The movie received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the atmosphere and cast, but criticized the familiar plot and its failure to take full advantage of its premise. The plot involves six people from varied backgrounds who are presented with a puzzle cube. When they solve the puzzle, they are invited to take part in an escape room with a USD 10,000 prize.
It is revealed that all of the six players were each sole survivors of various disasters: Mike escaped a mine cave-in, Zoey survived a plane crash, Danny survived when his family died of carbon monoxide poisoning, Amanda survived an IED blast, Jason survived a shipwreck in frigid weather, and Ben survived a car accident where his friends died. The Gamemaster explains that each year they lure in players with something in common – college athletes, wealthy viewers, savants, etc – and bet on the result. The game ends when one of the players kills the Gamemasters, who then kills himself. The police do not believe the players as all evidence of the game has disappeared, as Ben was found to have disappeared.
