The escape room that should rely on logic to decrypt the customs clearance has no logic

Room escape is a game that has only emerged in recent years. In the past, there were very few movies with similar themes. I originally invited a friend to go to an Internet cafe to open a black hole, but my friend came 2 hours late for something. .

There are a lot of room escape games in Guangzhou, and I have been fortunate enough to play it once or twice. I know a little bit about it. In my opinion, escape room needs to be cleared through logic decryption, which tests the player's reasoning ability, but it still appears in this film. There are many logical loopholes, it can be said that I am nitpicking, but this film should accept higher requirements from the audience.

1. In a high-temperature secret room, the switch to open the exit needs to be pressed with a certain weight of object. Originally, the official correct solution for this level is water and a water cup, but in the plot, the female soldier drank a cup of water, and the weight was insufficient, and finally the male protagonist used it. The wine you carry with you will make up the weight for customs clearance.

There is a logical loophole here, which means that as long as the weight is reached, you can pass the customs without using the official solution of water. In fact, you can smuggle newspapers, magazines, plastic fire extinguishers, and even game houses into the secret room without alcohol. All mobile phones can be used as load-bearing items, and the wine can be reserved for the next level, and I feel that wine is extremely useful in the second level.

2. In the ice and snow room, to open the exit door, you need to melt the ice cubes and take out the key. I don't think there is an official correct solution here, because if you only rely on human body temperature to melt the ice cubes, then if there are too few people to clear the first level, the second level If you can't take turns to cover, you must fail. I feel that everyone has missed a clue, so I took the stupidest way to melt with body temperature.

There are still three problems. In the first level, the male protagonist used the wine he carried with him to clear the customs, indicating that the use of foreign objects is allowed by the rules, but in the second level, when the male protagonist threw the lighter to the game house, the game house fell into the game house accurately. In the water, was it because game watchers thought he was out of the game, or was it purely luck?

The second problem is that the wine that was used in the first level, if it is kept in the second level, can be used as a combustion accelerant for lighters to quickly melt ice cubes, or drink it directly to increase body temperature. If you keep this extra item , the second pass is stable.

The third question, to unlock the door of the cabin, you must use the memory of the male protagonist to make him recall the name of the song he sang during the car accident. If the male protagonist dies in the first level, then the second Guan also wiped out the entire army.

3. To reverse the secret room, you need to find the password to open the safe and get the door handle to escape. The official solution here is to complete the puzzle and find the corresponding number of the color of the billiard ball from the puzzle.

In this level, the playing music and the noise of the interruption of the music indicate the time of the floor falling. I think this simple problem does not require the bright minds of the physics undergraduates to understand it. Female soldiers can completely ignore it. It's not a big problem to climb the pool table and walk directly to the floor.

4. Toxic gas chamber, this level needs to find the clues of the electrocardiogram tester first, and then complete the level with the "extreme" heartbeat. The official solution is to clear the level with a very low heartbeat.

There are a lot of logic problems in this level. Let’s talk about the heartbeat clearance first. I really don’t understand the working principle of the electrocardiogram tester. When the truck driver was put on the tester, the heartbeat was very fast. It became faster, and then was directly electrocuted. During this process, the heartbeat went from extremely high to stopped. Why didn't the door open?

I didn't notice the background explanation when I was watching the movie. Friends in the comment area reminded the black elite that he had a history of slow heart rate, so he could clear the level with a very slow heartbeat. Then the problem came again. He knew that his heartbeat was slow. He passed the level with an extremely slow heartbeat, so why didn't he try to pass the level with an extremely slow heartbeat first? Anyway, this customs clearance method is not dangerous. Electric shocking the truck driver is obviously life-threatening. The official also did not explicitly say that only the last person can clear the game. According to the rational thinking of black elites, killing a teammate here seems to do no harm to him?

Let's talk about the female lead of the physics department. When she smashed all the monitors, the countdown reached 0, and the poisonous gas began to be released. I don't know how to quickly find the oxygen mask to take a breath and pretend to be dizzy on the ground. And according to normal logic, she had to hold her breath during the period of pretending to be dizzy until the inspectors entered the venue. Judging from the inspectors' attire, the venue was still filled with poisonous gas at that time, but the heroine was able to hold her breath for a long time. Standing up, I still have the strength to knock out the two prosecutors with a stick. What's even more funny is that the two prosecutors were fully armed and armed, but they were knocked down. Obviously, the protagonist's halo is too strong.

In addition, the official solution of this level is obviously to control the heartbeat speed to clear the level. Why should an oxygen mask be installed here? It seems that there is no other use for the heroine to survive, and it can only be attributed to the protagonist's halo.

5. The psychedelic secret room, the exit was told to you at the beginning of this level. You can escape if you find the antidote. I have not seen the correct solution for this level. During the scuffle between the black elite and the male protagonist, the male protagonist somehow found the antidote. , there is no decryption part at all, no logic at all.

In addition, the character of the black elite is contradictory with the performance of the previous secret room. In this level, the male protagonist asked him about his surviving experience, and questioned that he killed his college classmates and robbed the down jacket to survive. The elite's answer was "it's not good for you to pursue these issues", which is almost equivalent to admitting the fact that he murdered himself. He is a person who will do anything to survive and protect himself first. But when the window of the consultation room was opened at the first level, the phone rang, and the black elite was the first to answer the phone. When the ventilation duct was opened, the black elite also volunteered to be the first to find the way. These scenes are again It seems that he is a responsible and adventurous person. The characters are actually quite contradictory.

If you don’t count the logical loopholes, the overall horror and horror atmosphere can be created. The plot is a little less scrutinized, but overall it is passable. "Thank you for your dedication to the country" shows that he knows the identity of the female soldier. Maybe this little character from the beginning is the ultimate behind-the-scenes boss. In any case, the second part should have been planned, I hope to learn from the lessons and do better than the first one.

    As a subdivided movie of Escape Room, there are already two big mountains in front of the different-dimensional killing array (the panic party) and the chainsaw horror, so the plot of this film is not the focus. The concept of the secret room (fire, wood, ice, air, poison, illusion, earth) is strong, the level of trap design fluctuates, the puzzle design is boring and the logic connection is weak, but the plot is compact, the atmosphere is excellent, and the ending Reversal subverts the genre and implies that the film will be made into a series. A type of film with obvious and unbalanced advantages and disadvantages. The motives of the surface-level secret room planners in the PS movie are simple and ordinary, and there are definitely inner-level behind-the-scenes planners, not only Minos, but also various other forces such as third parties and even fourth parties.

    It's not bad. 33 yuan to participate in a Hollywood-style "room escape". Every "box" in it is well designed. The movie will always compile such a fantasy for us. I think it's better than the new season of "Black Mirror" "nice.
