Mystery Mansion - Page 2

You just received a bit of bad news. Your eccentric and insanely wealthy aunt, Baroness Von Kinkmeister, has left you her entire fortune if you can make it out of her famous Mystery Mansion. How can you pass up such a lucrative proposition?

But what exactly is the Mystery Mansion? I’m so glad you asked. The mansion consists of 12 rooms, each with a clue hidden inside them. Once you enter the mansion, you will be locked inside. But don’t fret, the key is hidden somewhere within the mansion. Each of the 12 rooms contains a clue. Once you have discovered all 12 clues, you will group them into pairs to reveal a single answer per pair. All 6 answers will lead you to a final answer, one that encompasses all 6 answers. From this final answer, you will be able to locate the key to the front door. You must locate the key in order to unlock the front door and escape the Mystery Mansion.

The name of each room corresponds to an animal. There is only 1 clue to be found in each room, so there is no need to enter a room after someone else has already found the clue. The rooms are listed below with the name of the task to be completed:

Badger - Spanks Galore

Fox - Paying For Pleasure

Deer - Detour Ahead

Squirrel - Stoplight

Wolf - Cool to the Touch

Raven - Risky Business

Snake - Rope of Pain

Beaver - Backed Up

Rabbit - Work-It!

Bat - Sensory Underload

Owl - School Daze

Lynx - Leave it to Chance

The mansion is full of surprises though. Once you enter a room within the mansion, you will be trapped inside until you complete the task associated with the room. You will have 36 hours to post your report once you have entered a room. After you have successfully completed the task and posted a report, the door will unlock and you will be given the clue. You may search as many rooms as you like, but once you are locked into a room, you must complete the task and post a report to escape the room.

Keep in mind that this mansion is quite old and only the original 12 tasks exist. Therefore, you may find that once you enter a room you may not like the task you have to complete. Lucky for you the door is on a timer. If you say the phrase “I dare not take this challenge”, the timer will start and you will be let out of the room in 24 hours. You will remain trapped in that room, unable to explore any other room until the timer counts down and the door opens once more. Additionally, if you enter a room and your 36 hours runs out without any word from you on progress, you will be placed on a 24 hour ban.

Work together to explore the mansion, solve the puzzle, and locate the key. Only once you have escaped the Mystery Mansion will you be able to claim your fabulous inheritance.

The Inheritance

I will be giving a prize to the top person to gather clues, the person who finds the key (only if that person has contributed prior to finding the key, even if it was only wrong guesses or failed attempts at tasks), and to one extra person that made an impact throughout the puzzle.

How It Works

When you want to enter a room, please state the room name (animal). Your 36 hours will start once I will post the task you need to complete. Complete the task and post your report in the thread. Do your best to write a quality report (no one-liners please). After your report has been posted, I will post the clue you discovered in the thread. Remember, if you are unable to complete a task for any reason, you may initiate the timer to unlock the door by saying the phrase stated above in fuchsia.

After all 12 clues have been found, work to combine the clues into pairs. Each pair will lead you to 1 answer. All of the clue pairs will need to be combine in some manner to get the answer, but you will need to work out how to combine them.

Even if you are unable to enter any rooms, you may still participate in solving the puzzle.

This spreadsheet will list who is in each room currently as well as which clues have been found. I will update this regularly so that you will know which rooms are available for entry. Only 1 person is allowed in a room at a time.

Can you escape The Mystery Mansion and claim your wonderful inheritance?
