There are six of them in the movie “Escape Room”. And they came to have a good time, to play a quest (you just need to find a way out of the room) and at the same time get a tidy sum of money – at least, the organizer of the quest promised many, many dollars to the quest. Only one problem: before anyone could do it. So will our heroes be able to do it? With each new room, the six heroes realize that something is wrong here, and everything that at first seemed to them an evil joke of the organizers may turn out to be a reality. (more…)

Since the girl has a younger brother and sister, the newly minted parents automatically become large and have no idea what adventure they are embroiled in.

The problem is that under unclear circumstances, clearly related to the sharing of the loot, MacDonald suffered a head injury and now does not remember where the money is.
