Trivia
After the death of five Polish teenagers, killed by fire in a real-life tragedy which occurred within an escape room in Poland, the release date of the film was pushed back a few months in a number of countries out of respect for the girls who died.

Goofs
The watchers have no control over who dies. It is a survival of the fittest test. However, the 4th room can only be solved by Ben as it relies on his knowledge of American Sign Language. Had he died earlier, the game would be unwinnable, rather than survival of the fittest.

Quotes
Jason Walker: None of us died, right?
Zoey Davis: We're sole survivors.
Jason Walker: So what.
Zoey Davis: We're a statistical improbability. And now they want to see who will be the luckiest among the lucky.

Crazy credits
The first parts of the credits are paired with a ball going through a maze while passing important objects in the film.

5/10

Falls apart at the end

Dont believe the 10/10 or the 1/10 reviews. This movie falls almost squarely in the middle. The premise is essentially a PG-13 Saw movie with multiple puzzle rooms for the protagonists to escape (rather than torture devices). There are some really great set pieces, tense moments, and decent acting throughout. However, the film completely falls apart in the last act. Its clearly meant to be setup for a franchise, which completely belittles everything in the first 3/4 of the film and ruins all the goodwill established up to that point. This could have been a really competent thriller if it werent for the money-grabbing shill of an ending. As it stands, this is basically a sub-par "Cube." 5/10 for me; I cant fully recommend it.
