(set: $name to (prompt: "What is your name?", ""))
You hear your mom calling your name.
"$name, you have mail!"
[["Not now Mom, I'm busy!"|close]]
[["Coming!"|open]]
You race downstairs and rip open the envelope. Inside is a party invitation.
You don't want to go because you're:
[[too cool to attend|cool]]
[[won’t have anyone to talk to|flower]]
[[don’t want to be made fun of|awkward]]
Your mom comes to you and opens the envelope for you.
Inside the envelope is a party invitation.
You don't want to go because you're:
[[too cool to attend|cool]]
[[won’t have anyone to talk to|flower]]
[[don’t want to be made fun of|awkward]]Your mom urges you to go.
Mom: "$name it'll be fun! You can't be "too cool""
You decide to show up (text-style: "italic")[fashionably] [[late|late]].
Your mom urges you to go.
Mom: "$name it'll be fun! You need to get out more and make some friends!"
You decide to go even though you'll just stand in the [[corner|corner]].
Your mom urges you to go.
Mom: "$name it'll be fun! Everyone loves having you around!"
You decide to go even though everyone is just going to [[laugh|laugh]] at you the whole time.
Your mom drops you off at the party and you walk in.
Beverly runs up to you nearly tripping over her feet on the way.
"Hey! Hey, $name! I can't believe you're here!"
"Oh hi Beverly, where is everyone else?"
"I have no idea $name. They're probably still on the way. It's only 5 past...they're probably trying to be (text-style: "bold")[cool] and show up (text-style: "italic")[fashionably] late"
You're embarrassed you showed up early to a party. Thats so (text-style: "italic")[uncool].
In order to preserve your status you decide to leave before anyone else sees you.
Head for the [[hall|hall]]?
Head for the [[dining room|dining]]?
Your mom drops you off at the party and you walk in.
Beverly runs up to you and knocks over a vase. She then puts it back in place and keeps going.
"Hey! Hey, $name! It's nice to see you!"
"Oh hi, Beverly."
"Did you see Jo? He's soooooo (text-style: "bold")[HOT]. He has to be the coolest person in the 7th grade! I think I'm going to talk to him now. Please come with me?"
You tell her no and she walks off saying "Fine, I'll ask someone else. I just can't believe he's here."
Stay in the hall for another [[5 minutes|minutes]]?
Follow Beverly to see what [[happens|happen]]?
Your mom drops you off at the party and you walk in.
You trip over the stairs on your way in, but stick the landing. Thankfully no one saw you.
You see Jo across the room, but stop to talk to Vivian.
"Hey! Hey, Vivian! I can't believe you're here!"
"Oh, hi $name."
You excitedly ask her is she has seen Jo.
"Did you see Jo? He's soooooo (text-style: "bold")[HOT]. He has to be the coolest person in the 7th grade! I think I'm going to talk to him now. Please come with me?"
Vivian quietly says no and walks away.
What do you do?
Go after [[Jo|jo]]?
Go looking for other [[people|people]]?
In the hall you run into Vivian. She stops you to talk about Beverly.
You're very embarrassed and try to keep walking.
Vivian won't let you pass and tries to have you talk to Beverly.
You tell her that it's getting late and that you have homework.
She denies your bluff.
Head for the [[kitchen|kitchen]]?
Try the [[living room|living]]?
You slowly poke your head around the corner still trying not to be seen.
As you enter the room, you hear the front door open. Mrs. Johnson says hello to the group that just entered the house and guides them towards the dining room.
You have to escape quick.
Jump out of the [[window|window]]?
Go for the [[back door|backDoor]]?
Inside the kitchen you run into Mrs. Johnson.
She says hi, and ask you why you aren't hanging with the other kids.
Thinking quick you point out that she's burning the pizza rolls.
Your distraction worked, but you're still stuck at the party.
Back to the [[hall|hallTwo]]?
Try the [[dining room|dining]]?
You only see a sleeping dog as you enter the living room.
The TV is off, and the room seems eerily empty.
As soon as you sit down on the couch you hear Beverly capproaching from the other room.
Where else is the to run to?
Maybe Vivian left the hall. Try the [[hall|hallTwo]]?
Go for the [[dining room|dining]]?
In the hall Vivian is still in the corner. This time though she is distracted by everyone else at the party that just walked in.
This is your last chance before you're seen by the entire 7th grade.
Jump out of the [[window|window]]?
Open the door on your [[right|door]]?
You speedily run to the closest window.
It won't open though.
You grab the nearest thing you see, which happens to be a potted plant.
Without thinking you throw it against the window.
It shatters and you jump out.
Counting minimal cuts you run to the end of the street and call your mom.
[[continue|escape]]
You open the door and in front of you is a stair case.
You go down the stairs and enter the basement.
You head for the back door hoping it offers you an escape, but as you open the door, you hear music.
You should have read the invitation more closely.
There is no way to escape now! This is where the party is happening.

As you open the back door, you hear music.
You should have read the invitation more closely.
There is no way to escape now!
Certainly this is where everyone is headed after they get food.

Your mom answers your call and races over to pick you up.
She notices the cuts and asks what happened, but you just lie and say that you had too much fun.
[[Next|next]]Congratulations $name!
You escaped the party!
[[Play Again?|Hello!]]
You step out of the house and everyone there spots you.
You are embarrassed, but when you see that everyone there is having a good time you go join.
You maintained your cool factor this time...[[play again?|Hello!]]
You stay in the hall for another 5 minutes.
In this time no one else enters the house, and you decide it's time to go. You've had enough, and have homework to do.
As you leave your spot in the corner, Jo walks up.
You ask him if he has seen Beverly, and he says he hasn't.
He asks you where you're going, and tells you you have to stay.
You reply with "It's getting late," but he doesn't buy it.
Go to the [[Kitchen|kitchen2]]?
Try the [[living room|living2]]?
As you follow Beverly around, you begin to come up with ideas to leave the party.
You stop her after she's reentered the hall during her search for Jo, and say "Beverly, it is getting late, I have to go."
Beverly doesn't like you excuse, but leaves you to run to the bathroom. "I'll be right back $name, don't leave yet!"
You decide to come up with an alternate route for escape.

[[Play Again?|Hello!]]
You search in what seems to be every room in the house, and can't find Jo anywhere. You start to get very discouraged.
You end up back in the hallway and see Vivian still there.
You feel so sad that when she asks if you found Jo, you just tell her that it's late and time for you to go.
She won't let you give up, and points you towards the kitchen, or maybe the living room. You couldn't really tell through the tears that started to gather under your eyes.
At this point you've given up and just want to leave before anyone else sees you.
Head for the [[Kitchen|kitchen3]]?
