The Escape Rooms are just as bad, if not worse than before:
- The Subway Train Room starts off with the unsuspecting players being faced with a series of harsh electric currents that spread across the room, which grows increasingly intense as time passes on. Eventually, they're forced to crawl just to avoid being electrocuted to death. Theo is the first to go when he is electrified to death upon being unable to release his accidental grip from a metallic support beam. Looking closely, you see his mouth start to foam as he dies a painful death.
- The Bank Room forces the players to stand on the correct sequence of floor tiles before the bank door closes, while also avoiding being brutally burned by the security lasers if the wrong tiles are stepped on. Despite it being the only Escape Room that failed to kill anyone, it still shows itself to be incredibly dangerous, with Brianna suffering a burn from one of the lasers that fuses her skin with her shirt.
- The Beach Room causes the sand to become quicksand after enough time passes; forcing the participants to find the escape route before the whole room is totally submerged. Nathan is the next to die after sacrificing himself to rescue Rachel, who had become completely submerged underneath the sand. Ben is also seemingly killed as he falls into the quicksand when, trying to climb up a ladder, one of the handles breaks off and causes him to fall. A helpless Zoey can only watch as his body becomes submerged underneath and is traumatized by his apparent death, having become close enough to consider him her best friend.
- The City Streets Room tricks the remaining survivors into believing that they have actually escaped to the surface, only to reveal that the streets are yet another Escape Room. When enough time passes, acid rain falls and quickly burns anything it touches, leaving only an ample amount of shelter until there's no more protection from the rain. It is also the only room where it will only accept one participant as the winner. This unintentionally becomes Zoey, who is Forced to Watch as Rachel and Brianna are burned to death by the acid rain before being dropped into a different room.
- It's especially gutwrenching when you hear a despaired Brianna begin to sob how she doesn't want to die, with Rachel calmly urging her to "not give them the satisfaction" of a show and to Face Death with Dignity. As the acid rain begins to fall onto her, you hear Brianna scream in agony as the acid burns her alive. Keep in mind, Rachel is physically unable to feel pain. So what does she at least try to do then? She tries to shield Brianna with her own body, but they're both rendered melted corpses.
- The Bedroom is the final Escape Room, which reveals the alive Amanda, who has been forced to do Minos' bidding in exchange for the safety of her daughter, Sonya. Amanda cries, "They BROKE me!" She says she didn't want to, but they didn't give her a choice. And it's been made abundantly clear how badly they broke her: Amanda is a far cry from the tough, quick-thinking, military veteran audiences loved her as in the first film. Here, she's shaking, feeble, quick to tears, and has to be prodded by Zoey into helping her, whom she pleads with to just join Minos to make things easier. When Zoey refuses to help Minos and tries to save Ben, Amanda begins pounding on the door and pleads with Minos to let her go as she did everything they asked her to and is in tears. Makes you wonder what the hell they did to turn Amanda into a Broken Bird who's all but a shell of her former self.
- Also, she tells Zoey that Minos is going to force her to work for him as well since they want the one person who beat them to create new rooms as the next Puzzle Maker. A disgusted Zoey refuses to help them, but Amanda says they'll take everything she loves if she doesn't. A furious Zoey yells, "They took everything else!" Amanda sadly says that's not true. A light then turns on and Ben is revealed to still be alive and imprisoned in the room next to them. Minos is using Ben as blackmail against Zoey: if she refuses to comply with them, they'll kill Ben. A stubborn Zoey still refuses to obey them, making Minos nearly drown Ben as a consequence. A desperate Zoey tries to break him out, and barely saves him out at the last second just before he drowns.
- The Extended Cut reveals that Claire is such a monstrous psychopath that even the people running Minos thought her games were too twisted to use. To realize so much of her previous appearance was an act hiding her true nature makes the reveal of her true persona more terrifying than any of the traps.
- Rachel Ellis's previous escape challenge was designed around her and her fellow players' inability to feel physical pain. She doesn't elaborate on the traps they faced, leaving it to Zoey's imagination, but the implication is that, even by Minos' standards, they were sadistic.
