Obviously it's another trap, and she and Ben, who tags along for moral support, quickly find themselves inside yet another series of escape rooms alongside four survivors of previous competitions (Indya Moore, Holland Roden, Thomas Cocquerel, and Carlito Olivero). This knowledge eats away at the back of Zoey's mind until she decides to return to the lions' den, using a series of coordinates to find what she believes to be Minos' headquarters in Manhattan. The escape rooms were created by a company called Minos, designed as a sort of modern gladiatorial competition with life-or-death consequences for the entertainment of wealthy elites to watch at a safe distance. Tournament of Champions reintroduces us to Zoey (Taylor Russell) and Ben (Logan Miller), the two survivors of the previous series of escape rooms who managed to uncover the sinister origins of the deadly game. The first (and hopefully not last) of those sequels, Escape Room: Tournament of Champions, has arrived, and it's just as much fun as its predecessor. If you've seen the first Escape Room, you know that, though some characters ended up surviving the series of deadly puzzles with enough time to uncover the vast conspiracy behind it all, their journey was far from over, handily setting up sequel after sequel. I saw it on a Thursday afternoon whim with a friend, and we could barely believe how much fun we had watching a great concept played to perfection. Escape Room, the 2019 thriller about a group of people who answer an invitation to test out a brand new escape room only to discover that they're trapped inside a deadly game whose only way out is through, was perhaps the most pleasant surprise of that year.
