Quests from The Panic Room: House of Secrets

High-level meeting

Matt: Feather, why are you staring at me like a caveman at a coffee machine? Today is April fools' day — a professional holiday of many people living in this house. And it is my honorable duty to deliver presents for everyone. Although this particular package was not for you, that’s why I tried to stop you.

Task: Go through the basement in "words" mode.

You look around for something weighty. Matt managed to convince everyone that he’ll continue his manipulations from above right till the end. So this one on one confrontation took you by surprise .

Matt brings his hand behind his back and pulls out a gun.

Matt: Looking for this? Meet Mr. Colt Python with an eight inch barrel — this boy can pierce a tank. That’s what the seller told me, but they all lie. Listen, as far as I can see, our problem can’t be settled with a mere conversation. What do you want from me?

Matt: Do you want me to… I don’t know… Shoot myself?

Matt puts the muzzle against his temple and presses the trigger smoothly. Almost all the way till the end. Almost.

Matt: Stop. Then what’s the interest?

Matt starts to flip huge revolver from one palm to the other carelessly, whistling.

Matt: I have an idea!

Matt goes to the tools board, puts his weapon on the barrel. Then he watches the wall intently, rubbing his chin.

Matt: What a large variety. Everything is so delicious. Eenie, meenie, minie, mo. Yep, this will do just fine.

Matt takes a huge knife off the board, examines it and puts next to the revolver.

You completed the task and received some points of freedom and some tokens

Matt: I can see it in your eyes that you want to get rid of me. Question is, are you ready to drop the other shoe and dirty your hands with my blood on such a holiday? Don’t be shy, you won’t be punished for it. You have a Trickster’s word. Would you prefer to neutralize me loudly or quietly? Revolver or a blade?
