10 Horror Movie Puzzles You Would Never Survive

6. Finding The Missing Link - Nine Dead

On the surface it seems like a pretty straight-forward task: you’re trapped in a room with eight other people, and you have to crack the mystery of how it is that you are all connected to each other.

The problem is that any further analysis of this task will immediately reveal that you all have complex lives with a million different things going on in them, and whittling down everyone’s entire stories to just one important fibre is a much larger task than you previously thought.

This is where it gets harder once again: every ten minutes, the orchestrator of this scheme will come in and kill one person until all of the connections are figured out. That gives you all ninety minutes total before you’re all dead, but also the possibility that in just ten minutes from the start, anyone could be shot.

It’s a task that requires time, ideally everyone having a notepad and pen, and also a clear head to process all the new information and draw links between stories. None of this is on the table, so the chances of you surviving to the end of that ninety minutes by working it all out are very slim.
