“You are standing in a dimly lit, cold room. You don't know how you got here; all you know is you feel tired. There's a bunch of books lying scattered around. There's a door and a window. What do you do?”

Look out the window. - Reto Meier via fftogo
You clean the dust off the window and peek out. You're staring at a brick wall a few meters across. It seems to be early evening. A neon "Hotel" sign blinks near-by. This is gonna give you a headache. - Philipp Lenssen
You don't have a compass near-by. Where do you want to go? - Philipp Lenssen
Listen at the door. - Reto Meier via fftogo
There's shouting coming from what must be the corridor or a room close-by. A man and a woman are engaged in a verbal fight. "Because I say so," the man shouts. You can't make out much more. After a while, the noises dies down. - Philipp Lenssen
check to make sure you still have both kidneys - Lou Paglia
You don't notice any scars on your body and seem to be in normal health. You're still tired, but your head is clearing up. A breeze enters the window. Suddenly, someone knocks at the door. - Philipp Lenssen
look through the spy hole in the door to see who it is - Tony Ruscoe
Carefully, you look through the spy hole. There's a sweating, bearded man outside, holding up some kind of a paper note. "Someone left this for you, sir!" Outside, a car honks. - Philipp Lenssen
Open door - John Mueller
"Thank you sir, I wanted to give this to you personally. It's from the woman you arrived with here last night, seemed kind of important." The man hands you the paper note and disappears in a sluggish walk. You can see a corridor outside and several, numbered doors. A staircase leads downstairs. There's an elevator. A fly is buzzing around. - Philipp Lenssen
eat fly - John Mueller
You walk into the corridor, but you have a hard time catching the fly with your mere hands. Maybe your reflexes aren't up to their usual speed? "Clank." Slightly unnerved, you realize the door to your room has fallen shut behind you. The fly keeps buzzing about. - Philipp Lenssen
read the note from the woman (which is still in your hand) - Tony Ruscoe
You unfold the little white paper note. "Don't exit through the main entrance, they're waiting for you... use the window! Meet me at Crown Pub. -Kate" Who's Kate? A blurred memory of a black dress, long brown hair... a feeling of trust. - Philipp Lenssen
eat note - John Mueller
Better be safe... you gulp down the note. Yuck. - Philipp Lenssen
realise you're locked out and can't use your window. head to the roof... - Tony Ruscoe
[Short delay -- I'm away for ~3 hours. :)] - Philipp Lenssen
take a nap! - Susan Beebe
Try to get warm, look around the room trying to remember where you are and when that fails, look outside and eventually go outside - RAPatton
read book - Aram Zucker-Scharff
Say "xyzzy" - Glen Campbell
pinch yourself to wake up! - vijay
You pinch yourself... as far as you can tell, this is not a dream. You head towards the staircase to go up to the roof, but the stairs only lead downways. At the other end of the corridor you can see a closed window, and what looks like a fire escape outside. There's a small metal toolbox below the window. From behind one of the doors, you can hear a woman sobbing. You still have a taste of paper in your mouth. - Philipp Lenssen
Look out the back window. - John Lam
Ignore the sobbing woman and use the toolbox to open the window and leave. Head to Crown Pub. - Jess Lee
examine the books - Kamilah Gill
Leave? No...tweet: HELP! I'm having a blackout...location unknown, might have been drugged. - Sarah Perez
exa boo - ♫ Rahsheen™
Pull up your iPhone and check your location on Maps. Check your Twitter/FF and pictures history from last night. Search FF for Crown Pub. - simonpure
Im still trying to figure out why I would have looked out the window when there were books to read. - Cyndy
You look for some books, but there are none around here. You try to find your cell phone to send an SMS or tweet to friends or call for help... however, all you can find in your pocket is a silver key, a couple of dollar bills, and a small paper with the number "2302100015" scribbled on it. You're now walking towards the window, and use a wrench to push open the rusty window pane. You put the wrench in your pocket. The fire escape on the outside doesn't seem very stable. Do you want to use it to go down? - Philipp Lenssen
Check to see what floor I'm on and what the distance to the ground is. - Dan Hsiao
The heck with it, just climb out and count the seconds until you hit the ground. - John Mueller
It looks like you're on the third floor. You might survive a fall from that height, but you're not too sure. There's some trashcans in the alley below, though they don't look like a comfortable landing zone. You suddenly hear a "Bing" coming from the elevator. Seconds later, another "Bing": - Philipp Lenssen
I jump to escape whoever is coming... - Luka
You're jumping out the window and onto the fire escape, heading downways in high speed zig zag. Your heart's bumping fast as the fire escape continues to tremble, but you make it down. The alley is lit by a street light coming from the right. There's some trash cans here. A cat is going through the trash and looks at you with a puzzled "meow." To the left side, a wall rises up at about 2 meters, leading into darkness. From above you can hear the hurried steps of a person. What do you do? - Philipp Lenssen
Check trash cans. - John Mueller
Hide behind the trash cans and monitor who is the person. - kartik vaithyanathan
You're hiding behind the trash cans, waiting for a bit. Inside the trash you find a brochure titled "This Town's Top Spots." You put it in your pocket. From above, the fire escape metal rattles as a man with gray hair, wearing a gray trench coat moves downwards. He's now close-by, checking the alley; one of his hands is in his trench coat's pockets. You hold your breath, but the cat is giving you another puzzled look and is about to meow at you again... - Philipp Lenssen

Well that's what happened to me on Friday night. It was someone who I've never met who had subscribed to my Flickr feed. Thankfully he wasn't a psycho and actually seemed like a decent guy. - Tony Ruscoe
