Dia huit! (Irish for Hello)-
and welcome to the mystery boxes 2024 Saint Patricks Day Edition.

The stage is set- 15 boxes up for grabs; and 15 contestants waiting back stage.

One or our lucky contestants will earn "pot of gold" at the end of the rainbow- but- be careful because to win this, you will have to turn into a leprechaun- along this journey you may find yourself getting nice and messy.

If you would like to play- Select one box #1-15 that has not yet been previously chosen.

During our game, a few lucky contestants will earn leprechaun status- and the leprechauns will be given the opportunity to "follow the rainbow" to the pot of Gold.
In order to follow the rainbow, you can fill out the following survey:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/67XJSZQ

feel free to follow the rainbow (take the survey) now (even if you are not a leprechaun)- but remember, if you are a leprechaun and another leprechaun beats you to the gold- whichever color you are on, at that time, will involve you getting messy with something of that color (more will be explained later in the game).

a few things about the survey
1. it is not case sensitive
2. have your umd user name handy
3. if you spell something incorrectly, if will be considered correct, but you will take the mess for the incorrect spelling
4. it is timed, it will be in your advantage to get through it as fast as possible but with no errors.
5. no cheating
6. If you are not fluent in English, or prefer to take the survey in a different language, send me a private message and I can change it for you to that language.

The stage is set.

On the left half of the stage is a wide stairwell- 3 lanes wide- with 6 levels. Red at the top, orange, Yellow, Green, blue, and finally purple on the bottom. Each lane is enclosed by large plexiglass windows- that allow the audience to see each level of the rainbow.

At the top of this stairwell is a giant Gold Pot.- our host explains that the Gold at the end of the rainbow is today's prize.

On the right half of the stage are various doors, numbered 1 through 15.

Our 1st contestant bright-shirt-guy enters the stage in hopes of winning the gold. He opens door #11, and as he opens it up, a bucket of Green pudding pours out over his head.

Our 2nd contestant, MessMike, enters the stage; and proceeds to box #12. He opens it up, and inside finds a large Mint Ice cream Sunday. Our host takes the Sunday out of the box, and tosses it in MessMike's pants.

Our 3rd contestant novagunger, opens door #3. As he opens it, an irish melody plays from the speakers, and a door in the floor, in front stage opens up. Inside is a pool of green jello. Our host explains that novagunger needs to do a dive into the pool of green jello (improv as close as you can- jello rubbed all over body or head dunk would be good).

Our 4th contestant, dbl999 enters the stage and opens box 14. Open opening it, a vat of green slime covers dbl999, from overhead, head to toe.

Our 5th contestant, Gunger88, enters the stage and sees the 4 previous contestants all covered in mess- and figures he's got a pretty good shot at winning. He tells the host, he feels lucky with door #4 as a shamrock has 4 corners. Our host explains, that the box #s are completely random, but maybe door #4, and having 4 players already messy, will bring some Saint Patrick's day luck. Gunger88 proceeds to door #4, and upon opening it, green confetti shoots out, with a Note. "Congratulations, you have earned leprechaun status! You and 2 other contestants will have the chance to follow-the rainbow to the pot of gold" proceed to one of the rainbow lanes starting points at the bottom of the rainbow. But before you do so- you have a chance at winning an advantage. If you want you may spin the wheel (If you want to spin, let us know in the next 24 hours- if you do not let us know it is assumed you did not spin)

www.play-link.com/random?id=2R387399820

if you spin the wheel- you could win an advantage, but you could also find yourself in a humiliating leprechaun outfit.

Gunger88 ponders whether or not he should spin the wheel- either way, he is excited for the chance to follow the rainbow.



Our 6th contestant, midlandsgungeguy enters the stage- he sees gunger looking at the wheel and gets nervous because some of the spots on it loo rather intimidating. He nervously proceeds to door # 13- Upon opening it, a big green cake comes out and cakes him right in the face.

Our 7th contestant, Dms85 enters the stage, and proceeds to box #11. He steps over some green pudding that is on the ground, and reaches for door #11- and finds that it has already been opened. As punishment for opening an already chosen door, our host forcefully grabs dms85 by the back of the underwear with 1 hand, reaches down and grabs a handful of green pudding from the floor, and smears the pudding in dms85's face while giving him a wedgie. our host explains that he will give dms85 another chance.

Dms85 then proceeds to door #7; upon opening it, confetti shoots out, and DMS85 has a similar note to Gunger88, except this time, there is no option to spin the wheel. Dms85 rubs some green pudding off of his forehead, and proceeds to the bottom of the rainbow; excited to get a chance to win some gold.

Our 8th contestant, ArchieBoy enters the stage, and opens door #9. Upon doing so, a vat of green slime covers him from above.

7 Doors left; 1 more vacant lane on the rainbow.- who's brave enough to open the next door?

I'll take number 10

I'll have box 2 please

I will take box 6.

Gunger_88 has made up his mind and wants to spin the wheel. So he approaches the large wheel on the far right of the stage. It is similar to the Wheel on the Price is Right, except its got some text on it. -----Gunger_88 spins the wheel- and it goes around once, twice,gunger is sent back to the bottom of the rainbow anxiously waiting to see where it stops.

Meanwhile, our 9th contestant, MissCP93 enters the stage opens door # #10. Inside is a large green cake, and our host explains that she may use it to cake anyone, of her choice, in the face. MissCCP93, let us know who's getting the cake.

Gunger's wheel is still spinning..

Our 10th contestant, Wam 262 enters the stage and choses door #2. Upon opening it, 2 people dressed up as leprochons come out of the door,. They pick wam262 up, and carry him to the "Wedgie Wall" where they pull his underwear out from the back, hook him on the wall. Once there, they each throw 3 cream pies at him, aiming for his face- once hits the top of his head, one hits his crotch, one hits his right leg, one hits his left leg, and the last 2 hit directly in the face. Our leprachauns leave him dangling as our next contestant enters the stage.

Our 11th contestant, Steamymess, enters the stage--he gets a bit nervious seeing wam262 hanging, in a wedgie on the wall Steamymess opens door #6. As he opens it, a cabbage slurry (cabbage blended with water) is dumped overhead, and covers him head to toe.

Meanwhile, Gunger_88's wheel is still spinning

4 doors left (1,5,8, and 15). Considering there is only 1 vacant spot on the rainbow, it appears as there is still a 25% chance at getting a spot on the lucky rainbow. Who is brave enough to open the next box?

8 please

Door 1 please!

As steamyMess was walking towards the other messy contestants, missCP93, took her green cake out. steamyMess was a bit nervous he was going to get it on top his cabbage slop, but instead, MissCP93 walked towards the bottom of the rainbow, and approached one of the only two clean contestants we have had so far. (Well mostly clean, except for the handful of pudding). MissCP93 didn't think the handful of pudding was a harsh enough punishment for dms85 for picking an already chosen box, so she through her cake in DMS85's face.

Our 12th contestant, marcel777 enters the stage. He sees lots of really messy contestants, and notices 1 empty spot on the rainbow where the only 2 clean contestants stand. He hopes to earn his way to that third spot. Marcel 777 choses box 8. Inside is a jar of green frosting. Our host instrucks marcel777 to remove his shirt. Our host then rubs the green frosting all over Marcel's face and chest.

Our 13th contestant, supersloppy walks on stage. As a newby to the mysteryboxes game (I think), he gets very nervous but also excited noticing guys wedgied on walls and guys covered in lots of green fun. He is so distracted by the messy contestants, that he does not notice the 2 clean guys on the rainbow- or the 1 free spot there. SuperSloppy approaches box 15, and upon opening it, confetti shoots out, and there is a note inside.---this note is the same one that Gunger 88 received before- a Chance to go to the rainbow.

SuperSloppy, you have 21 hours to let us know if you want to Spin the wheel for a chance at winning an advantage (If you do not let us know, we will assume that you did not spin the wheel)

Our 14 contestant, EV500 enters the stage. Only boxes 1 and 5 remain. He sees that there are 2 clean guys, and one messy guy on the rainbow, and thinks he may have missed the opportunity to get a winning prize. He nervously approaches door #1, and opens it. Our audience sees no confetti, so they expect him to get a mess. Instead, he pulls out a note- reads it, and heads back stage.

1 Box is left.

Who will be our last contestant?

I'll take #5!

darn looks like i was too slow

Our last contestant, pie-fficianado, enters the stage with one box remaining. they see almost everyone else covered in slime, pie, cake, and cabbage. which makes pie-fficianado a bit nervous. Pie-fficianado opens the last box, and finds a note and a leprechaun hat:
"You are a leprechaun who has been caught. Place on this hat, and Go to the "If you can catch me thread" and indicate you will take 1 pie for each person who catches you in 4 hours. Each catcher can tell you where to throw the pie.

Pie-fficianado, places the hat on, and goes to the thread.

- - - - -
Now lets recap where our game is. 11 of our contestants have gotten messy and appear to be out of the running to win the Gold.

Ev500 has gone backstage- and the audience does not yet know his fate.

Dms85, who was off to a rough start is covered in yogurt, but still lucky enough to be standing at the bottom of the rainbow. Next to him is gunger88 and supersloppy, who are both clean and who have both decided to spin the wheel for a chance at at advantage.


Here is how our finale is going to work:
The three leprechans (Dms85, gunger88, and supersloppy) will enter the rainbow. Each level of the rainbow has a word that the players need to unscramble. Once they unscramble the word correctly, the door will open to the next color of the rainbow. If they get it wrong, the door to the next level will lock and the leprechaun will be trapped in that level. If a contestant makes it all the way to the Gold, all the doors to the rainbow will lock, and the 2 other leprechons will be trapped in whichever color they are at at that time.

The leprechaun who gets to the gold first will then need to "escape" before being caught by the "Leprechaun catcher" (who will be revealed shortly).

The quicker each leprechaun can unscramble the words, the more likely they will be able to get to the Pot of Gold. however, any wrong answer will "Lock" them in their color.

In the event all 3 of our leprechauns are locked up, our host will automatically unlock whichever doors they are in for them to continue. Until 1 leprechaun gets to the Gold.

Whichever color the other 2 leprechauns are in at the end of the game will equal a mess that they will receive.

Gunger88 and supersloppy have spun a wheel for a potential advantage. If they do get the advantage, they will be given 1 key which they can use to unlock themselves from any trap that they are in (whether it be from a wrong answer or whether it be from the leprechaun catcher).- however, the key, if received, can only be used once.

The episode will continue, tomorrow, after we know if Gunger88 and supersloppy have earned advantages.

And we are back

Gunger88 spins the wheel, and nervously awaits the results 50% chance he will win an advantage. 50% chance he will lose some clothes. Lucky for him, he wins an advantage

The wheel then comes up for SuperSloppy; as it comes up, our host realizes that he programmed the wheel incorrectly giving SuperSloppy an 80% chance (instead of the 50%) chance of winning an advantage; and also a 80% chance of losing clothes (Instead of the 50%)- Our host realizes this was probably due to drinking all the Guiness while setting up for the game. Since this was the wheel presented, our host decides to continue with the game.----giving SuperSloppy a luckier advantage than expected. SuperSloppy spins the wheel- and he gets the best spin possible- An advantage and he gets to keep all his clothes.

So Gunger88, dms85, and Supersloppy take their positions at the bottom of the rainbow. Dms85 is happy to be there but worried since he doesn't have an advantage and embarrassed as he is the only 1 of the 3 covered in a mess.

Gunger88 and supersloppy are both given an extra 'key' which they are told they can use 1 time to unlock themselves if they get trapped. All 3 players are warned that EV500 is a leprechaun hunter and may catch them.

Our host explains that to get to the pot of gold, each contestant will need to Unscrable Letters at each color of the rainbow.---once they do so, the door will be opened to the next level.

First to the top will get the chance of winning the Gold.

Our game starts in 5, 4, 3, 2 1.

Go!

Each of our 3 contestants enters the purple level: "cerolv" Is the word to unscramble. Immediately, Gunger_88 gets it correct: "Clover" and he proceeds to the Blue Level.---then supersloppy. Dms85 is nervous- so he frantically types "Velcro"- Hmmmour host hadn't thought of that, but it is also correct- so the door opens for Dms85.

Now all 3 players are at the blue level.- "nerdlia" is the word to unscramble. Gunger88, realizing the other 2 players are catching up on him, and knowing he has the spare key, quickly types in "pie sandwhich"- an alarm sounds and a sign drops from above him "locked in!" He frantically grabs for his key, which he received as an advantage and uses it to go to the next level. When he puts the key in, he hears a voice which states, "stand on the X and face the blue dot". Gunger frantically stands on the x, and faces the blue dot, and a blueberry pie shoots out and hits him right in the face- the door opens, and gunger_88 proceeds to the green level.

Gunger88 looks over and sees tha dms has a sign that says "locked in!" at the blue level. However, dms85 has no key. Dms incorrectly typed in "dernlia"- our judges do not accept that.- dms85 appears to be trapped in at blue. Supersloppy is taking it super slow- and is still figuring out the blue level. Meanwhile, gunger 88 is at the green level and must unscramble "ahpeclnrue"---he has no idea what this is- he sees that supersloppy typed in "Ireland" at the blue level; and has also moved on to the green level. Gunger88, in a panic, considering he is losing his lead types in "Bucket of slime"- lol. Again, the alarm sounds, and the sign "locked in!" drops from the ceiling.

Supersloppy sees that both his opponents are "Locked in!" and knows he also has the key, so feels pretty good. He finally figures out that "ahpeclnrue" is Leprechaun and gets past the green level.

The next level, yellow, is Mchokasr. Wtf!, supersloppy thinks. He thinks about using his key, as this is pretty tricky but expects there are at least 2 more puzzles left, so he takes his time. Finally he realizes "shamrock". He continues to the Orange level. At the orangelevel, he must unscramble "arpictk"- Out of the corner of his eye, he sees EV500 enter the stage, carrying a net. Uh no!, superslopy thinks. Does he use his key to get to the next level before getting caught by the leprechaun catcher, or does he save his key. He choses to take his time, realizing if he gets caught by the leprechaun, he can probably use his key- but it takes him, what seems to be minutes to figure out how to unscramble "arpictk" (in truth, it was only about 20 seconds). Finally he realizes it is "Patrick". As soon as he realizes it, he sees the leprechaun catcher headed his way.. supersloppy is hoping that he will be LuCKY and that the last color of the rainbow will be an easy word. He types in "Patrick" and proceeds to the red level.

Will supersloppy be "lucky" and get a word he can solve; or will the leprechaun catcher catch him first?

SuperSloppy enters the red layer, and he sure is "lucky" as the word is only 5 letters.- "Cluyk"- he, at first thinks it is a chicken, but then realizes it is "lucky", types it in, and the door to the top level opens up.
SuperSloppy grabs the pot of gold, and slides back down to the main level of the stage, where our host congratulates him on winning the Pot of Gold!

Dms85 still being trapped in blue, and gunger88, sill being trapped in green are told to assume their positions in their levels. Supersloppy pushes a button, and as he pushes it, a blueberry pie is thrown in dms85's face; and green slime covers gunger88 from head to toe.

Our audience cheers, and SuperSlopy celebrates as he was "Lucky" to win the Pot of Gold!---and also not to be caught by the leprechaun catcher.
