Can you escape (game/test)

AIBU to try this 'game'? - I think it could be fun.

Locked upstairs in a house, you need to escape.

Rules, only one instruction per person until the correct action has been identified.

I've already 'written' the way to escape - if it works then I will write a fuller version to play a different evening.

For example: (player/you) Open Window:

(me) There are no windows.

a bit tenuous but ok yellow... you try the key in the door it works.

Barnet - far too quick for me but I did laugh at that!

Work the light fixture to get a hole in the ceiling

The real issue is why are you locked there?

Gamesmaster · 19/06/2018 22:24

You open the door (well done yellow) it reveals another small room. the room is dark.

It's OK, Calvin - Yellow's managed to get the door open Grin.

ScreamingValenta · 19/06/2018 22:25

Feel round in dark room for a light switch

So we’re in the hall now? Head for the stairs.

elephantscanring · 19/06/2018 22:27

Ah. Is there a candle in the room? Anything we can use for light?

182yellowsnails · 19/06/2018 22:27

Open the curtains

whereiscaroline · 19/06/2018 22:27

Find a match?

BlackeyedSusan · 19/06/2018 22:28

feel around for a light switch

acornsandnuts · 19/06/2018 22:28

Feel around the walls for shelves

EtcEtcEtc · 19/06/2018 22:28

Agree - open the curtains.

cool idea.

elephantscanring · 19/06/2018 22:28

Or feel around for a door to get to another room

ScreamingValenta · 19/06/2018 22:28

Not wishing to derail but is anyone reminded of 80s Dungeon games on the Commodore 64?

Gamesmaster · 19/06/2018 22:28

You try searching the room by touch, it appears to be empty

BlackeyedSusan · 19/06/2018 22:29

if the previous roomwas not completely dark the new roomn will not be completely dark either.

elephantscanring · 19/06/2018 22:29

No doors, windows, curtains? Roll up the carpet and feel under there?

PlateOfBiscuits · 19/06/2018 22:30

Look in your pockets to see what you have.

WowserBowser · 19/06/2018 22:30

Look for another door in new room
