After the nurse in black finished speaking, the girl in the hospital gown added a few more details.
"One additional note: after you clear the first door, you'll have less time to solve the puzzles behind the second door, and even less behind the third."
"If any couple can beat the whole thing on their very first try, despite all the first-time traps, solve every puzzle, and uncover the truth, then... they'll receive one million on the spot!"
"Mm-hmm, but don't take that too seriously, because theoretically, it's impossible. Hehe! Even Sherlock Holmes and Conan couldn't do it!"
"Even getting advance tips from other players outside won't help!"
"Before the game starts, one final reminder: don't trust anyone except your partner!"
"And definitely don't share information!"
"Because many of the puzzles have different solutions in the same room. Entering a password that's already been used once will count as an immediate failure!"
"Oh, right, one last thing. Though it's extremely unlikely, if two or more teams make it through, a 'life-or-death showdown mode' will begin, which is a race to solve puzzles..."
Xiao Yu smiled dismissively at that.
The million was just a gimmick.
There was a time limit for solving the puzzles, and each individual little escape room would eliminate the slowest couple.
So only one couple would ultimately emerge from each door.
And that was assuming they avoided every trap and solved the puzzles within the time limit.

No matter how astronomical your IQ was, you still had to gather clues. Without clues, there was no way to solve the puzzles unless you used
