―Rosie
## Notable moments

* The first rule of Board Game Club is "an unchained melody".
* Will our *spectral investigators ghostbust this case wide open* or will they find themselves *snowed six feet under paperwork*?
* Always a delight to see a new face - so welcome to Lorna!
* In the previous co-op mystery-solving game on the channel, Let's Play MYSTERIUM, we had the Morons Unite lose tremendously at the final hurdle. This is going to be a brilliant episode with 2/4 Morons returning and one more dead.
* Dom and Rosie are butting heads over the cause of death already. We are not 10 minutes in.
* Dom: "He was nutsed! He was nutsed by a stiffy!"
* Rosie: "Dom's the real detective, we're just on work experience." Lorna: "I'm just a passing sexy lady."
* Lorna is just having a wonderful time. She's here for the physical touch and nothing more. "Just shut up and touch me." Sullivan: "The audience don't matter. This isn't for them." Lorna: "Turn the cameras off. Get me a mirror."
* Laurie's ghost scream is genuinely terrifying. His then blank face afterwards is also a joy. Headphones users, take care at around 17:15!
* Sullivan: "Now, is it 'sting' as in the stinger or the musician. Or the wrestler. There are so many options!" Laurie: "You can make one sound: Roxanne."
* They've got it - she's in the oven with a bunch of bees! Sullivan and Lorna are a delightful pair.
* Classic Melissa, dipping herself in honey.
* Rosie: "Can Laurie distinguish, in art, the difference between a bee, a wasp and a hornet?" Their 'subtle' cues to Laurie on how to draw them is a skit in itself.
* 'Rosie's Mum and the Bee', a childhood fable.
* Lorna to Laurie and Dom: "How old are you both?" Dom: "I can't answer yes or no questions."
* Canonically, Winnie the Pooh wears a bikini top. Laurie: "Winnie the Pooh has... big old tits."
* There are many important questions in life, such as 'Who why where how weapon come bee?'. Rosie: "You tell me what you think my question is."
* Lorna: "I think the 'Why' might be 'She deserved it'."
* On their first guess, when they are so confident, they get 2 out of 5 right. Oh dear. Sullivan: "Is Laurie shit or are we shit?"
* Dom: "I mean the thing is, even if we get it right, it's not going to bring her back from the dead, is it? And it doesn't sound like anyone's to blame, so actually this is a complete waste of police time."
* Rosie: "That's got to be a house - it's got a point!" Dom: "Lots of things have a point, Rosie. It's just rarely you."
* Lorna is the victim's hot sister, Sullivan is a wolf cosplaying as a man.
* Sullivan's mum is famous in TSA.
* Laurie's side-eyes to the camera really do convey a very raw emotion.
* Everyone's swapping places. Rosie's swapping with Teri, who can apparently solve the game in 25 minutes, putting this group's over-an-hour attempt to shame.
* Laurie: "This is not part of it, this is me having a breakdown."
* The last few minutes are tense, with the cast really cracking down on the mystery. Dom is invested, making sure to ask every possible question before they guess.
* They don't get it! But they get 4 out of 5, better than before. They essentially got it, but did not word the where correctly. Dom: "Before I played this game, I thought this was 'Mysterium But Impossible'. Now, I realise it's Mysterium But Possible, But Made Impossible By The Idiots You Play With."
