History Film / EscapeRoomTournamentOfChampions

* ArtisticLicenseChemistry: In reality, hydrochloric acid is extremely potent to the point where the fumes alone can cause breathing problems along with skin and eye irritation. Yet in the City Streets room, the participants display no such symptoms and are able to step on the ground and pavement that are literally wet with acid without it melting or eating through their shoes. [[spoiler: Special mention goes to when Rachel and Brianna are locked out of the cab, and futilely pound on the windows and cab as if it was just dripping with water.]]

* GasChamber: Claire's LuxuryPrisonSuite doubles as another escape room, requiring her to solve a puzzle that only be completed with outside help. After three failed tries, the room fills with poison gas.

[[/folder]]

* LaserHallway: The second room features a bank that has deadly lasers which will activate if the floor is stepped on incorrectly. The puzzle comes with navigating the right path to the quickly closing safe.

** After Rachel reveals her condition to Zoey that prevents her from feeling physical pain, she doesn't elaborate on any kind of traps she had to endure like Brianna and Theo, instead bitterly telling her to just imagine "what Minos came up with for the pain freaks."

* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: It's revealed that Amanda survived the events of the previous film after she fell and ended up having a soft landing. Minos later forced her to create the games [[IHaveYourWife in exchange for her daughter Sonya's life]], as she was kidnapped by the organization.]]

* AssholeVictim: Henry is killed by Claire in revenge for imprisoning her. Given that he and his corporation sent countless numbers of innocent victims to their deaths by forcing them to play in dangerous escape rooms all for the sake of entertaining their psychopathic clients, forcing Claire to design escape rooms for which he takes all the credit instead of getting her proper treatment or euthanizing her for her psychopathy, it's safe to say no tears will be shed over his death.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In the ending, Claire turns the tables on Henry by trapping him in the prison he used to imprison her, before activating the protocols that releases deadly gas to kill him.

* HellIsThatNoise: The acid rain sprinklers in the City Streets room produce an eerie whine as they pressurize to start spraying, sounding almost like PsychoStrings. It only adds to the horror of the room, [[spoiler: especially just before Briana and Rachel die.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Nathan sacrifices himself to save Rachel from sinking in quicksand in the beach room.]]

* WeHardlyKnewYe: The cast doesn’t even get to know the name of the first player that dies in the game. Nate also asks if anyone at least knew his name. [[spoiler:He’s credited as Theo at the end of the movie.]] Funnily enough, he’s not even on the official poster of the movie!

* WhamShot: Rachel and Zoey escape from the quicksand beach room to what seems to be a busy city street,[[spoiler: only to realize it's another escape room when Brianna appears, the underground tunnel they exited from seals itself and the scenery glitches and short-circuits. As Brianna futilely attempts to open the manhole leading to said tunnel, Rachel notices numerous acid burns and blisters on Brianna's shirt and back.]]
-->'''Rachel, inspecting Brianna's back''': Oh, my God...what did they do to you?

* AssholeVictim: Henry is killed by Claire in revenge for imprisoning her. Given that he and his corporation sent countless numbers of innocent victims to their deaths by forcing them to play in dangerous escape rooms all for entertaining their clients, as well as [[spoiler:taking all of the credit for Claire's escape room designs]], it's safe to say no tears will be shed over his death.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Claire. She acts nice to Zoey (even saving Ben as a means of proving she can be trusted) as she needs her help to break out of her glass prison and pulls a very convincing BrokenBird act. It's then revealed that she was imprisoned in the first place because Henry believed she was too ''dangerous'' to keep unrestrained; she is a psychopath who created [[EvenEvilHasStandards such dangerous escape rooms that even Henry refused to allow them]], and killed her own mother because she wanted to send her to an asylum when recognizing her TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: In the ending, Claire turns the tables on Henry by trapping him in the prison he used to imprison her, before activating the protocols releasing deadly gas to kill him.

** [[spoiler:It can be speculated that either Amanda went off to try and save her daughter, or was recaptured by Minos again, given that Zoe's and Ben's flight home is revealed to be another escape room.]]

** Early in the film, there are hints that the whole movie is set up by Minos. With the therapist claiming that "everything is a clue." and asking Zoey "What is it gonna take to get you on that plane?" Given the ending of the last movie, we know Minos hijacked Zoey's plane and turned it into another room. [[spoiler:Naturally, in the end, the things the therapist said could be a clue are present. As well as a lighthouse behind her when she asks what it will take to get Zoey on the plane. By the time Zoey realizes this, it's far too late.]]

* GoryDiscretionShot: A particularly morbid example: [[spoiler: the only reason we don’t see the full extent of Briana and Rachel’s death is because they’re obscured by the fumes coming off of their ''rapidly-melting corpses.'']]

* HisNameIs: [[spoiler:Theo was looking at a map which clues the remaining letters when a lightning shocks him into grabbing an electrified metal bar which fries him to death. The aforementioned lightning also burns the map. Thankfully, a LED display shows already-inputted letters that spell out an almost-complete phrase, allowing Zoey to figure out the remaining letters.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Rachel, who begins the game hostile and sarcastic (understandably so given the situation and natural stress), but she's also quite quick to offer comfort and aid to the other players, checking Brianna's injury when the train car crashes, comforting Zoey when [[spoiler: it seems like Ben has died in the Beach Room and she's guilt-ridden by his apparent death]], and calming a terrified Brianna when [[spoiler: they're both about to be killed by the acid rain in the City Streets Room.]]

* WhamShot: Rachel and Zoey escape from the quicksand beach room to what seems to be a busy city street, only to realize it's another escape room when Brianna appears, the underground tunnel they exited from seals itself and the scenery glitches and short-circuits. As Brianna futilely attempts to open the manhole leading to said tunnel, Rachel notices numerous acid burns and blisters on Brianna's shirt and back.

** Brianna gives a brief one to Theo when he tosses metal keys at her in an electrified subway car, which causes said keys to get zapped and fried while barely missing the players.

* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler: When Brianna and Rachel are locked out in the open and about to be killed by acid rain, a calm Rachel urges a terrified Brianna to not "give them the satisfaction" and to face their death with dignity. Urging her not to give their watchers any kind of show.]]

* DwindlingParty: Much like the first film, each member of the group dies one by one. [[spoiler: Zoey and Ben are once again the only survivors, with Amanda having been revealed to be alive as well.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: While it's assumed that Amanda fled to safety with Zoey and Ben outside, she's not seen at the police station or afterward, making her fate slightly ambiguous.]]
** [[spoiler:It can be speculated that Amanda went off to try and save her daughter.]]
* WhatTheHellHero: After the group barely survives the bank room, Ben calls out the unconscious Nathan for nearly getting them killed with his thoughtless actions. Sure, he genuinely believed he was doing good. But it still put them all at risk.

* CheatedDeathDiedAnyway: As the title indicates, the players are all survivors of previous escape room challenges who are forced to partake in a new game. Since the players are all skilled survivors, [[SequelEscalation the rooms are even more merciless than in the last film]].

* CheatedDeathDiedAnyway: As the title indicates, the players are all survivors of previous escape room challenges who are forced to partake in a new game.

* ArtificialOutdoorsDisplay: The sequel repeats this several times, with the third room looking like an expansive beach until the players use a polaroid camera to take a picture of the horizon, at which point the illusion fades and they can see the ocean and sky are clearly painted on the walls. The fourth room is deliberately made to look like a busy downtown city street to [[HopeSpot make the players think they escaped]] when it's really just another death trap--with timed downpours of '''acid rain'''.
