Zoey falls into the next room while Rachel and Brianna succumb to the rain and die.
The group opens a taxi to escape into but once Zoey enters, the taxi locks Rachel and Brianna out. If they do not make it out of this room, acid rain is periodically sprayed on them. Overjoyed at first that they are outside, they quickly realize they are still in the game when they encounter a panicked Brianna. Zoey and Rachel make their way out through a manhole back into the city. Brianna escapes through the main exit while Rachel and Zoey traverse to the alternate route. An argument on which route to take breaks out Rachel and Ben side with Zoey.
Zoey finds an alternate route out just as Brianna unlocks the intended exit. While Rachel is sinking, Nathan sacrifices himself to save Rachel and is swallowed up by the sand. They discover that the beach is covered in quicksand. The next room is a postcard-like beach with more references to Sonya. While in the room, Zoey is perplexed by frequent references to someone called Sonya and that the escape rooms have no apparent connection to the group unlike before. The group manages to decipher the complex route to get around the lasers and escape with just seconds to spare. The next room is a bank with a slowly closing vault and a deadly laser security system. Nathan reveals his escape room group were all priests, Brianna's were all influencers, and Rachel's consisted of people who cannot feel physical pain. To escape, the group must collect subway tokens as the electrification increases. Zoey and Ben learn that the others are the "winners" of previous escape rooms, having survived them. As the passengers realize in horror that they are once again in Minos' deadly game, the train becomes electrified. Their train car separates from the rest of the train and is redirected to a remote station, sealing Zoey, Ben, and other passengers Rachel, Brianna, Nathan, and Theo inside. She and Ben give chase straight into the Q subway train. The pair find the headquarters derelict and are accosted by a vagrant who steals Zoey's necklace. Zoey is encouraged by her therapist to move on from her trauma and to get over her aerophobia, but she opts to drive with Ben instead of flying.
