Escape the Night: Season 3 (My Way + Self-Insert OC)

The Drawings

"Tell my story to let the fun begin." Manny read from a paper that came with the drawings. Richard looked over his shoulder, "Okay, so we need to put them in order, earliest to latest over..." he looked around the room and walked toward his destination, "Here." he stood next to the circle from the paper.

"They all have Ws." Ro pointed out the letters in the corners, "So this is from a Mr. W. Let's hope their last name doesn't start with an A." MatPat snickered at the obvious FNaF reference while Richard smirked. "What did you say his name was?" Joey asked Mortimer, "His name was Willie." he answered. Richard put a hand to his face, chuckling to himself at his accidental prediction. Everyone arranged the drawings in a way that made sense, Joey then said, "Give me the beginning one and a tack."

Joey: So we start tacking the drawings against the wall in the order that we think they took place.

Safiya: So we start off with being born, then we go into his parents fighting, him peeing himself, and then being bullied at school, going off to war, getting married, getting into fights with his wife, leaving his wife, making a deal with the devil, and then seemingly going mad?

Richard: The end. Alright, Timmy, sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite.

They tacked in the last drawing and a red box opened up. "It opened. I heard it." MatPat said before Manny fully opened the lid.

Rosanna: This box opens, and in it is a red button. And I'm thinking, "Push it."

Manny held the button and asked, "Should I press it?" Ro wanted him to press it while Richard said, "We probably need to press it to move on, so go ahead." Manny pushed the button and all the lights went out, everyone screamed and hugged anything that was near.

Rosanna: We're in the dark. Which I am afraid of.

"Everyone okay?" Joey asked, the group all responded that they were when purple lights came on. Richard was hugging Safiya and Mat and Ro hugged each other. Another box opened and Joey and Manny went to investigate. "A light." Joey stated as he pulled out a flashlight, "You guys, um, I don't think we've looked at the map yet." Safiya told the group, all of them followed her to the map. She pointed out the new building, "All right, so clearly what's new here is the funhouse. It says, 'The Funhouse is open for business. Bloody Business."

Joey: Bloody business, of course.

Richard looked at the light Joey grabbed from the box, "Wait, Joey, can I... Yes, I knew it! It's a blacklight." he shined the light on the wall revealing a line all around the room. Richard walked around until he found a message, "Travel symbol to symbol starting with the swirl.' and that follow has a zero inside." he read off the wall.

Safiya: So we have the word "follow" and the number zero.

MatPat: And from there, follow the arrows along until we reach a symbol. From there, we hop to the next symbol and follow that pathway.

"Five. Zero, four, five." Joey restated the numbers, "Let's not forget the words, 'follow grave instructions." Richard added. The group followed the arrow and found a smiley face. "Zero, four, five, three?" Ro asked. "And a new word, 'follow grave instructions literally."

MatPat: When we get down to the end of the line, we have a sequence of four numbers but don't know what to do with it. So we use what Richard mentioned, the words.

"Okay, where's a grave?" Manny asked, Joey looking around the room until he found a poster.  "Over here!" he called out, the group walked to where he was, "R.I.P. Okay, we need to rip it off. Rip it off!" Richard instructed. Joey ripped the poster off the wall to find a secret compartment with a puzzle wheel inside. The lights turned back on and Safiya started spinning the wheel.

Safiya: So I put in the combination and open it up. And inside is the next artifact.
