The Wrong Holiday
Who let a ghoul play Father Christmas in October? Nobody did. He just bought the beard.
OBJECTIVE
Get through the Christmas door in the old tree.
The keyhole is an odd shape, and Gloam guards the door with his list. Get on the right side of either, ideally while he's busy.

THE SHOWRUNNER
Good morning, contestants. Yesterday's room was Up the Flagpole, and 42% of you escaped, which the Mayor's bloomers are still recovering from. Today it is October 31st, and Acting Father Christmas Mortimer Gloam is running a very early, very sticky holiday, so try not to open anything marked "do not open until Christmas."
HOW THE DAY WENT
| Escaped | 61 % |
|---|---|
| Most-tried move | Environment. The Showrunner has not weighed in yet. |
| Top style | a departed contestant, style 95: “Out the door and into the snow. The Flask of Real Snow was, unfortunately, real snow, and therefore temporary.” |
THE ROOM REMEMBERS
- Mortimer has pulled the wrapping bench to his elbow. He checks all wrapping, twice.
- Mortimer has wound his list round his ears like a scarf. Speeches now arrive muffled.
- Mortimer now sits on the present sack like a beanbag. It is not pleased about it.
- Mortimer has hung the pumpkin lamp over the Christmas door. Sneakers now get spotlit.
