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.

Take the table from the other room and use it to stand on to feel if there's a loft hatch in the ceiling of the new room.

Use your phone's torch

absolutely ScreamingValenta - Zork was one we played.

Gamesmaster · 19/06/2018 22:30

ScreamingValenta - no idea of the name but yes that's exactly what I was thinking of but had no idea of the game name!

This room appears to be empty.

PopGoesTheWeaz · 19/06/2018 22:33

elephantscanring · 19/06/2018 22:33

Well, what next?? Nothing round walls - what about under carpet?

Fettuccinecarbonara · 19/06/2018 22:33

I play a game like this on Alexa called ‘escape the room’ or something like that!

ScreamingValenta · 19/06/2018 22:33

There were loads of different games for the '64 - happy memories!

(If your next post says SYNTAX ERROR we will know - you are in fact a Commodore 64, OP Wink. )

clairethewitch70 · 19/06/2018 22:34

stand on table

Gamesmaster · 19/06/2018 22:34

You try moving the carpet but cant see what you are doing

Feel round to see if there is a fireplace.

summerbaby1 · 19/06/2018 22:35

Go back to the first room and look for a source of light

PopGoesTheWeaz · 19/06/2018 22:35

check table for drawer.

TheMeaningOfLifeIs42 · 19/06/2018 22:35

Check first room for matches or similar

Use the torch light on your phone to see what you're doing

elephantscanring · 19/06/2018 22:36

What can we see, op?

Albertschair · 19/06/2018 22:36

Check your pockets - matches or lighter or candles etc in there?

Gamesmaster · 19/06/2018 22:36

You check first room for a source of light but cant find anything

OP posts:
elephantscanring · 19/06/2018 22:36

Why are we on the table if we can’t reach the ceiling?

acornsandnuts · 19/06/2018 22:36

—if you were Lara Croft there would be a medi pack and torch in the corner—
