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.

As an aside (excellent game btw OP) does anyone remember a game for the Amstrad 64? It started "you are in an airlock". You could walk east west etc and at somepoint you joined a battery and a spanner, or was it a screwdriver? I wish I could remember its name. Must have been '86 when I played it...

Grin Ooo err.

SneakyGremlins · 19/06/2018 23:08

Oh it'd take me YEARS to get that!

Nothing to add, but I used to love these games so much on the ZX Spectrum - The Hobbit, Urban Upstart, Mad Martha, Inca Curse. I downloaded a pc version of The Hobbit a few years back if anyone is interested, such a trip down memory lane!

PlateOfBiscuits · 19/06/2018 23:09

Hey OP I also said that!

Aside: I don’t know if I would set fire to the building I was trapped in.

PlateOfBiscuits · 19/06/2018 23:09

But great game OP, thanks!

OnlyBaBaBiss · 19/06/2018 23:10

Oh ... yeah that’s what I was just about to say OP! Grin

Hold on, op, I suggested feeling all over the carpet in the dark room!

I like escape rooms, and I enjoyed this, but maybe this isn’t the best format? Lots of messages at once. Anyway, thank you.

(2would a small bottle of water be enough to douse yourself in a door fire, or would you still get burned?)

Hateloggingin · 19/06/2018 23:11

Oh my god this has brought back memories of playing The Hobbit ‘time passes’!!!!! I’d forgotten all about that !

Ha ha thanks for telling us the way out, it would have annoyed me for ages if I hadn't known 😁

KreigersClones · 19/06/2018 23:24

I liked it. Thanks OP

blackteasplease · 19/06/2018 23:30

I was going to say burn the house down but I see Im too late!

This gave me the creeps though!

Tangled59 · 19/06/2018 23:36

Awesome! Do another one!

ScreamingValenta · 20/06/2018 07:07

Glad everyone escaped in the end Grin.
