think you’ve got what it takes to make
it through another round I don’t know
and ring the bell
to get notified about our latest videos
for this list we’re looking at fun ideas
that we want to see explored in the
sequel to the 2019 psychological horror
film escape room since we’re riffing off
events in the first movie please be
advised that this video is full of major
spoilers so enter at your own risk
number 5 the plane escape room moving on
doesn’t mean running and I’m done
running are you in at the end of the
first film Zoe convinces Ben to fly with
her to Minos his headquarters in New
York to out the company we then cut to a
new group of people trying to solve a
puzzle aboard a plane as it hurtles
towards the ground luckily for this test
group it’s just a simulation once again
Minos is one step ahead not only are
they aware of what Zoe’s planning but
they also intend to use it as an
opportunity to trick her and Ben into
another life-and-death escape game this
is the sort of end of film teaser that
they could totally drop or skip over in
the sequel but we really hope we get to
see it play out so we got over her fear
of flying let’s play again
number 4 even more creative kills oh
they’re just trying to give us a scary
you know as part of the immersive
experience
how’re they paying you for a film that
drew many comparisons to saw escape room
is surprisingly not that gory rather
than fixating on carnage the film really
puts the puzzles front and center and
when deaths do occur they tend to be
shocking rather than gross byproducts of
trying to complete the task these deaths
are more about the journey than the
destination so to speak
Danny’s drowning caught us completely
off-guard Amanda’s fateful drop was
emotionally charged and Mike’s death was
a real heart-stopper these were all
satisfying in their own right but we
also think that the nascent franchise
has left itself plenty of room to up the
creativity of their kills moving forward
hopefully while maintaining that
refreshingly emotional core number three
an easter egg connecting it to the Saw
franchise despite a different approach
to its death scenes escape room is sure
to appeal to softens it’s got us
thinking since both properties are set
in fairly realistic worlds why not
situate them within a single shared
universe this could be done with a
really subtle nod like the xenomorph
Skull and Predator 2 ideally though we’d
like to see an even stronger link
established
perhaps the people at Minos were fans of
jigsaws handiwork following his killings
with fanatical Glee liking the concept
but annoyed by jigsaws rules
what if they adapted the concept to be
more about sport and entertainment
rather than big life lessons in the same
vein a nod to Cube would also be pretty
cool
this traps putting you traps booby traps
number two the history of Minos explored
this serves as we don’t know much about
the mysterious Minos escape room company
but a few things have been made very
clear first they’ve got seemingly
limitless resources at their disposal
and the influence to get things done
second this ain’t their first rodeo when
Ben meets the game master he explains
that they’ve been doing this for years
with groups ranging from college
athletes to savants our customers are
some of the most powerful people in the
world but every year they demand more
well we get Minos his purpose we can’t
begin to imagine how the company came to
be or how long they’ve been operating
for thank you for your service the name
taken from Greek mythology certainly
makes them sound ancient also what of
this mysterious whoo 10 you all
questions we would love to have answered
in the film sequel member 1 some truly
surreal theming ok arguably this
franchise’s biggest draw are the escape
rooms themselves things start off strong
when that perfectly ordinary waiting
room transforms into an oven though
every room has something unique to offer
it was the outdoor escape room that
really blew our minds between that and
the plane themed room from the end of
the film it feels like the sky’s the
limit in the sequel we want to see them
really push the limits to the extreme
with the sort of escape rooms that you
could only dream of in the real world of
course if Zoe does get the jump on the
company we wouldn’t mind seeing the
tables turned with Minos members being
the ones forced to compete let’s play
