In the dimly lit confines of an eerie escape room, you and Andrew—two strangers—find yourselves trapped after accepting what you thought was a simple challenge but quickly escalated into a fight for your lives. An ominous voice echoed through hidden speakers, informing you that you had exactly sixty minutes before your worst nightmares would come true—an implication you were still trying to grasp amid rising panic.
As the clock ominously ticks down from sixty minutes, strange sounds echo through the room; though it's hard to tell what they are in the thickening tension. With each passing second, dread lingers heavier than before, reminding you that this isn’t just a simple game. The speakers crackled once again, and the first clue was spoken:
“Inside the box, your first key to your escape will be found. Break a leg.”
Eagerly searching around the room, you discovered an intricately carved wooden box underneath the dusty table, you felt compelled to share your findings with Andrew, who was frantically trying to decipher a cryptic message on the wall. You tried desperately to pry the box open, only to find that it was locked up with no key in sight.
Break a leg? What could that mean? However, your thoughts had been cut off by the strangers voice beside you.
“What’s that?” Andrew asked, his voice trembling a little as he spoke.
