The theatrical release is a C+, but the home release is A+ all the way. There’s a different opener, a completely new ending, and more story built up in between. But all is not lost, because the home release is very different from what was released in cinemas. It didn’t quite have the nuance, tension, and impact that the first movie had. We left the cinema feeling a little meh about this movie. In terms of puzzles and clues I feel like the first movie was a bit more thought out, but there are still lots of clever things going on. It is Manchesters real life escape room game. The beach scene you see in the trailer is especially cool. Breakout Manchester is a unique and fun experience for friends or family. The rooms in this chapter are impressive, though some start to push the limits of believability in terms of the tech Minos has devoted to this game. However, due to a series of incredibly well-timed maneuvers, they end up on a train with 4 strangers (previous Minos survivors) that transforms into the first of a series of deadly escape rooms. The winners from the original movie (Zoey and Ben) head to New York on the hunt for Minos, the company that built the escape room labyrinth they escaped from. In this chapter, the franchise takes a page out of The Hunger Games’ book and reunites winners of previous games in what they super subtly dub a “tournament of champions”.

It's sort of a meditation on trauma, and how people deal with trauma. "Ben and Zoe are going to quickly realise that there are some other people in this movie, other characters who've also been through the games and suddenly now it's sort of like a game of champions. "What we're going to find out is that though we had an insular view in the first movie of just Zoey's story, what we're going to realise is that on any given day, there are multiple games happening all around the world," he teased. Robitel has confirmed to CinemaBlend that the sequel will pick up directly from this cliffhanger, with Zoey and Ben about to realise they're not the only ones being manipulated by Minos. Originally scheduled for a release in April 2020, Escape. A shadowy figure then reveals that he wants it ready for Zoey and Ben's flight. Escape Room: Tournament of Champions, popularly known as Escape Room 2, was another movie that faced multiple hurdles along its way. Instead, it's a simulation of a new escape room created by Minos that has a 4% chance of survival. We then cut to a plane crash, but it's not Zoey and Ben's flight. Ben agrees to go with her to the headquarters of Minos in New York City. Escape Room: Tournament of Champions (released in some markets as Escape Room: No Way Out and Escape Room 2: Deadly Game) is a 2021 American survival horror.

Zoey leads the police to the building (run by a company called Minos), but it's now deserted and apparently there's no evidence to back up Zoey's story. She saves Ben, with the two of them killing the Gamemaster. The $10,000 prize is all a big con too and as the Gamemaster tries to kill him to prevent the secret getting out, Zoey reappears having survived the toxic gas earlier. In the first movie, it's revealed that the six players were picked because they were sole survivors of various incidents, including a plane crash and a carbon monoxide leak.īen initially thinks he's the sole survivor of the escape room and meets the Gamemaster (Yorick van Wageningen) who tells him that some rich people are betting on the game and watching it all happen. Escape Room 2 plot: How was Tournament of Champions set up? Don't go expecting any returns though from the likes of Daredevil's Deborah Ann Woll or Reaper's Tyler Labine, unless it's somehow revealed that they didn't die in the escape room and survived.
