The first thing you have to know about Escape Room: The Game 2 is that, like its predecessor, you get a huge and slightly noisy bit of plastic in the box. This is the decoder that is going to sit as a hub of anxiety for your group over the next 60 minutes. It’s a timer, it’s where you slot the correct keys to escape, and it’s also covered in clues and cyphers to help you solve the puzzles in your way of escaping. It’s also going to buzz at you and take away a minute every time you get a key wrong and make ambient ‘tension noises’ throughout. It’s surprisingly effective as a way of piling on the pressure. Prior to release, the extended cut of the film was reported to feature 25 minutes of new footage; however, upon release it was discovered that the runtime of the film was only six minutes longer than the theatrical cut. The extended version of the film largely reshapes the plot of the film, entirely removing Deborah Ann Woll's character from the film. Isabelle Fuhrman and James Frain instead appear as Claire and Henry, respectively, who reveal more about Minos' inner workings behind the scenes. This large change in narrative has led critics to wonder how future installments of the franchise will be affected by these "incompatible" plotlines.
