## Synopsis

In this episode, the guests arrive at the house and their dinner party meets with a tragic end (the death of a guest). They discover the house is evil and they must gather special artifacts to free themselves from it.

## Plot

The episode starts off with Joey, talking about an estate that he has been dreaming of. Suddenly, that estate became his. To celebrate, he invites 10 of his friends to a dinner party at the estate, under the circumstance that he has inherited it from a distant relative that has passed away.

The guests arrive, and are soon greeted by Joey who walks down the staircase. As dinner is being served, the guests decide to split into groups and walk around the house, exploring and doing fun activites. Shane asks Joey is he is able to go upstairs, which Joey prohibits. However, Shane crosses Joey's word, and takes Eva with him upstairs. As they walk upstairs, they see Sarah the maid, dragging a dead body. As she walks back, she sees the two watching her, and says that they "aren't supposed to be here". Eva goes back downstairs, while Shane gets closer to the maid, telling her he knows what she is doing.

As the two come back to the dining room, the guests begin questioning why the two were gone for as long as they were. While the guests took a more joking approach to the situation, Joey was disappointed in Shane for going against his word. The dinner is finally served, and the guests begin eating. However, Shane receives a note from Arthur. With a confused look on his face, he is questioned what the note says. Not too long after, Shane stands up and begins coughing out blood, shocking the guests. He lays on the floor, while Matt takes the note and reads it outloud. "You have been poisoned", says the note.

Arthur gathers the guests' attention, and announces they must retrieve 3 antidotes to cancel out the poison in Shane's body. Eva, GloZell, and Joey go upstairs to find the first key, which they succeed in easily. They collect the first antidote after using the key, and Shane drinks it. The time is getting closer, but the guests aren't completing the challenges fast enough. Lele, Matt, Oli push a box out of a contraption using their hands, but they cannot see inside and must push the box around until they get a result. Andrea, Justine, Sierra, and Timothy must complete a riddle using mathematical equations.

The two groups slow down, not being able to progress, and within seconds, Shane is finally dead. Joey gets the idea to look trough his pocket, and finds a hand-written note. They learn that the estate is cursed by dark magic, and the Society Against Evil has placed their symbol around the house to track down the clues. Every hour, two of them must undergo a horrifying battle that results in the death of one guest in order to retrieve Artifacts, of which they need 4 to escape from the estate. The guests head outside and attempt to head home, but as they do so, the car that has taken them to the estate explodes infront of their eyes, trapping them in the estate.
