You wake up feeling hazy and heavy. Once you have your eyes open, you realize you have no idea where you are. The room is a pale beige color with concrete floor. There’s a letter right in front of you. You decide to read it.

Dear Mii,
Good evening. Guess what, you’ve been selected for my newest game. It’s called ‘Escape the Lair’! I’m a huge escape artist fan and decided to allow other people play as one too. Everything you need to get out of this building is inside this building. Oh, but I should tell you, Doe is trapped somewhere in this building and it’s up to you to find and save her if you desire. Also, if you try to leave this building without first defusing the bomb planted through the building, you’ll find the exit is rigged and the whole place will go up with you and Doe. Think of this as a scavenger hunt. Everything you need is here, you just have to find it. Assuming you don’t soil your pants and sit there until you starve to death first. Good luck.

There’s a door to your left, to your right, and right in front of you. There’s no door behind you. The doors are metal. Other than the letter, the room is completely bare. What do you do?

@mii

Mii first realized that the sound of her bedrooms fan wasn't blowing in the background, as usual. Then she slowly became aware that she was laying on a hard, concrete surface rather than her reasonably softer mattress. She forced her eyes open and lifted her shivering body into a half sitting position, looking around. Looking around wildly, it hit her that she was no longer in the Skyscraper.

The room was dimly lit with a flickering light bulb handing from the cieling from a black, frail wire. She noticed a trio of doors around her. One on her left, one of her right, and one directly in front of her. She immediatly got up to run toward one of them, but stopped dead as she noticed a slip of paper with writing on it.

Mii's heart beat in her ears as she read and reread the note over and over with a scrambled mind. She had worked out enough that EA stood for 'Escape Artist', but that didn't give her much to work with. She had never heard of a villain with a name like that. Her mind was focused on Doe. She didn't know if EA was serious about havin her captured, but she wasn't going to take any chances.

Mii was used to scenario's similar to this. The pressure, the fear, and the lack of information needed. Only this time her sister was at stake. She had never encountered that kind of thing before. She observed the doors. What would happen if she chose the wrong one?

Mii looked around the room frantically for something, anything. Doe clearly didn't have her headband in if she wasn't communicating by now. That would just make things worse. She wished that the room had something to use as a weapon. Alas, the room was empty. So, choosing a door was her only option.

Mii observed each identicle door, feeling worse and worse by the minute. What if one of the doors blew up the building at it's opening? Perhaps it wasn't likely, because what would honestly be the point of that? Unless of course, EA took pleasure in forcing people to kill themselves like Jigsaw from the film franchise Saw. Mii sighed, rubbing her temples. She'd just have to use intuition, because there weren't any clues in the note that she could tell. Her only indication of which door to choose based on the letter was probably a mere coincidence, seeing as Mii did look heavilly into things.

In the first few sentences of the letter, you could scramble a few of the letters to create the word 'door' and the word 'one' was in the sentence as well. Once again, it was a long shot, but at least it helped her make some kind of decision without it just being her own idea. She had no other choice, but to choose door number one. She had nothing else to go on and she wanted to get herself and Doe to safety as soon as possible.

Hesitating, Mii opened the first door, taking a look inside before entering.

You chose the door to your left. The door is unlocked and you enter a small dimly lit hallway. The floor is still a grey concrete. The walls are a pale beige. There's an eerie silence over the building. It's almost deafening. You can see there's one door to your right. It's a metal door, just like the one you opened from the room. Beyond that you can see another hallway that branches right. Some options you have is to explore the hallway that branches right, try to open the door on the right, or go back into the room you started in and try another door.

Mii looked at the situation given to her and huffs. Another door. As if the choice before wasn't agonizing. Mii sighed, looking at her options. She could go back and look through another door, but so far this seemed safe. Keep moving forward, right? She made her way down the hall, still lost for options.

Still, it hit her. Perhaps she should go back to the other doors. Maybe she should check every door possible before choosing one and only one. She reentered the original room. She thought about it. She chose the door to her left first and there had been a door to her right entering that room. So, perhaps the middle door with was to the right of the left door was connected to the door on the right when she entered the left? She opened the middle door.

You chose to go back into the room and choose the middle door which from your perspective now is a metal door to your left. You find this door is unlocked as well. This door opens to a very long narrow hallway. You can see there are two metal doors to your left, and one metal door to your right. Beyond that, you can see an intersection of hallways that you can chose to go left or right down the new connecting hallways or continue straight. If you were to continue straight there is one metal door to your left, and one to your right. Beyond that right door, you can see another hallway leading right. But if you continue pass that hallway, you can see there is one more door to your left, one more to your right, and at the very end of the hallway, there is a door in the middle. The hallway walls are beige just like the room and the other hallway you've been into. The floor is still concrete. The lights are dim but not flickering. You can see there's a sign on the first metal door to your right, but nothing else tells the doors apart from each other. You consider the options of choosing any of these doors, hallways, or going back into the room and trying the last door.

Mii opened the middle door and gave an exasperated sigh. What the heck was wrong with this person? Why was she left with so many choices? Which one was wisest? She considered going back to check the last door, but what if it simply led to another load of doors and decisions. She stared with dismay and walked back into the dreaded original room and she was encountered with the last door. The final moment of truth. What could be behind it? She would have to suck it up and find out. Mii sighed with dismay and entered the last door.

You choose to go back into the room and choose the last door you haven't opened yet. From your perspective this is now the door on your left. You find this door is unlocked as well and you are able to enter a dimly light small hallway, very much similar to the first hallway you tried except is seems a little longer than the first hallway. There is a door to your left, and a hallway that leads to your left beyond that. You can hear a soft sound of shuffling, but you're not sure where it's coming from. The door is metal, just like every other door you've seen. The hallway is still a pale beige just like the starting room and the other hallways. The floor is still concrete. You now know where each of the three starting doors lead and can choose from any of them or you can continue in this hallway and try the door or explore the hallway.

Mii knew now that she had to go forward. There was no going back to the original room. She made her way down the hall and surprise! More freaking doors. Mii huffed. She made her way through the door, immediatly hearing the sound of shuffling. Her instinct told her that it wasn't Doe. This situation would be made too easy and as much as she would love that, she knew that she wasn't that lucky.

This was one sadistic bastard, whoever he was. She could only hope that Doe and Rae were okay. Rae had gone on a trip to visit their parents, but that didn't guarentee her safety. Whoever this EA guy was, he didn't seem to have any boundaries whatsoever. Mii decided that the shuffling was to be avoided for now, so she turned to the door the left. Unfortunately, this was the moment to take a risk. A major risk.

You chose the door on the left. Upon opening this door you hear vicious snarls. To your surprise, this room is filled with about twenty pitbulls whose entire focus is on you. From your brief glance you notice that half of the pitbulls seem to be chained to the wall surrounding a small sack in the corner. However, the other half aren't chained. They have a ferocious look in their eyes. Before you can chose to go back into the hallway you came from, the door automatically shuts behind you. You turn to notice there is no doorknob on this side, so even if you wanted to try the door again, there's no chance.

Crap!

You spot a door across the room on the other wall. This seems to be your only escape. The pitbulls seem ready to eat you alive though. You will have to make it across the room to get to this door.

Mii stares with panic at the sight in front of her and her panic rises as the vicious dogs growl at her ferociously. She lets out a gasp of terror as the door slams behind her. She knows rationally that dogs respond well to calm behavior and energy rather than panic, which only riles them up worse. She had to run, she had to fight them off the best that she could. She literally had no choice. Good thing she was wearing long sleeves and jeans. She made a run for it, so grateful that she was such a fast runner. She had done lots of endurance and speed training over the years, so running was a god skill of hers. she just hoped that she could avoid the dogs wrath.

You chose to run for the door on the other side of the room. The dogs bark and attempt to attack as soon as you move. You get bit and scratched a bit, but since you're a fast runner and don't stop, the damage is minimum. You are able to reach the other door. This door luckily is unlocked. You enter the room to get away from the dogs, closing the door on them behind you. You can still hear them pounding on the door and barking wildly. This room is a small room with hardly anything in it, except, you do notice a small key on the ground in the direct center of it. There is nothing else in this room but the key. The lights above flicker slightly and the wall has cracked and peeling grey paint. There is a door in front of you on the other wall.

Mii arrived inside of the next room, gasping heavily from shock. She could still hear the dogs and felt her heard thudding out of her chest. This villain WAS truly psycho! Pitt bulls were known to be the most vicious dogs ever. She composed herself with difficulty and looked arounf the room, spotting a key and another door. She grabbed it, just wanting to get whatever was next to get over with. Being in the Military allowed her to distance herself from her emotions throughout this. she was all action, no thought. She just had to get Doe. she approached the door and opened it with ease. the key must play a role elsewhere.

You opened the door and entered a medium sized hallway. As you step out into this dim hallway, the sounds of the dogs subside into nothing. You conclude they have either calmed down or the hallway may be sound proof. You notice there's a door behind you at the end of the hallway that direction. If you look ahead of you, you notice a metal door to your right. Beyond that, there is an intersection which has a hallway leading to the left or right. If you continue straight pass those hallways, there is one other metal door to your right, one to your left, and finally beyond that there is a hallway that leads left at the end of the hallway in this direction.

Invetory:

Mii nearly screamed when she saw MORE DOORS. She wasn't a curser, but she let out a string of nasty words that she would have beaten Rae for if she'd said them. She stormed toward the door to her right. She would just have to keep going. No thinking. just going. She turned the knob to open it.

You chose the first door on your right. This door is unlocked and opens with ease. Inside the room you see a folded piece of paper in the center of a small room. The light seems dimmer than the hallway lighting. It's hard to see much, but nothing else seems to be in the room.

The folded paper has some handwritten instructions on it:

How to defuse the bomb:

1.) Find the wire cutters and new circuit board.
2.) Replace the circuit board before cutting any wires.
3.)Cut the green wire, and then the white.
4.) Type ESCAPE into the panel.

=)

There are doors on all of the walls. (Left, right, in front of you, and the door you just came from.)
