place
is playing tricks on us.
No. No,
there's somebody else here.
Something.
I think
it killed Josie for real.
I think
it's trying to kill us.
Josie said the inventor's back.
What did she mean by that?
I don't know.
I don't know, Karen.
Come on.
Why are you all alone?
Huh?
How did you find me?
I heard your scream.
- You are alone?
- Yeah.
Karen, what are you getting at?
Where is my dad, Andrew?
Karen, we split up
to come and find you.
And then I heard you screaming.
Uh... Look at me.
This is just a game, okay?
It's nothing
but a sick, twisted game.
None of this stuff is real.
Karen, there is
a perfectly good explanation
for all of these things.
We're gonna get through this,
okay?
Hello?
- Hello?
- It sounds like...
Sounds like...
It's just a gag,
it's recording my voice
and playing it back to me,
but I don't know...
You don't know what this means.
You don't know
what any of this means.
Melanie, what is it?
He's there now, isn't he?
Let me speak to him?
Hello?
Ty! Oh, Ty...
Ty, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
- This isn't funny.
- That's not me.
It's not me, Ty. It's not me.
You just have
to get out of there. Just run.
Please, Ty, just run!
Run! Get out!
What do you want?
Get away!
What do you want?
- Five people.
- Hm?
Josie said
that five people went missing.
It's our job
to help them escape.
Yeah, so?
So what if this is some,
like, sick game? I mean...
What if we are the five people
that we have to help escape?
Karen?
Answer me, please!
Where are you?
Hello?
Is anyone here?
What?
What?
This isn't a game.
It's like we signed up
for some experiment.
- Some...
- You want us to find the key?
We'll find the damn key!
Help me look.
We're gonna find this thing.
We're gonna get out of here.
- Anything yet?
- No.
I think I found
our way out of here.
Now I just need the key.
Hey, there's a key here
by the sink.
No,
that's just an earring.
I think it's Josie's.
- Hey!
- Yeah?
Hey, look.
It says there should be an exit
right over there.
- Huh. Mm.
- Shit.
Maybe I'm reading it wrong.
- Uh...
- Guess I'm reading it wrong.
I don't think you are.
This is, um...
just the right amount
of statistic.
And what do they want us to do?
And do you think maybe it's...
in there?
I don't, I don't know.
I don't wanna know.
All right, let's just...
Andrew, don't...
Ugh.
You're just gonna...
Yeah, I'm just gonna...
God...
Yeah, I feel a lot of... Oh!
I think I got something.
Oh, my God!
Karen?
Karen?
Ah, God!
- Ah!
- All right.
You okay?
- I'm fine.
- Okay.
- God.
- Oh.
Couldn't get any worse, huh?
Let's not jinx it.
No, just...
- Okay. Okay.
- Okay.
Oh.
I'm not gonna, like,
argue with you or anything.
Feel free.
Oh!
It's not real, right?
- You're right.
- Yeah. Yeah.
Got something?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Karen, you're my hero.
All right.
Let's get the hell out of here.
Nice.
- Okay.
- You good?
Yeah. Just spent enough time
down here for one day.
All right, listen. You got this.
And I'll be right behind you,
okay?
All right.
Karen?
No!
How are you doing out there?
I'm okay. I'm fine.
No. No, I'm not...
I can't breathe.
Yes, you can, Karen.
Yes, you can.
Just... Deep breath.
Listen-listen to my voice.
- Okay. Yeah.
- Okay?
Think of something, uh...
Think of something fun.
Think of something outdoorsy.
Like, what?
Uh, think of, um...
Uh, uh, horseback riding.
Think of horseback riding.
That wasn't meant to be funny.
You have no idea.
Fair. I mean...
I, I could be doing
something fun right now.
Ah.
Shh! Did you hear that?
No, I-I-I, I don't know.
I didn't hear anythin'.
Yeah. Okay.
Uh, just tell me another joke.
Uh, I don't think
I told you a first one.
- Keep talking to me.
- Okay, okay.
Uh, so two guys,
they walk into a bar.
One guy
says to the other guy...
- Karen!
- Andrew!
Andrew! Andrew! Andrew!
Andrew!
Andrew!
Karen? Karen?
Karen?
Karen?
Karen?
What the hell!
Oh, God.
Melanie.
Karen? Karen?
- Dad!
- Karen?
- Dad! Dad!
- Karen.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh...
- Wait. Are you hurt?
- No, I'm okay.
- Dad, it's not mine.
- No.
Yeah.
I don't know
what happened out there.
Dad, I don't know
what's happening to us.
Hey, come here, come here.
You're okay.
Where's Andrew?
- Just don't leave me again.
- I won't.
No way.
I'm here, I'm here.
- Who's doing this to us?
- I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know
how we're gonna get out of here.
And I think
we're gonna die here.
No, no. Listen to me, okay?
Listen. We are not gonna die.
We're gonna
get out of here, okay?
I'm gonna do everything I can.
It doesn't matter
what we go through, dad.
None of them will let you out.
Wait, what?
Maybe the room
is resetting itself.
Okay, come on, stand up.
I got you. Come on.
Don't look at her.
Don't look at her. Come here.
Come here. Come here.
Wait. Don't look.
Don't look at her.
- It's locked again.
- What does that mean?
Okay.
- Dad.
- Just wait.
- Stand back, okay?
- Dad, what are you...
- Just stand back, please.
- What are you doing?
Stand back.
Read me those number.
- Counterclockwise.
- Okay.
Seven.
- Three.
- Yeah.
- Eight.
- Eight.
- Two.
- Okay.
Let's get out of here.
Wait, how did you know
how to do that?
I've been here before. Come on.
I think we have
to play the game over again.
- This way. This way.
- I can't see anything.
- It's dark.
- It's okay.
Just keep moving forward.
Just let me go first.
You should go.
I think
this is the last room.
You know, this is a sick joke.
It's gonna be okay,
but we have to focus.
- Oh, my God! Tyler!
- Awake! Awake!
- Awake!
- Tyler, stop!
It's, it's like
he didn't even see us.
You said he was dead.
He was. He...
He, he is.
That can't be him, Karen.
It's impossible.
But how would...
What if that's what
this whole place is?
- What?
- An echo.
What if Josie's one, too?
An echo of something
that already happened.
So then, let's get back to her,
find the master key
and let's stop wasting time.
No, it's raven,
then wolf, right?
Uh, yeah.
We have to tune the radio,
right?
No, we already know that it's
gonna save her. All right.
It's five hours from midnight.
- Okay, you ready?
- Yeah.
Thirteen. Eight.
Seven. Eighteen.
Yes. That should've worked.
Then what went wrong?
What changed?
- We changed.
- What do you mean?
It wasn't just telling us
the time,
it was warning us
of what would happen.
- There were five of us.
- And now there are only two.
- Okay. Got it. Got it.
- Come on. Yeah. Okay.
- Find the master key.
- It's not here.
- No, it has to be.
- There's nothing here.
Wait, her necklace. It had a
key on it, remember? It's gone.
Yeah, but the question is where.
Dad?
Dad, her stomach.
The other room I was in,
the morgue...
you know, it had this thing,
it was,
it was like an autopsy report.
I didn't think about it
then, but it said
the victim died
of the wound just...
I need you to back away. Okay?
I need you to back away
right now.
- Dad...
- Right now, Karen, please.
- Dad, what are you doing?
- I do not want you to see this.
- Dad...
- Please.
Dad, what are you doing?
Oh, God!
Oh!
Oh, my God.
Oh, God.
Dad. Dad, it's okay...
- Dad, there's someone coming!
- Okay!
- I got it.
- Dad, there's something coming!
Okay.
Dad!
- Go, go, go!
- Dad, the key.
- What the hell?
- Dad...
I've been here before.
Get in here, get in here,
get in here.
Sorry.
Karen, let's go.
Seriously?
Just give me a minute.
Okay, you ready?
No, you take it from me,
you go up there,
you're gonna have
one hell of a time.
Escape Room.
You've been talking
about these things, right?
You said you wanted to try one.
All I know is,
a lot of people go up there
and you never
hear from them again.
Dad.
Dad.
- Dad.
- What?
The car.
Come on.
Dad, what's happening with us?
I don't know. I don't know.
- But let's get out of here.
- Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
See if you can find the key.
- Dad?
- Just check the glove box.
Dad.
No.
What the hell?
Karen?
Karen?
Karen?
Hey, Karen, come on.
What, dad?
Can you just talk to me
for a minute?
How is, uh, how is school going?
It's great, dad.
Best thing ever.
Okay.
Um, how'd that paper turn out?
What paper?
What are you talking about?
Uh, the one you wrote
with the, the painter lady.
- You mean, Emily Dickinson?
- Yeah.
Yeah. She's a poet, dad,
not a painter.
That was, like, three weeks ago.
Do you think I could read it?
What? No, dad, that's weird.
You don't wear that necklace
I got you.
I-I thought you liked it.
I know you're upset.
I'm not upset, dad.
It's horseback riding,
not a trip to Paris.
I'm gonna make it up to you.
I said I'm not upset, okay?
I don't even care.
- Dad?
- Uh, i-it's, it's fine.
It'll-it'll be fine.
Oh, shit.
Hey, honey?
Karen?
Hey, hon? Karen?
- Karen!
- What, dad?
There should be some old rags
in the trunk.
Could you grab me one, please?
Thanks, kiddo.
Karen!
Dad! What the hell?
That cell phone!
You could've been killed!
What are you talking about?
God.
So how long
until the car is fixed?
Oh, the guy from the garage said
it won't be done
till the end of the day.
Great.
We'll find something else to do.
- It's not a big deal.
- No, it is a big deal.
We only get one weekend
out of the months together
and I'm, like, striking out
all over the place here.
What's there to do around here?
Um... Well, let's take a look.
Okay, we've got...
Oh, we've got bowling,
we've got, oh, mini-golf.
That sounds like a lot of...
N-no fun at all.
We have movies,
we have kids' theater...
Wait. Wait a second.
What about this? Escape Rooms.
You've been talking
about these things, right?
You said you wanted to try one.
Nicole and some friends
did one a while back.
Sounded cool.
Well, okay.
I'm on board with cool.
Dad, that one
was in San Francisco.
Out here, wherever we are,
it's probably in some
creepy guy's garage or worse.
Well, we won't know
until we try, will we?
Hm? Huh?
Uh, excuse me.
- We doing all right over here?
- Uh, yeah.
We're great. Thank you.
We were just wondering...
how do we get to this place?
You don't go to that place.
Why not?
That place...
A lot of bad things have
happened there over the years.
What do you mean?
I can't really say.
Just...
You hear a lot of stories.
Stuff that don't make
much sense.
All I know is,
a lot of people go up there
and you never
hear from them again.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Oh, I can never keep
a straight face.
I'm just messing with you.
No, you take it from me,
you go up there,
you're gonna have
one hell of a time.
Just tell 'em Betsy sent you.
Okay, now we have to go.
For Betsy.
Fine.
Wow, that's so cute.
What are you talking about?
Sorry.
Karen, let's go.
Seriously?
Just give me a minute.
- What exactly is an escape room?
- It's a game, dad.
They just, like, lock
you up in a room, and that's it?
No, they give you
clues to solve
and then you try to figure out
how to escape.
Oh.
You ready?
Yeah.
Why didn't you just have them
pull up to the door?
It's more money. Plus, cardio.
Oh, my God.
So this is the place?
Yeah, it has to be.
Looks really popular.
- Come on.
- Mm...
Hello?
Maybe it's closed.
Maybe I didn't...
Hello?
Anyone here?
We're, uh... here to escape,
I guess.
Hey, hon?
- Stay close.
- Mm-hmm.
How did you get in here?
What do you want?
Hey, what the hell?
What are you talking about?
It's you. Thank God you came.
It's me, Josie.
Surely you remember me.
Please hurry.
The others are waiting.
We haven't much time.
She's pretty good.
Yeah.
- Hey. Melanie.
- Hi.
Uh, this is Tyler.
- First time?
- Yeah, yeah. Oh, I'm Michael.
This is my daughter, Karen.
Is this your first time?
No, I've done these before.
He only let me drag him along
because it's my birthday.
Happy birthday.
How about you?
Are you here alone?
No, well, I'm a plant.
I'm with the Escape Room.
Really?
No. Why would I tell you that?
Apologies. I don't have
much more to give you.
I rarely get visitors anymore.
Few have dared to come
since the disappearances.
For you.
Thank you.
Oh. Thank you.
I don't know
why you look so confused.
Perhaps this will help
to clear your mind
and prepare you
for what is to come.
- No, no, don't.
- Dad...
We don't even know
what's in this.
- Chai tea. Not bad.
- And what?
I've taken the liberty
of drawing up contracts
for each of you.
Apologies if it seems unusual.
But the authorities
will require some proof
that you are
willing participants
in case anything should happen
to you.
Oh.
What is this?
It's a waiver. Pretty customary.
Just a little dressed up
for the occasion.
- Your contraptions, miss.
- My what?
I don't mean
to cast dispersions,
but some have tried to smuggle
in their devices
in order to record
what they see inside the house
in a misguided attempt to share
its secrets with the world.
That's pretty impressive, Josie,
I can't get her
to shut that thing off
for more than five minutes.
- Excuse me.
- Mm...
- Uh, no. I need this.
- Ty.
There are no gadgets
that can help you in here.
To get out of the house,
you need to rely on your wit
and one another.
- Mm.
- Tyler.
Okay.
There you go, all right?
- Thank you.
- Mwah.
Sometime ago,
strange occurrences
began to plague
the surrounding townships.
People who lived there
claimed to see things
that simply could not be,
things that should've
remained confined
to dreams and nightmares.
The church blamed black magic,
the devil's work.
Doctors feared an outbreak
of some kind,
a disease of the mind.
But it was discovered
that the cause of these events
lie here within these walls.
An inventor lived here,
a recluse,
who came to test theories,
theories that were rejected
by the outside world.
The town sent five people
to put a stop
to the inventor's experiments,
and were never heard from again.
It is your job
to find what happened
to these people who went missing
and help them escape the house.
There will be a key
hidden in each room
to help you along the way.
But you will only have one hour
to complete your task
before the forces lurking
within the house drive you mad.
If at any point
you cannot continue,
simply speak the word, "Awake,"
and you shall be freed
from the house.
But I must warn you,
you may not be prepared
for everything
it has to show you.
Okay, that was weird.
This isn't gonna be
really scary, is it?
No,
this is going to be fun.
It's locked.
So what do we do now?
We play.
Stop standing around
and start looking for clues.
Okay.
What exactly
does a clue look like?
It could be anything
that looks out of place.
It all looks out of place.
"Aya... Ayawask?"
Close. Ayahuasca.
It's a, um, tea
Shamans used to drink
to speak to the other world.
South-American thing.
- I travel a lot.
- Mm...
South American?
- Yeah.
- Like those masks over there.
- Like those masks.
- This is, uh, this is cool, huh?
I guess, yeah.
So what do you think this, uh,
this inventor was up to here?
Probably inventing.
Find anything yet?
Clues?
Look, can you just assume
you're gonna be here
for the next 60 minutes,
and relax?
- Your e-mails can wait.
- All right.
Mine's a dud.
You got anything good in there?
Uh, yeah. Only
my favorite band of all time.
- Oh, my.
- Mm-hmm.
I've got their Greatest Hits.
- Really?
- No.
They don't have Greatest Hits.
No, no, no, don't put it back.
We gotta listen to it now.
- It could have a clue in it.
- Okay.
Over there.
Here we go.
Okay, I'm sorry,
that's terrible.
Yes, it is.
Wait, wait, wait, hang on.
- What?
- Listen.
No, he's right.
She's singing
about a-a snake and a raven.
Yeah. And so?
Look at the masks.
Okay, babe,
these are out of order.
It has to be snake...
Now raven...
The wolf and... the pig.
Look.
There it is.
Great job, hon. Uh, Karen.
Well, fun's not over yet.
Now we gotta find
the combination.
- Really?
- Tyler.
Uh... Hm.
So we're looking for numbers.
Yeah, but it might be something
that we're supposed to count.
Stuffs that's all
the same color. I don't know.
Whoa. Trippy.
- Melanie!
- Tyler!
- Are you hurt?
- No, no, I'm fine.
- Did nobody else see that?
- See what?
Nice, try, Ty. Not leaving...
No, I'm not trying
to get out...
I think I, uh,
I had too much of that tea.
You're probably right.
These places are designed
to get you
to jump at your own shadows,
man.
I wouldn't worry about it.
To put ideas
in your head and stuff.
- It's probably that movie.
- Mm-hmm. Thanks.
- Mm.
- Babe.
You're not gonna make this like
the haunted mansion last time.
- I mean, are you?
- No, no, no.
You stepped on a bowl of Jell-O
and gummy worms.
Screamed and left
in under ten minutes.
You know, you know,
I don't even wanna
like this crap.
Okay? But I'm here.
Okay? Look, look,
I'm here, right?
I'm here
and we're looking for clues.
Just... Let's just find
the clues, huh?
Hey, guys.
Look at the masks.
Numbers.
Is that the combination?
It's gotta be.
Lift up that mask on the end.
- Yeah.
- Uh-huh.
- You're ready?
- Ready.
- Thirteen.
- Yeah.
Eight.
Seven.
Eighteen.
Boom! Done.
How are we doing now, Melanie?
- Back on track.
- Nice.
- Good job, hon.
- Ah!
Careful.
You might see the boogeyman.
Another room.
I thought it was Escape Room,
not rooms.
Tyler.
Okay, guys, we're looking good.
We still have 50 minutes left.
But we haven't found
anyone yet.
Be patient.
There are a lot of clocks
in this place.
Maybe they have something to do
with what the inventor
was up to?
You know, this, um, ahem,
inventor wasn't a real guy,
right?
Thank you.
Look at you,
getting all into this.
- It's fun, huh?
- Yeah.
Dad, check this out.
It is cool.
How does it do that?
Hey, guys, it's ringing.
Babe, order me a pizza.
I'm getting hungry.
Only if you want
a dead delivery man.
- That's not funny.
- Wait, what do you mean?
Our inventor
was using these devices
to communicate
to the other side.
I'm starting to see
a theme here.
Huh?
It's like the last room.
Our hostess said
that the inventor
was trying to communicate
with the dead.
In the last room
we had the ayahuasca tea.
In this room
we have these devices.
- It's the same thing.
- So is that a clue?
Or just
a really good atmosphere.
- I think I can hear somebody.
- What are they saying?
I'm not sure,
I can barely make it out.
Hello?
Guys.
I can hear somebody.
- Hello?
- Hello?
- It sounds like...
- It sounds like...
It's just a gag,
it's recording my voice
and playing it back to me,
but I don't know...
You don't
know what this means.
You don't know
what any of this means.
- Melanie, what is it?
- Shh!
He's there now,
isn't he?
Let me speak to him?
Um... I think it's for you.
It's my voice, but they're
messing with it or something.
She's asking for you.
Maybe it's a clue?
- No.
- Ty.
Just...
Happy birthday.
- Hello?
- Ty...
Ty, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
- Melanie, this isn't funny.
- That's not me, I swear.
It's not me, Ty.
- It's not me.
- What?
You just have
to get outta there.
- What are you...
- Just run!
- What?
- Ty, just run!
God! Tyler, your ear!
- Tyler!
- It's damn worms!
- Worms in my ears! Shit!
- It's fake blood, Ty.
No. No, no, no.
Get 'em off me. Get 'em, get...
It's just a trick.
It's just a prank.
No, no, no. I, I know!
I know what I saw!
- Ty.
- Okay? Hey, I know what I saw.
- They're just trying to scare...
- Listen. Listen!
- I know what I saw!
- It's not real, Ty.
Okay. No, you know what?
I'm...
I tried.
You know, I'm trying here.
But, like,
I'm not having any fun.
This is great.
You guys are super into it.
But now I wanna, I wanna,
I wanna leave. I'm done.
Can you let me out?
You guys listening?
What's the, what's the, uh...
Aw-aw-awake!
- Ty.
- Okay? Aw-awake.
Awake! Awake!
Ty! Ty!
Ty, it's my birthday!
Ty.
Dammit.
I can't believe he bailed on me.
Maybe they can pause the game
and you can go talk to him.
No, it's fine.
He always does this.
He's all excited to do it
and then
freaks out as soon as it starts
getting difficult.
He looked
pretty shook up to me.
He said he saw worms.
There's no worms.
He's just being dramatic.
Hey, maybe they did spike
that tea.
No. No, that would be against,
like, a dozen laws.
You don't know what you signed
in that waiver. Did you read it?
- Are you guys being serious?
- Did you see that tea?
They're running a business here.
They're not gonna drug us.
He just gets paranoid.
That's all.
Okay. What about the movie
that they showed us?
Maybe there's something in
the subliminal messages of that.
Yeah. Do you know something
you're not telling us?
Yeah. I know all the secrets
of this house.
Yeah. I'm on their payroll.
That's why I'm telling you
all of this right now.
Okay. Come on, really?
Look at the time.
Are we playing or aren't we?
Okay.
So why are you here... alone?
Doctor's suggestions.
Mm.
My shrink seems to think
that I need to do
more character-building
exercises with strangers.
So, uh... how am I doing?
Not great.
Shit. I thought
I was doing pretty good.
Think again, buddy.
Okay, you don't have to get mean
about it.
Hey, guys.
Look at the typewriter.
All the keys are out of order.
That's it. It must be a cypher.
W-we just have to figure out
what we're supposed
to type into this thing.
- Do you see anything?
- Wait.
How long have we been here,
like, in this room?
Uh, five, ten minutes.
So that clock's broken.
The hands haven't moved
since we got here.
They're stuck at...
stuck at 10:12.
- 10:12.
- Wait.
That's genius.
It's a four-digit number.
I mean, who needs Tyler?
You're my new partner.
The radio.
Wait, you think
that the four-digit number
is a radio station?
Yeah.
Hey, tune in to 101...
- Two.
- 101.2.
Z, F.
- We have to type.
- Yeah, I'm on it.
- Z, F...
- K, L...
- B, D...
- D...
- J, U...
- J.
- Good job.
- Thank you.
- Z, H, D, Q...
- Z, H...
- Q, F, W, X...
- Q...
F, A, R, U...
- Top. Top.
- Thank you.
"Five lost from... midnight."
The five missing people?
Maybe
we're just complicating it.
- What do you mean?
- Um...
No, five lost from midnight.
- Nice.
- Okay.
Let's find a door
for your key.
- Take this one first?
- Yeah.
- Anything?
- No, nothing.
There's one over here.
Nice.
Nothing?
- Nope.
- Last one.
All right,
what do we have in here?
What is it?
A closet.
Just a closet.
Not just a closet.
Everything in here's on purpose.
It's also just a closet.
No, there's gotta be
something in there.
Yeah, okay. Well, be my guest.
It smells like mothballs there.
No, wait till you get
one of the other doors to open.
Well, how are we supposed to
find anything in all this crap?
Let me see. Check everywhere.
You know what,
I think I feel something.
What is it, Karen?
Um, it's, it's wet.
Whoa-whoa!
Jesus!
Okay. That, yeah, that got me.
- Dad!
- What?
- Help me.
- Help you?
What do you mean, help you?
This is part of the game, right?
- Help me.
- Dad.
Help me.
Okay,
what's happening here?
Oh, this game is awesome.
Oh, my God.
Dad, is she really bleeding?
Hey, guys, um,
I think she's really hurt.
Yeah,
she's bleeding pretty bad.
Oh, yeah, right. Um...
Hey, can you tell us,
um, what happened?
- Who did this to you?
- Knock it off. Okay?
She's not...
She's, she's not...
- She's not what?
- It was...
You guys are gullible.
It was...
the inventor.
- What do you mean?
- The inventor.
He's here...
inside the house.
You'll have to get out
before he turns up
or you'll never...
escape.
Oh, my God. This, this is crazy.
She's delirious.
She's not delirious,
she's reading lines.
Find the master key.
Oh, you guys heard her.
You have to find the master key.
- She's dead.
- Yeah.
I thought she oversold
a little bit, but...
Yeah, we're not getting
anything further out of her,
so we better start looking
for that key.
Are you nuts? Did you see her?
That's make-up and prosthetics.
None of that stuff was real...
Well, if she was fakin' it,
she was doing a hell of a job.
That's it. I'm putting
a stop to this right now.
- Awake!
- What are you doing?
- Awake, damn it!
- What are you doing?
- Awake!
- This is brilliant!
- Why are you ruining it?
- Come on!
- Does this happen?
- Does what happen?
The safe word.
Do they just ignore it?
- Are we trapped in here?
- Tyler got out.
Did he, though?
What are you saying?
Well, what is that
supposed to mean?
I don't know, dad.
We didn't see anybody else.
That Josie girl...
maybe she had to go back
to the desk.
Go back to the desk?
In her condition?
So let me get this
straight.
Someone invaded the Escape Room,
killed our hostess
and locked us in.
Yeah.
Okay. That's possible.
It can't be
a coincidence, dad.
The door slamming
right before we could make sure
if she was actually dead?
I was sure.
Well, if it is just a game,
what do we do next?
I think it's safe to assume
that that key
was only supposed to get us
into the closet
so that we found the dead girl.
So if it's not doors that
we're supposed to be opening,
there's gotta be another way
out of here.
Problem is,
it's not big enough
for any of us to fit through.
I could do it.
What? No.
- No way.
- Dad, we have to try something.
Well, let's try something else,
you're not
going out there alone.
I can handle it.
Dad, I can handle it.
Look, I'll be on the other side
of the door
and I'll talk to you
the whole time.
Look, we all wanna
get out of here, okay?
We have to try.
I can do it.
It's just a game, dad.
Okay. And up.
Okay.
- You good?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
- Be careful.
You all right?
Karen, are you okay?
- Karen?
- I'm okay.
Can you see anything
over there?
What about Tyler?
Is he out there?
It's just another hallway.
And a window with bars on it.
It still won't open.
Take a look around, everywhere.
Karen?
Karen? Do you see anything?
Karen?
Karen?
Karen? Karen?
Karen!
- Karen?
- Josie?
- Come with me.
- Josie!
- Karen!
- I know that was you.
Dad, Josie's here.
She's fine.
Josie, we're done
with the games.
Help me with this. Let's go.
Come on.
- Stand back.
- Come on.
Josie?
- On three.
- One...
- Two, three.
- Two, three.
- One, two, three.
- One, two, three.
Josie?
Hello?
- One, two, three.
- One, two, three.
How is this still standing?
This way.
Wait!
It just opened.
Let's go.
Karen?
Please. Hello?
Josie?
- Find the master key.
- Josie?
It's me. Josie.
Surely you remember me.
No.
Check every door. Please.
Karen?
- Karen.
- Ty.
This isn't funny anymore!
Ty, are you out here?
These
are not gonna budge.
Karen!
This isn't funny!
Karen?
This place is amazing.
Karen!
Door!
Can we at least remember to prop
the doors open from now on?
What the hell room
is this?
Does it matter anymore?
- Game is still on.
- Oh, yeah?
So all of this
is still part of it?
- The clock is still ticking.
- To what?
Man. This place gets crazier
every second.
Oh, we've seen this one before.
Maybe they're trying
to tell us something.
No. They're just
screwing with us.
Hey, that was on for a reason.
Yeah, well, it's giving me
a headache, okay?
I'm not just gonna sit around
here piecing together clues
while my daughter is missing
in this house somewhere.
Well, unless you know
another way
outta here,
you don't have a choice.
Like it or not,
we've to play the game.
That's gonna drive me nuts.
Hm. Found a lock.
So we're looking
for numbers.
You know what, this projector
was on when we came in.
So, obviously, they want us
to pay attention to it.
Do you think the combination
might be on the reel?
Could be. There's two of them.
Here's another.
This is so weird.
Okay. Okay, here we go.
Can you make any of that out?
No.
Awake. Awake.
Awake.
Awake. Awake.
Does that projector move?
- No? I need, um, um...
- No.
- Uh, a mirror. I need a mirror.
- What are you talking about?
I, uh, subbed
for this physics teacher
at the school that I work at.
He did this trick.
If you point a strobe light
at a moving fan,
it makes it look like
it's standing still.
There might be something on
those fan blades we need to see.
Got it. I got it.
- Got it?
- Yeah.
They're numbers.
There they are.
- You ready?
- Yeah.
- Seven.
- Yeah.
Three.
- Eight.
- Wait. Wait.
- Eight?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Two.
Well, let's get the hell
out of here.
Let's go.
Melanie, let's go.
Hey, guys,
are you seeing this?
Come on. Hurry up!
What is this?
That, that's me.
Hurry up!
Melanie, come on.
Hurry the hell up!
Shit!
Melanie! Melanie!
What is this?
Okay, this is good.
This is really good.
Okay.
Guys?
Well, what's she doing? We left
the key right there in the lock.
What the... Tell me you have
nothing to do with this.
What are you talking about?
You seem to know an awful lot
about these rooms.
You solved more of them
than I have.
Nothing fazes you.
What are you doing...
Get the hell off me!
Michael?
Andrew! Guys, answer me!
Oh! Ty!
Oh, God, Ty, I'm sorry.
This is happening.
Awake.
Awake.
Karen!
- Karen! Oh, my God.
- Oh. Oh, my God. Andrew.
It's okay. It's okay.
It's all right.
It's okay. Come here.
Oh, my God, Karen.
What are you doing here, huh?
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
Where's my dad?
What's happening to us?
I don't know.
I really don't know.
You didn't see anybody else
out there?
No, nothing.
I thought I saw Josie,
but then I didn't.
This place
is playing tricks on us.
No. No,
there's somebody else here.
Something.
I think
it killed Josie for real.
I think
it's trying to kill us.
Josie said the inventor's back.
What did she mean by that?
I don't know.
I don't know, Karen.
Come on.
Why are you all alone?
Huh?
How did you find me?
I heard your scream.
- You are alone?
- Yeah.
Karen, what are you getting at?
Where is my dad, Andrew?
Karen, we split up
to come and find you.
And then I heard you screaming.
Uh... Look at me.
This is just a game, okay?
It's nothing
but a sick, twisted game.
None of this stuff is real.
Karen, there is
a perfectly good explanation
for all of these things.
We're gonna get through this,
okay?
Hello?
- Hello?
- It sounds like...
Sounds like...
It's just a gag,
it's recording my voice
and playing it back to me,
but I don't know...
You don't know what this means.
You don't know
what any of this means.
Melanie, what is it?
He's there now, isn't he?
Let me speak to him?
Hello?
Ty! Oh, Ty...
Ty, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
- This isn't funny.
- That's not me.
It's not me, Ty. It's not me.
You just have
to get out of there. Just run.
Please, Ty, just run!
Run! Get out!
What do you want?
Get away!
What do you want?
- Five people.
- Hm?
Josie said
that five people went missing.
It's our job
to help them escape.
Yeah, so?
So what if this is some,
like, sick game? I mean...
What if we are the five people
that we have to help escape?
Karen?
Answer me, please!
Where are you?
Hello?
Is anyone here?
What?
What?
This isn't a game.
It's like we signed up
for some experiment.
- Some...
- You want us to find the key?
We'll find the damn key!
Help me look.
We're gonna find this thing.
We're gonna get out of here.
- Anything yet?
- No.
I think I found
our way out of here.
Now I just need the key.
Hey, there's a key here
by the sink.
No,
that's just an earring.
I think it's Josie's.
- Hey!
- Yeah?
Hey, look.
It says there should be an exit
right over there.
- Huh. Mm.
- Shit.
Maybe I'm reading it wrong.
- Uh...
- Guess I'm reading it wrong.
I don't think you are.
This is, um...
just the right amount
of statistic.
And what do they want us to do?
And do you think maybe it's...
in there?
I don't, I don't know.
I don't wanna know.
All right, let's just...
Andrew, don't...
Ugh.
You're just gonna...
Yeah, I'm just gonna...
God...
Yeah, I feel a lot of... Oh!
I think I got something.
Oh, my God!
Karen?
Karen?
Ah, God!
- Ah!
- All right.
You okay?
- I'm fine.
- Okay.
- God.
- Oh.
Couldn't get any worse, huh?
Let's not jinx it.
No, just...
- Okay. Okay.
- Okay.
Oh.
I'm not gonna, like,
argue with you or anything.
Feel free.
Oh!
It's not real, right?
- You're right.
- Yeah. Yeah.
Got something?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Karen, you're my hero.
All right.
Let's get the hell out of here.
Nice.
- Okay.
- You good?
Yeah. Just spent enough time
down here for one day.
All right, listen. You got this.
And I'll be right behind you,
okay?
All right.
Karen?
No!
How are you doing out there?
I'm okay. I'm fine.
No. No, I'm not...
I can't breathe.
Yes, you can, Karen.
Yes, you can.
Just... Deep breath.
Listen-listen to my voice.
- Okay. Yeah.
- Okay?
Think of something, uh...
Think of something fun.
Think of something outdoorsy.
Like, what?
Uh, think of, um...
Uh, uh, horseback riding.
Think of horseback riding.
That wasn't meant to be funny.
You have no idea.
Fair. I mean...
I, I could be doing
something fun right now.
Ah.
Shh! Did you hear that?
No, I-I-I, I don't know.
I didn't hear anythin'.
Yeah. Okay.
Uh, just tell me another joke.
Uh, I don't think
I told you a first one.
- Keep talking to me.
- Okay, okay.
Uh, so two guys,
they walk into a bar.
One guy
says to the other guy...
- Karen!
- Andrew!
Andrew! Andrew! Andrew!
Andrew!
Andrew!
Karen? Karen?
Karen?
Karen?
Karen?
What the hell!
Oh, God.
Melanie.
Karen? Karen?
- Dad!
- Karen?
- Dad! Dad!
- Karen.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh...
- Wait. Are you hurt?
- No, I'm okay.
- Dad, it's not mine.
- No.
Yeah.
I don't know
what happened out there.
Dad, I don't know
what's happening to us.
Hey, come here, come here.
You're okay.
Where's Andrew?
- Just don't leave me again.
- I won't.
No way.
I'm here, I'm here.
- Who's doing this to us?
- I don't know.
I don't know, I don't know
how we're gonna get out of here.
And I think
we're gonna die here.
No, no. Listen to me, okay?
Listen. We are not gonna die.
We're gonna
get out of here, okay?
I'm gonna do everything I can.
It doesn't matter
what we go through, dad.
None of them will let you out.
Wait, what?
Maybe the room
is resetting itself.
Okay, come on, stand up.
I got you. Come on.
Don't look at her.
Don't look at her. Come here.
Come here. Come here.
Wait. Don't look.
Don't look at her.
- It's locked again.
- What does that mean?
Okay.
- Dad.
- Just wait.
- Stand back, okay?
- Dad, what are you...
- Just stand back, please.
- What are you doing?
Stand back.
Read me those number.
- Counterclockwise.
- Okay.
Seven.
- Three.
- Yeah.
- Eight.
- Eight.
- Two.
- Okay.
Let's get out of here.
Wait, how did you know
how to do that?
I've been here before. Come on.
I think we have
to play the game over again.
- This way. This way.
- I can't see anything.
- It's dark.
- It's okay.
Just keep moving forward.
Just let me go first.
You should go.
I think
this is the last room.
You know, this is a sick joke.
It's gonna be okay,
but we have to focus.
- Oh, my God! Tyler!
- Awake! Awake!
- Awake!
- Tyler, stop!
It's, it's like
he didn't even see us.
You said he was dead.
He was. He...
He, he is.
That can't be him, Karen.
It's impossible.
But how would...
What if that's what
this whole place is?
- What?
- An echo.
What if Josie's one, too?
An echo of something
that already happened.
So then, let's get back to her,
find the master key
and let's stop wasting time.
No, it's raven,
then wolf, right?
Uh, yeah.
We have to tune the radio,
right?
No, we already know that it's
gonna save her. All right.
It's five hours from midnight.
- Okay, you ready?
- Yeah.
Thirteen. Eight.
Seven. Eighteen.
Yes. That should've worked.
Then what went wrong?
What changed?
- We changed.
- What do you mean?
It wasn't just telling us
the time,
it was warning us
of what would happen.
- There were five of us.
- And now there are only two.
- Okay. Got it. Got it.
- Come on. Yeah. Okay.
- Find the master key.
- It's not here.
- No, it has to be.
- There's nothing here.
Wait, her necklace. It had a
key on it, remember? It's gone.
Yeah, but the question is where.
Dad?
Dad, her stomach.
The other room I was in,
the morgue...
you know, it had this thing,
it was,
it was like an autopsy report.
I didn't think about it
then, but it said
the victim died
of the wound just...
I need you to back away. Okay?
I need you to back away
right now.
- Dad...
- Right now, Karen, please.
- Dad, what are you doing?
- I do not want you to see this.
- Dad...
- Please.
Dad, what are you doing?
Oh, God!
Oh!
Oh, my God.
Oh, God.
Dad. Dad, it's okay...
- Dad, there's someone coming!
- Okay!
- I got it.
- Dad, there's something coming!
Okay.
Dad!
- Go, go, go!
- Dad, the key.
- What the hell?
- Dad...
I've been here before.
Get in here, get in here,
get in here.
Sorry.
Karen, let's go.
Seriously?
Just give me a minute.
Okay, you ready?
No, you take it from me,
you go up there,
you're gonna have
one hell of a time.
Escape Room.
You've been talking
about these things, right?
You said you wanted to try one.
All I know is,
a lot of people go up there
and you never
hear from them again.
Dad.
Dad.
- Dad.
- What?
The car.
Come on.
Dad, what's happening with us?
I don't know. I don't know.
- But let's get out of here.
- Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
See if you can find the key.
- Dad?
- Just check the glove box.
Dad.
No.
What the hell?
