Plot structure: (opening) A man was run over and killed in the final stage of the secret room. (Foreshadowing) 6 people with different occupations and different identities each received a black box. Invite them to an escape room game. There are autistic physics high school students, corporate executives in the financial world, and mediocre grocery store employees. The prize money for the game is up to $10,000. (Push) They came to a building according to the invitation. The security guard took away the player's mobile phone on the grounds of improving the game experience. The 6 people gathered in the reception room to wait for the game to start. The female soldier stumbled across a newspaper on the table with a report on the front page of a fire that had taken five people. The alcoholic was addicted to smoking and wanted to go out to breathe, but unexpectedly pulled out the door handle.

(Argument) The man with glasses came out to preside over the overall situation. He said that he had played nearly 200 secret room games. This conference room is probably the first level, and the game has already started. The device left on the door panel is a bit like an oven scale, but it may also be a combination lock or something. It is best to collect clues in the house to see if there are any hints such as numbers. Everyone began to search around and found that there were some magazines on the table, all of which were sent to a doctor named Yu Wutan. Second, it was the female student who looked at the cup in a daze, and looked terrified and didn't know what to think. Third, the uncle found a screwdriver in the hollowed-out book. The man in glasses grabbed the screwdriver and said that it was the key clue of the game, but the screwdriver could not open the broken door lock. The schoolgirl thinks the real clue is not the screwdriver, but the book containing the screwdriver. The book is called 451 degrees Fahrenheit. Combined with the scale 451 on the door panel, it should be the password to open the secret room door. The female student adjusted the scale of the door panel to 451 degrees. To everyone's surprise, the surrounding of the room heated up rapidly, turning the room into a huge oven. The black man found an iron lock in the crystal ball, and the school girl found the key hidden on the fire extinguisher. But open the reception room to find a dummy inside, the phone rings and the game officially begins... (Broadcast to Act 2) The room temperature rises again, and the windows are sealed. The man with glasses said excitedly that he had played 200 secret rooms, but this was the first time he encountered a game with such a strong sense of substitution. (Game time) The female soldier suddenly became short of breath. The student girl took a glass of water and handed it to her. In the end, the female student found a sentence written on the water dispenser, "Dr. Yu Wutan said, you can use a cup at any time." Through this sentence, the female student found the hidden mechanism on the coffee table. As long as the player presses hard, the escape exit can be opened, but as long as the hand is released, it will be closed. There are 6 buttons on the coffee table. Only by pressing all of them can all the outlets be opened. The black people used an excuse to explore the way. The first one drilled the entrance, but was blocked by the barbed wire. The uncle drilled in with a screwdriver, and the two opened the barbed wire reasonably. Faced with the problem of having to sacrifice two players to secure the passage, the female student thought of the prompt on the water dispenser. Putting a full glass of water on the coffee table, you can open the outlet by weight. But the accident also happened. Because the female soldier had difficulty breathing before, the student girl took a glass of water for her. That means they can only press up to 5 devices. Another one could not start because of insufficient weight. In the end, the glasses man and the alcoholic were left, the ceiling suddenly began to breathe fire and fell, and the game became more and more exciting. In the end, a small jug of wine carried by the alcoholic opened the last device. The two escaped from the secret room one after another, and the room exploded immediately.

(B story) Everyone is the last survivor, untold story.

(Midpoint) Several people are in another secret room, and the man with glasses is as excited as ever. This is the most exciting game he has ever played. But the female soldier thought that this was beyond the scope of the game, and shouted to the monitor in the room to quit the game, but no one answered, and everyone could only continue the game. There is only a lock on the door of this room, and the pass code is 6 letters. The drunkard awakened his memory through the music in the room. In the car accident that he had had, all six of his classmates died, and only himself survived. The drunkard took his companion's initials as the answer, and actually opened the wooden door. The game also enters the second level of the ice and snow room. (The bad guy is approaching) Everyone took off their clothes during the high temperature escape, but the temperature in this level was only minus one degree, and the temperature continued to drop. The 6 people only found a red coat, which must be worn in turns to maintain teamwork. The drunkard accidentally stepped on the ice, the student found a strong magnet, and the uncle found a fishing rod in a tree. The man with glasses played the role of his game master, placing the magnet on the fishing rod and dropping the magnet through the broken hole. Finally, a large piece of ice was salvaged, with a key in the middle. The uncle wanted to melt the ice by igniting the branches, and asked the drunkard for a lighter one by one. But the uncle's roar made the drunkard reluctantly throw the lighter on the ice. The moment the man with glasses picked up the lighter, the ice surface suddenly burst. The man with glasses was swept under the ice by the current, and everyone watched him drown. The player now realizes that the game is not a joke. Drunkards became the land of the crowd and were ostracized. Everyone worked together to warm the ice cubes with the temperature on their hands. Maybe it was the uncle's guilt towards the man with glasses, and he held on until he fainted before putting down the ice cubes. (Nothing) Finally 5 people reach the next level, the pool bar. The arrangement of the room is upside down. And over time, the floor under your feet will gradually fall. The female student found Professor Yu Wutan's words again. The uncle also found the secret of the game at a glance. There is no black eight on the billiards above his head. They have to find the black 8 ball hidden in the secret room. The female soldier, through military literacy, climbs to the top of the room and discovers a lockbox. The student girl found that there was a device on the suspended side, which was somewhat similar to Huarong Road. The uncle who played billiards found the problem at a glance. The numbers allude to the billiard numbers above your head, black 8, yellow 9, blue 10, so the code is 8910. There is no place to rest under the feet, but the password has been displayed incorrectly. This time, it was the female student's turn to recall the past: she had been involved in a plane crash, but he was the only one who survived, looking helplessly at the upside-down bottom plate of the plane. The female student lay on the ground and realized that the whole room was upside down, so the password The order is also reversed. The female soldier successfully opened the combination lock and obtained the key to the clearance - black 8. However, Hei 8 unfortunately fell. At the critical moment, the female soldier did not hesitate to sacrifice himself and jumped to rescue Hei 8, but unfortunately he fell to his death. The super female warrior and the game master glasses man successively said that the situation is even more pessimistic, the most important thing is. No one knows how many rounds the Chamber of Secrets will end.

(Soul Night) 4 people enter the 4th level, the emergency bed. The student girl found that there were a total of 6 hospital beds in the room, each of which corresponded to their information. She also finally understood that they were the players who had already been selected. All 6 had some kind of accident and were the only survivors of the accident. The designer gathered 6 people in the secret room to see who among the lucky 6 people can be favored by fate again and finally survive. The student girl had suffered a plane crash, and she was the only one who survived the entire plane. The female soldier was hit by a bomb on the battlefield and suffered severe burns and was the only survivor. Including the drunkard's car accident, the uncle's quarry collapse, and the glasses man's carbon monoxide poisoning, they are the only survivors. These secret rooms are also specially made for them, and the designers are familiar with their past. The black man also told his own story. He once encountered a sailboat wreck, and only he and his friends survived. They only had a red coat, and their partner had hallucinations because of hypothermia, grabbed the coat and left alone, and finally died in the sea. (Entering the third act) The truth of the game is revealed, the schoolgirls are not looking for clues like the blacks, but destroying the various cameras in the room. Black people also discovered the design of this level. After 5 minutes, the room will be injected with poison gas, and they must use a high heart rate to open the mechanism. The alcoholic cannot reach the high heart rate because of long-term alcoholism, and the black man cannot meet the requirements because of the low heart rate. In the end, the uncle can only break through this level. The black man wanted to use the electric shock to stimulate the heart rate, but he was unable to clear the level for a long time. The crazy black man ignored the fact that the uncle was dying and increased the power again and again until the uncle stopped breathing. At this time, the room was injected with poison gas, and the black people saw the breakthrough limit broadcast on the TV, and suddenly realized that the cracking of the secret room did not depend on the high heart rate, but on its low heart rate. In the end, the black man successfully opened the escape channel, and the black man and the alcoholic entered the next level successively. The crazy student girl fainted in the poison gas... (Armageddon) The game entered the 5th level, dizzy space, and the drunkard also had an epiphany about the true nature of black people, guessing that the black people murdered their friends and occupied the coat alone, only to survive . Although the alcoholic sees through the nature of black people, the game has to continue. The two opened the mechanism and were exposed to a certain liquid at the same time, which had a hallucinogenic effect. The alcoholic finds an injection in a corner of the room, and the injection can make him sober. Therefore, the black people fought with the alcoholics. After the black people were turned over, the alcoholics injected injections and escaped to the last level.

At this moment, the staff who entered the emergency bed to clean up the battlefield were knocked to the ground by the student girl who suddenly got up. It turned out that the student girl used the oxygen mask in the emergency room to escape the poisonous gas after smashing all the monitors.

The room will continue to squeeze over time, and the player needs to find the 4-digit number in the allotted time. The drunkard looked around the room and found a prompt "Follow the bright green vitality", and found the only green book on the shelf. The clues of the game were also linked together. There was a hint in the book, "Witness another person's life." "Death, unlock the great mystery of time", the drunkard thought that this sentence implied a reminder such as a clock, but there was no time-related object in the room at all, but there was no time-related object in the room at all, and finally the drunkard finally found out that the real The clue is to witness another person's death. This clue points to some paintings and calligraphy in front of the desk, and there are some figures with outstretched fingers on the paintings, and the clock position is determined according to the direction of the characters' fingers, and finally the answer of 4862 is obtained. When the wall was crushed at the last second, hide in the clearance fireplace and escape from the secret room. (Ending) The alcoholic came to a factory, and all five people except him were crossed on the screen. There was an old man sitting in the middle of the factory. The old man claims to be the designer of the game. He prides himself on designing a more sophisticated history. At the same time betting on the last survivor, attracting those with power to open the bet. Just when the game of nine ghosts finally ended, the old man used a rope to restrain the drunkard's neck. At the same time, the big screen suddenly changed, the student girl who was originally crossed became bright, and the old man was also on the big screen, and the words "Game Continue" appeared on the screen. When the old man was puzzled, the student girl suddenly rushed out and joined forces with the alcoholic to kill the old man.

The alcoholic and the students escaped from the building and called the police, but everything in the building was destroyed and the police got no clues. The student girl showed the alcoholic news of other dead people, but the answer she got was shocking. The uncle died of a heart attack in the bathroom of the station, the black man fell off an elevated road in New York, the man with glasses drowned in Lake Michigan, and the female soldier fell to his death from a rock climbing. The female student found the geographic coordinates based on the clues. The two booked two air tickets and decided to search for the conspiracy behind the secret room.

(Suspense) A crashed plane is about to fall, but the flight attendant is looking for clues. Although the correct password is finally obtained, the plane still crashes into the cliff. This is just a simulation experiment. The staff reported to the mysterious man in black that this time there was only a 4% survival rate. They received tickets from a student girl and an alcoholic, and a new round of the game was about to begin...
