The Curator takes a look at the film cover. "Are you absolutely sure you want to go here?" He asked to Indominus with a straight face.

"If we're going to solve this mystery, then we're going to have to go into the spooky haunted hotel." Indominus replied back on everyone's behalf.

"He's right." BlackRose added in.

"Let's hope you have the belly for it, Scooby-Doo." The Curator now said back.

"I'll keep watch out for you guys. Take care." Venator said to them. "And be careful.

The circular platform they're standing on now starts to lower down into a lower section below all of Halliday's Journals. A moment later, they all appear outfit of a movie theatre building with the words up above the front door reading 'Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining"'. At once, the ominous music theme to the movie seems to play out from the theatre, then Indominus leads on with ScarletArt3mis. Drago, Lupin, BlackRose and B-626 following on behind him. They immediately make their way into the theatre, B-626 and Drago having to duck so they can fit through the doors. As they open the doors ahead of them, they go inside, now seeing that they are inside the very lobby of the Overlook Hotel, the secluded hotel in the Rocky Mountains.

'Okay. Here we go...' Indominus thought to himself.

As the group of avatars walk down the stairs into the lobby of the Overlook Hotel, Indominus takes notice of the typewriter and a stack of paper, the pages flying away. He leads the others over to the typewriter, with ScarletArt3mis, Drago, Lupin, BlackRose and B-626 following on after him as they take a look. They can see the writing of 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy', all written in the shape of the key of which they're looking for.

"Look. Ticking clock." Lupin surmised, seeing the flipping pages. He takes a scan of it, and he had confirmed that the flipping pages was indeed a type of timer. "Guess this is what we have to go against. We have to look for the key before we run out of time."

ScarletArt3mis takes a look and guesses with her hand. "Okay, so I'm estimating about five or seven minutes to find the key." She informed to everyone.

"Yeah, but there are so many keys in The Shining, though. Where do we even start?" Indominus now asked out to everyone else.

B-626 pulls BlackRose back as he looks down at the RWBY-themed avatar. "I've never seen The Shining before. Is it really scary?" He asked in a hushed tone.

Uh, you're asking someone who's ever seen a horror movie." BlackRose admitted back to the red Autobot.

"Okay, so we got the key from room 237, the keys to the Snowcat, or the keys they give Jack at the beginning of the movie." Indominus began to recount.
