Escape Room

How much further?

- Uncle Ammon, how far shall we go? - Until I say we've walked enough.

Can't we just stop and rest for a bit?

This spot will do.

- What is that? - Dig.

- Dig? Dig what? - Dig a hole.

- I'm not here to dig for you! - You're here because you were too curious.

- But why should I dig a hole? - Because I say so. Take it!

Done. I'm really hungry.

Then eat.

- Don't you want to join me? - I'm not hungry.

Don't be angry, uncle. I didn't mean it. I'm just tired and hungry.

I'm not angry, but you should have stayed away from it.

This was not something you were supposed to see. That's why you are here now.

Otherwise, I would have taken this trip alone.

Don't touch it.

It's just a box. What is wrong with you?

- What happens next? - We must bury it.

Bury it? Did we walk for two days to bury a box?

Yes.

Why?

I think you've heard the stories.

Yes.

Then you know why.

Come on! They are just spooky stories for kids.

They are true!

It will be found.

Do as you like, old fool. Bury it if it makes you feel better.

Nobody is going to find it out here.

It was found before and it will be found again.

Who would look for a box here? There's nothing but snakes and scorpions.

This box will be found.

Next time you want to teach me a lesson, do it at home.

You didn't have to drag me here. Wait till people hear this story.

- Nobody has to know we were here. - Nobody will find out.

- But someone already knows. - Who?

God damn it.

Oh, here we go.

Hello?

Molly, it's me.

Ah, good morning, Me.

Starting early today are we, Me?

Listen, I've been online for the past couple of hours

looking at all the usual sites,

and we're not on any of the top lists, not one.

And you're calling to tell me this because?

Well who else am I gonna call?

Okay, first of all, calm down.

You're gonna give yourself an aneurism.

Second, it's gonna be fine.

I know, I'm sorry, I...

This was supposed to be fun, remember?

I'm sorry, I just, I need this to be a big season or...

It will be.

I'm gonna be at the office soon, okay?

I'm heading over there now.

You stay by the phone.

Maybe things will pick up.

I'll be in soon.

Okay, see you soon.

All right.

Looking for anything in particular?

Not really, just looking around, thanks.

Some amazing stuff in here.

Is it authentic?

It is, hence the price.

Holy shit.

To most, that dream catcher would be

nothing more than a decorative piece,

something to put out on the patio.

But to that one person out there, the right person,

someone plagued with nightmares for instance,

it is nearly priceless.

I don't know if I'm your bread and butter

type of customer, but your shop is speaking my language.

Incredible stuff.

Have you ever heard of escape rooms?

I run a popular one here in town, Deranged.

Maybe you've heard of it?

It's a pretty cool deal.

You should try it some time.

Listen, I'm lookin' for somethin' to,

to spice it up a little bit, something special,

know what I mean?

I gotta stay a cut above the,

above the competition.

You see anything to your liking so far?

Yeah, actually I do.

What is that?

Oh, nothing you'd be interested in.

I'm interested, it's perfect.

It's nice and foreboding.

It is, but it's not for sale.

Are you sure?

Quite sure.

What am I missing?

You uh, you sell things here, right?

I do, and some things, I do not sell.

This box is not to be trifled with.

It's no toy, no simple decor piece.

Why don't you try one of the iron cast

candle holders over there?

I'm sure that it would do wonders for your room's ambiance.

Nah, that box, that box has me hooked.

It just,

It has a way of doing that.

What, it's got voodoo powers coursing through it, huh?

Voodoo has nothing to do with it.

That box has a history, a dark one.

You're just reeling me in more and more,

you know that, right?

It's called the Skull Box.

It's considered to be, to those in the know,

one of the most cursed objects in the world,

right up there with the crying boy painting

and the Annabelle doll.

The one from the film?

No, the real one.

So what's the story?

No one knows where it came from originally

or who made it.

It's reputed to hold a demon inside of it,

a very old one.

All is well as long as the box remains closed,

which it is, always.

A demon, huh?

You really believe in all that?

Demons are real.

It has nothing to do with believing or disbelieving.

It simply is.

Well, fair enough, but if it's so dangerous,

why keep it here?

Better here in safe hands,

than out there in the hands of those who don't understand

or respect the power it contains.

Name your price.

Not for sale.

Excuse me one moment.

Hello?

Yes, I do know.

Absolutely.

All right.

Don't get it wet, and whatever you do,

don't feed it after midnight.

Okay, call me back.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Can't talk, working.

Oh, is that what we're calling it now?

I can't write my review of the game

until I play the game, can I?

Are you ready?

Are you sure you're ready for me to be ready?

We gotta leave this place in like two minutes

if we wanna get there on time.

Do we really have to go?

Yes.

You are gonna love it babe, promise.

I doubt that.

Horror is my first love.

Don't be jealous.

I was gonna wear that shirt tonight.

Oh, well,

guess you're just gonna have to come and get it.

This is level six, babe.

Level six, do you know how hard it is...

Forget it.

Shit.

Hey.

Hey, you guys left yet?

Not yet, leaving in a few though.

I basically have to drag Angie to this thing

by her ankles, so hope...

Hey man, just one second.

Hey, nice costume, truly terrifying.

Smart ass.

Hey Jess, Ben's here.

Okay, I'll be right there.

What about you guys?

I'm picking up Jess as we speak.

Cool, see you there.

Hey uh, tonight's the night

I'm gonna ask her to move in with me.

You sure about this?

Yeah, I'm sure.

I think you're crazy to do it, give up your domain.
