The House in the Bayou(sign-up)

[Flannery]

Deep in the Mississippi Bayou exist a mansion, called the Wentworth Estate. Built on a very large island, there is only one way off the island, a barge. A rather beautiful home with a rich history. Built in the late 1700's by Alfred Wentworth the first, it was a cotton plantation, and the largest in the territory at the time. During the Civil War it was a field hospital for the sick and wounded, and the house was owned by his grandson, Alfred Wentworth the third. In the turn of the century Alfred Wentworth's son, Alfred Wentworth the Forth, turned the dreary mansion into a hotel. Very successful until world war two. Alfred Wentworth the fifth turned the hotel into a military base. The island was dug out to put in a giant underground research facility. During the cold the finest place for genetic research came from the island. Throughout the 20th century research was carried out despite the facility being closed down in 1989 by Alfred Wentworth the 8th. What goes on below the floorboard of the mansion is any body's guess. Stories of disappearances surfaced, stories of people coming back different than when they left, and the rumors of strange monsters roaming the island and swamp.

The Mansion was reopened by a producing agency to make a reality show. There are hundreds of secret passages and puzzles in this 200 room mansion for oodles of fun. Camera placed in almost every room, and plenty of costumed actors to scare the newest guests. And you are the guest. Will you survive The House in the Bayou?

This plays out as a survival video game. I'll update and add items for characters to collect and put together depending on where they go. Your starting items are a flashlight, a key to your room, a bronze access card for you to get into some passageways, five glow sticks that will illuminate an entire room or hallway, a map of the estate, and a backpack to hold new found items. Use them wisely, and to your own advantage.
