The Party Line
YOU are invited to
A STRANGE AND INEXPLICABLE PARTY!
- Find the treasures - Solve the mystery - Lift the curse -
Sinister Mansion, 7pm—eternity
You're not sure whose party this is or why you're invited, but the invitation came, and you weren't doing anything else.
An old-school, minimalist puzzlebox text adventure, designed to feel like a type-in text adventure without the typing - commands are given via context-sensitive buttons.
The Party Line was originally made for the AdventureX Jam 2020. In 2021 it was rewritten in Gruescript, a tool I've made for making this kind of point-and-click text adventure game. The source code is available from the "Examples" menu in the Gruescript editor.

Could you provide a walkthru or hintguide for those of us who are stuck please?
I provided an "Invisiclues" hint guide here: https://intfiction.org/t/the-party-line-invisiclues-hints/52886
Many thanks for this - I managed to crack all the other puzzles but the popcorn machine had me thorough, thoroughly stuck!
Congratulations on a well designed game!
Awesome surreal and great puzzles!
