Escape Room: Tournament of Champions

As Zoey Davis and Ben Miller escape the sinister grasp of the Minos Corporation’s escape rooms, an intense urge to confront the mysterious organization takes hold of them. Motivated by urgency and resolve, they set forth on a dangerous journey to uncover the truth behind the corporation’s shadowy designs. Despite her therapist’s urging for Zoey to move on from the traumatic experience, she chooses to follow Ben, opting for a road trip over the risk of flying.

Their adventure unexpectedly leads them to the abandoned Minos headquarters in New York City, where they encounter a vagrant who steals Zoey’s cherished necklace. In a twist of fate, they pursue the thief, finding themselves on a detached Q subway train, where dread sets in as passengers realize they are once again caught in Minos’ deadly game. The train’s electrification begins to heighten, confining [Zoey], [Ben], and a group of diverse strangers—including Rachel, Brianna Collier, Nathan, and Theo—in a precarious situation.

As the electric shock escalates, they discover that the other passengers are not mere coincidences but past “winners” of Minos’ escape rooms. To survive, they must gather subway tokens while the train comes dangerously close to disaster. Tragedy strikes when Theo falls victim to the electrified chaos, leaving the surviving group to desperately find a way out.

Their journey continues in a bank vault, where they confront a lethal laser security system. With resourcefulness and teamwork, they solve the intricate path to avoid the deadly beams, escaping with only seconds to spare. Amid the turmoil, Zoey becomes increasingly puzzled by mentions of an elusive figure named Sonya, hinting that their current challenge may be separate from their past experiences.

The subsequent room reveals a serene beach scene, where quicksand ensnares their group. As Rachel sinks, Nathan selflessly sacrifices himself to save her, becoming trapped in the process. Just as Zoey discovers another escape route, Brianna Collier unlocks the expected exit. A fierce debate ensues over which direction to take, with Rachel and Ben siding with Zoey. Meanwhile, Brianna Collier manages to flee through the main exit, leaving Rachel and Zoey to face the treacherous quicksand alone. However, Ben’s attempt to follow leads to his tragic downfall as he succumbs to the engulfing sand.

When Zoey and Rachel finally emerge from a manhole, they initially celebrate their freedom, but their joy is short-lived as they encounter a panicked Brianna Collier, who alerts them that they remain trapped within the game. Their desperation escalates as they come upon an abandoned taxi, which Zoey enters recklessly, inadvertently locking Rachel and Brianna Collier outside. They soon face the onslaught of acid rain that begins to fall, leaving them vulnerable as Zoey unexpectedly plunges into the next room.

This new setting is a child’s bedroom, brimming with memories of happiness shared with Sonya and Amanda Harper. The discovery of Sonya’s diary reveals a twisted re-enactment of their joyful day together. Zoey’s encounter with Amanda triggers a chain of revelations, learning that Amanda was coerced into designing escape rooms for Minos after her daughter was abducted. With Ben imprisoned in a water-filling cage, Amanda urges Zoey to become the next puzzle maker for Minos. However, determined to resist, Zoey sets in motion a plan to rescue Ben from his watery fate.

As they fight their way out of the facility, Zoey and her companions alert law enforcement, leading to the exposure of Minos’ malevolent actions. An FBI agent reassures Zoey that Minos will be pursued, instilling in her a sense of justice and resolve.

Yet, Zoey’s newfound confidence is fleeting. On a flight back home with Ben, she spots a woman who bears a terrifying resemblance to her therapist. Suspicion mounts as she senses that another trap is being laid out for them. The malevolent voice of Minos’ leader echoes menacingly, tormenting Zoey and Ben as their plane hurtles towards a perilous descent, with gas flooding the cabin, marking the onset of their latest and most dangerous escape room ordeal.
