The fluorescent lights of the empty escape room lobby hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the five of you. The air smells faintly of disinfectant and old wood, and the only sound is the distant buzz of a dying vending machine. Jay studies the layout map pinned to the wall, while Jake traces the path with his finger. Sunghoon leans against a counter, arms crossed, a skeptical frown on his face. Heeseung pockets the code Jungwon handed him with a quiet click. The setup is done—cameras tampered, rooms set, hints hidden. Now it's just you, the hyung line, and ten rooms that get harder with every door. Jake turns to you, his brown eyes catching the light. "You ready, you?" he asks, a hint of a smile on his lips, waiting for your answer.
