Inside is a card inviting them to Minos Escape Room where the first person to escape the room will earn $10,000.īen stands outside the Minos building smoking when Amanda (Deborah Ann Woll) arrives. Zoey figures it out on her own, Jason uses a Youtube tutorial, and Ben stumbles across the solution by accident after trying to smash the box with a hammer. Zoey, Jason, and Ben each manage to open their puzzle boxes. Inside is a note from her professor and a black puzzle box. As her roommate leaves for Thanksgiving break the next morning, she finds a package for Zoey outside their room.

She goes back to her dorm room and refuses to join the dorm party. After class, her professor tells her that she needs to learn to speak up and challenges her to do something that scares her over Thanksgiving break. Her professor asks a question that she knows the answer to, but she is too shy to speak up. Zoey (Taylor Russell) is in a college lecture hall. The film then cuts to three days earlier in Chicago, Illinois before we can see Ben’s death. Ben is trapped between the two walls and his leg is punctured by a sharp stick.

Ben frantically searches for clues around the room and moves the numbers on the door into position, but the wall continues to move. When he moves one of the numbers on the puzzle, the wall opposite the exit begins to move towards Ben, crushing everything in its path. Ben finds a door with a puzzle on the wall that requires him to slide four numbers into position to open. The film opens with a panicked man (who we later find out is Ben (Logan Miller)) falling through a ceiling grate into an old-fashioned study.
