Top 10 Escape Room Movies Till 2023

This genre of films started getting popularity in 2010 and it had to be noticed by the makers. The basic idea of such film is that a group of people are locked inside a room or building and they need to solve a bunch of riddles and puzzles to get out of it free and safe. Let us see some of the best escape room movies you can watch. 

1. Cube 

Here, five strangers wake up in a cubical room with no memory of how they got there. As they try to move to find their way out they realise that they are trapped in a maze where all the room are identitical. The only difference lies in the colours and their are several puzzles in the rooms which have the key to escape.

2. Cube 2: Hypercube 

It is a bigger and over-the-top on the premises compared to the first sequel. A group of strangers are trapped in a cubical room with little hope to escape. The rooms are bright and sleek in design. 

3. Saw 

It shows two men locked in a room and chained to pipes and there is a body facing downwards in a pool of blood. As the film goes on, the men find out how they are connected and why they are trapped in the room. 

4. Saw II 

This sequel fits perfectly to the subgenre of escape rooms. There are two plots in the film which eventually meet by the end. In the Saw series most of the puzzles are kind of clear as what has to be done to get out but this one is a bit tangled with larger puzzles. 

5. Fermat's Room 

Some brilliant mathematicians are invited to participate in solving a great mathematic engima. As they arrive at the location, they realise that they have been locked in the room. They are then given a series of problems and if they don't solve them in the set time limit then walls of the rooms will gradually come closed until they are crushed. 

6. Breathing Room 

It is a low budget thriller which takes ispiration from big films of the genre. Like Cube and others, it shows some stranger waking up to a room with no memeory of how they got there. 

7. Exam 

It doesn't exactly fit to the genre but has a lot of thrill. Here, eight people are placed in a room for an employment exam and they were told that they have only one question and were also given three rules: no talking to the armed guard at the door, do not mess up your paper, and anyone who leaves the room is disqualified. They are then left alone with an 80 minute time limit. 

8. Escape Room 

The US was attracted by this genre a lot and filmmakers wanted to have a taste of it. Two films where released in 2017 with the same name. It is scary as well beacuse as the story starts, the man is possessed and started murdering people. 

9. Escape Room 

It is the second film and a bit grounded than the first one. It is about the group of friend who go to a high-priced, exclusive escape room to celebrate the birthday of one of their friend. 

10. Jigsaw 

As with almost every movie in the franchise, Jigsaw splits focus between people figuring out traps and the investigation trying to stop the games.
