Amid the scare-inducing premise, calm, clear thinking is championed. And teamwork is a necessity to survive.

Though setup and several story elements are similar to Saw franchise, Escape Room is significantly less graphic, with notably less blood/gore. Still, elaborate traps lead to fatalities (drowning/freezing, falling, electrocution, etc.). There's a shooting, a fight that leads to a mortal wound, other murder attempts. But despite essential cruelty of the "game," the deaths aren't drawn out as they are in the Saw movies. Main element here is peril rather than explicit violence. Teen drinking leads to fatal car accident.

In the process of insulting someone, a character talks about having sex. A couple of innuendoes.

Occasional profanity includes one use of "f--k," plus "a--hole," "s--t," "d--k," "son of a bitch," "ass," "hell," "goddamn," "knob."
