The Brief

Dominic and Clarissa were classmates taken on a tour of Wonka Willie’s Authentic Interactive Extravaganza (AIE). Dominic was brought by Mrs. Kronk, our homeroom teacher, and Clarissa came with 4 of her cousins. Two, Timmy and George, would be featured later. The group began in a room with a ball pit. Each child was given a half cup of lemonade and a jellybean with distinct flavors and a brief one- or two-word description. Timmy lost many teeth in the ball pit.

Dominic and Clarissa explored a side door where they discovered a dozen or so Willie’s. Dominic used a super magnet to take all their buttons away from their outfits which made them drop their drawers. Willie led us down a long hallway with doors on each side. We chose to go straight ahead to a salt crystal room covered in Cheeto dust. An erratic man who claimed to be the Salt Miser came forth from the Cheeto dust and ranted to us about saving the planet. We promptly killed him though I can’t remember why.

After murdering him, George felt bad, and a Chocolate Drake appeared to give him a golden ticket. We went up a staircase and discovered an angry Oompa Loompa streaming about the terrible working conditions. Dominic, ever wrathful, wanted to murder him but was in turn murdered by the angry Oompa Loompa. He also killed Timmy and said we were even. Very an eye for an eye. We murdered him too and called his mom about it. Clarissa stole the Oompa Loompa’s phone and took over his stream. Clarissa made a poll on her stream to see which jellybean George should eat. He ate the Tea Party one which revealed a silver masked man in the ceiling. We used Dominic’s super magnet to follow him. Clarissa used her stream to get him cancelled, which shrunk him down to rat size, and the children murdered him. The Chocolate Drake returned revealing the real Wonka Willie who gave Clarissa and George the business before dying himself.

The Takeaways

Pros:

• Vagueness of the jellybeans and their purpose
• Tour guide makes it easy to keep things moving
• Didn't feel like a dungeon crawl (although I do love dungeon crawling)

Cons:

• Wanted to discover factions sooner
