THE SHOWRUNNER
Good morning, contestants. Today's room is a drawbridge, and its operator, Moll Hackwater of Troll Local 9, has a crank, a contract, and strong opinions about who gets to cross. You are neither royalty nor a funeral, so please stand behind the line and wait to be insulted.
HOW THE DAY WENT
| Escaped | 42 % |
|---|---|
| Most-tried move | Persuasion. Moll has now been proposed to more often than the bridge has lowered. |
| Top style | a departed contestant, style 85: “Troll Local 9 did not approve this crossing, but the far gate has no union rules, so you walked right through.” |
THE ROOM REMEMBERS
- Moll counts mourners both ways. Dead men don't wear crowns or carry rope.
- Moll won't toll her own bell, petal. Nor file Form 7. Nor marry you.
Past rooms are closed to play for now. Play today's room.
