3. The Closet
You were looking through your dad’s closet when you found his old video game system, so you decide to try it out. There is a big red button that says start, but it doesn’t start when you push it! You get so mad that you smack the controller as hard as you can on your dresser and to your surprise the world around you starts spinning. It comes to a stop and you’re in the middle of the video game’s main menu. The three games to choose from are…
Sherlock Holmes
A Million Mazes
Super Mario Bros

4. Sherlock Holmes Enter the right door Enter the left door
You dash to the picture of Sherlock Holmes. You start to wonder if you stepped on the right game, what if you’re not in Sherlock Holmes. Your hands are shaking as if you were standing on an earthquake. Your face is wearing a worried grin. You look down and see you have goose bumps on your arms. All of the sudden, you’re in the world of mystery: Sherlock Holmes. You look around and see an old mansion filled with pictures whose eyes seem to follow you. You’re very scared and your heart is beating at 100 mph. You look around franticly trying to find Sherlock Holmes but he is nowhere to be found. You step on something and look down only to find that you are Sherlock Holmes. You decide to continue down the hall where there are two doors. On the right you hear a scream and on the left you hear the creaking of old wooden stairs as if someone was walking on them.

Enter the left door

5. A Million Mazes
You decide to go through a door that says A Million Mazes thinking it would be simple. The door opens so you walk through. The door shuts suddenly and disappears once you’re completely in A Million Mazes. The first level is The Cornfield. There are two ways to go: left to the castle or right towards a noise.
Go to the noise
Go to the castle

6. Super Mario Brothers Go for a ride Talk to the man
You decided to go to Super Mario Brothers. You suddenly feel shorter than before. You look down, and are startled to see that you are dressed as Mario. Everything turns quiet until… “Mario, Mario! Ahhhh!” A beautiful young woman with blonde hair, eyes as blue as the ocean with eye lashes that flow with every blink, and a Cinderella pink dress with white gloves. You have no idea what to say, or what to do, and you have no idea of who she is. An odd creature stares you in the eye and gives out a loud, fierce laugh. She pleads for help. A man in a strange green hat similar to yours walks up to you and says “Lets-a-go.” A weird frog like thing stares at you. You have two choices. You can go for a ride on it or you can talk to the man in the green hat.

7. See Your True Love

8. Right Door Run back through the door Help the woman
You enter the right door and are surprised to see a woman lying on the floor holding out her hand as if someone had took something from her. You are worried and ask her what happened. She tells you that a man in all black kidnapped her teenage daughter. You feel bad for the woman, but don’t know whether you should help the woman or run back through the door to your two choices between the left door and the right door. You are very scared because this is a life or death situation. The hair on your skin is standing straight up. You might not ever see your family again. You start to have a sick feeling in your stomach, you are worried you won’t be able to make a decision, but you finally do.
Run back through the door
Help the woman

9. Left Door
You decide to go to the left door. You slowly turn the door handle, crossing your fingers hoping nothing was down there. It’s pitch black, you can barely see your hand in front of your face. You hear footsteps coming from the basement. There is so much dust that you can smell it and taste the other rusty old wood on the walls. You are so scared, you’re happy. You feel a cool breeze, you wish you were wearing your sweater. You start to go farther down the stairs. You peek around the corner and see a little girl crying tied to a chair. You also see a weird looking man sharpening his knife. A little dim light is right next to him, it’s so sharp you can already feel it cutting you. You now feel scared and sad.

Go back up the stairs

10. The Noise
You picked to go right towards a noise. When you get to the noise you see that it’s a kitty cat that is so cute and desperate, that you decide to pick it up. It starts to purr. You decide to keep it as a pet. You keep walking until you come across two tunnels. Do you go through the red tunnel or the blue tunnel?
Orange Tunnel
Blue Tunnel

11. The Castle
You take the path to the castle. It takes you a long time to get there. Outside you see nights laying down, you walk closer. The knights happen to be dead, you shiver. You slowly open the door. You take the stairs to the top of the castle. You get to a hallway, you hear stranger noises. You keep walking. Your pace gets slower and slower until you come to a stop at a pair of doors, you can go through the window so you make your choice. One of the doors has your true love inside, the other has the king of the castle.
See your true love
See the king

12. Go For a Ride
You chose to go for a ride. After hopping onto the frog like creature you learn that it’s name is Yoshi. You tell Yoshi to go to the castle, but instead of going to the castle he just stops right where the road splits. The left road is to the castle, and the right road is to a tube that is sticking up through the ground. You don’t know what is beneath the tube, but it might be something that will help you save the princess.
Go left to the castle
Go right to the tube

13. Talk to the Man
“I am Luigi, your brother, and you (if you haven’t noticed) are Mario. Together we shall conquer Bowser who has taken Princess Peach. Princess Peach is the most beautiful lady in all of Mushroom Town, where we are right now. Too save her we must travel to the castle. We can save her but first we should probably get some powers from the mushroom houses. We don’t have to though if we want to save some time, but we probably should.” You want to rescue Princess Peach as soon as possible, but if you don’t get powers and you die during the game it would be all up to Luigi to save Princess Peach.

You see the castle ahead. You hear the sound of the girl with the blonde hair shriek. You can taste the salty sweat that is dripping into your mouth, and you feel the smoothness of Yoshi’s skin. You are feeling nervous because you don’t know what lies ahead. You suddenly remember that you’re Mario, the guy that controls the game, the guy that always wins the game. You get to the castle where you have two choices. The first choice is you can go through the door. The second choice is you can climb a ladder that you think leads to the princess’s room

18. Help the Woman Go back to the real world
You decide to help the woman so you continue to walk down the hallway hoping you won’t find anything. Your hope suddenly fails when you see a man in all black sharpening his knife with a girl tied onto a chair next to him. You are afraid of what might happen to the girl. Right before the knife touches her skin, the man turns the knife and cuts the ropes loose. The girl runs over to you and gives you a big hug because she thinks you put some kind of spell on him to make him change his mind. She later tells you that he only wanted her because she has the power to zap you out of the game. You are confused and ask her why she didn’t zap herself out. She says because she is a character in this game and will never, ever go be zapped into the real world. You decide to drop the topic. She is so happy you “saved,” her, she offers to zap you back into the real world.

You decide to run back through the door, but as soon as your out of the room, you fall through an old trap door. You are now in an old room that looks like it used to be an office. On a shelf in front of you there’s a note that says… DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING. IF YOU DO, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHY I WROTE THIS. You are nervous and decide to take the note and throw it away. All of a sudden, you realize you touched something, and before you can run for the door to escape, a dragon pops out in front of you and kills you with a breath of his fire.
