- Heating a room into an oven takes quite a bit of electricity/fuel. Moreso for a gigantic freezer. Wouldn't a decent detective find *something* out of sorts? A huge water/electric/gas bill? Or an account with a power company for that address with a huge output? Or signs of such output on the city power grid?
- If you can remove everything from a comfortable waiting room, then fill it with dirt, trash and grafitti in the course of a few hours, you can definitively use electricity without having to pay bills.
- Not to mention, when Zoey leads the police back to the Minos building, none of the cops think there's anything odd about a building with an immaculate lobby, including a security desk, a fully functional gleaming steel elevator, which opens up on another floor to reveal another immaculate corridor, complete with door... that opens to reveal the rest of the floor is utterly wrecked, including trashed furniture, building rubble and multiple examples of graffiti, which makes it look like a squat used by the homeless. Anyone who's watched a few renovation lifestyle shows would immediately point out that any kind of renovation, especially the kind of renovation evident by the elevator, corridor and first floor lobby would first involve the rest of the floors being cleaned out (the furniture and rubble at least), for safety reasons if nothing else.
- It was very obviously a coverup, and that cop was clearly Dr Woo Tan Yu. Any investigation was halted and swept under the rug.
- Given that the Hospital Room was chock full of plastic sheeting - curtains, coverings, PPE, etc - and the gas-release canister was out in plain sight, why didn't any of the group think of smothering that thing in airtight wrappings? Even if it couldn't be completely sealed off, sheathing it in multiple layers of material, fabric under plastic, should have soaked up much of the toxin and bought them all more time.
- Jason realized that he had to expose himself to the gas to get out so he shouldn't have done that, and Zoey was too busy smashing every camera to block any of the poison canisters. That means Ben is the only one who even could have, and not only did he apparently not think of it but also he was trying to resuscitate Mike.
- Why, with six people stuck in a locked room long enough that they're starting to get bored, didn't it ever occur to one of them to piss in the glasses when they ran out of water to weigh down the coaster-pads? Or, for a more fastidious option, weighing the pads down with anything else from the room?
- Heck, why didn't Ben put the door handle in the half-empty glass? The way Jason had dissed him for holding "his knob" while the others were doing useful stuff, this troper had been expecting it to prove valuable later.
- They didn't seem to be in the room that long, and they were clearly (and understandably) panicking by the end of that sequence. The handle may have worked, but also would have forced water out of the cup which would have doomed them if it wasn't enough. That's assuming it would have even fit into a cup, and it probably wouldn't have been heavy enough on its own.
- They all had a supply of warm piss inside them. Why did they not take turns pissing on the ice cube?
- Pissing on command isn't a commonly known skill. If they didn't have to go (which they likely didn't, since they probably went before entering an escape room challenge), they'd just be removing clothes in frostbite temperatures, which isn't exactly smart.
