McAdventure
Brandon came up with this idea to play a text adventure game over instant
messenger. One person creates a story and the other person interacts with
the story via instant messages, just like those old text adventure
computer games like Zork, only the story controlled by a person instead of
the computer...
Jump to the bottom of the page to see the
maps I made for the game.
Kevin says:
Welcome to McAdventure!
Brandon says:
open eyes
Kevin says:
You can't. You're asleep.
Brandon says:
wake up
Kevin says:
You slap yourself until you wake up.
Brandon says:
open eyes
Kevin says:
Opened. You find yourself lying in the driver's seat of your Ford Tempo car. The remains of a fast food meal are scattered on your lap.
Brandon says:
look
Kevin says:
You notice that there are few places less fun to sleep in than your car.
It is very dirty and smelly.
Brandon says:
sit up
Kevin says:
You hit your head on the ceiling and curse under your breath.
Brandon says:
get out of Ford Tempo
Kevin says:
(opening door first) You get out of the car. You are now standing in the
parking lot of the McDonald's where you work as a table washer. There is
no one else in the parking lot. Strangely, the only available exit from
this area is the entrance to McDonald's to the north of you. There is
something embedded in the pavement of the parking lot but you are to far
away to tell what it is.
Brandon says:
walk to thing embedded
Kevin says:
You start walking toward the thing, but then you decide to run instead,
because the hot pavement is burning your bare feet. As you approach, you
see that the thing looks like some kind of door in the ground.
Brandon says:
open floor door
Kevin says:
You pull on the door, but the giant padlock prevents it from budging.
Brandon says:
walk north
Kevin says:
You try to enter McDonald's but a very unfriendly-looking Mayor McCheese
is blocking the door.
Brandon says:
ask Mayor McCheese about blocking the door
Kevin says:
Mayor McCheese says nothing, but angrily jabs his finger at a sign mounted
next to the door.
Brandon says:
read the sign next to the door
Kevin says:
Printed in large frilly pink letters are the words "No Shoes, No Shirt, No
Service."
Brandon says:
inventory
Kevin says:
You are carrying:
A vintage 1927 Chuck E Cheese token
Pocket lint
Kevin says:
(in your pockets)
Brandon says:
run to car
Kevin says:
you run to the car. The pavement is really getting hot.
Brandon says:
open car door
Kevin says:
Opened.
Brandon says:
get in car
Kevin says:
You get in the car, bumping your head on the doorway and yelling loudly.
A few seagulls scavenging nearby are startled and fly away in a huff.
Brandon says:
look in car
Kevin says:
Your car is full of old fast food packaging and crumbs. You can see
shoelaces sticking out from behind the back seat
Brandon says:
take fast food packaging
Brandon says:
look under back seat
Kevin says:
You reach for the fast food packaging, but when you touch it, a mouse runs
out and you decide to leave it alone.
Kevin says:
You see your shoes.
Brandon says:
take shoes
Kevin says:
taken
Brandon says:
put on shoes
Kevin says:
putted on.
Brandon says:
take key out of ignition
Kevin says:
there is no key. Your car doesn't actually run. It's just where you
live.
Brandon says:
get out of car
Kevin says:
You are no longer in the car.
Brandon says:
look at sky
Kevin says:
The sky is blue.
Brandon says:
run to McDonald's
Kevin says:
You run to McDonald's. Halfway there, you trip over your untied shoelaces
and the chuck E cheese token falls out of your pocket and goes rolling
across the parking lot.
Brandon says:
chase after token
Kevin says:
You run after the token. After about 20 minutes, it finally rolls to a
stop. Just as you approach it, one of the seagulls you scared away
earlier swoops down and grabs the token in its beak.
Brandon says:
grab seagull
Kevin says:
The seagull laughs and jumps back just out of your reach.
Brandon says:
take shoelace out of shoe
Kevin says:
done
Brandon says:
tie shoelace into noose
Kevin says:
you don't know how.
Brandon says:
whip seagull with shoelace
Kevin says:
the angry seagull drops the token and flies off. As it takes to the air,
it shouts, "I'm calling a lawyer. That's assault!"
Brandon says:
pick up token
Kevin says:
taken
Brandon says:
tie shoelaces
Kevin says:
you tie them.
Brandon says:
go to McDonald's
Kevin says:
You are standing in the lobby of McDonald's. There is a long line of
unhappy-looking customers at the counter, but the employees behind the
counter don' t seem to be serving any food.
Brandon says:
go to counter
Kevin says:
You approach the counter. You hear angry cries of "Cutter!" from the
customers.
Brandon says:
examine customers
Kevin says:
The customers look very hungry.
Brandon says:
stand in back of line
Kevin says:
You walk to the back of the line.
Brandon says:
wait
Kevin says:
Nothing happens.
Brandon says:
exit line
Kevin says:
exited.
Brandon says:
go to counter
Kevin says:
you approach the counter again. The customers still seem angry at you
cutting in line, but they're so hungry by now, that they don't even have
the energy to shout.
Brandon says:
assess own hunger level
Kevin says:
You don't seem to be hungry.
Brandon says:
shout at employees
Kevin says:
The employees cower behind the counter.
Brandon says:
jump over the counter
Kevin says:
You try, but the employees push you back
Brandon says:
look in restaurant
Kevin says:
the restaurant is sparkling clean, but no one seems to have any food.
Brandon says:
examine condiments counter
Kevin says:
the counter has every kind of condiment you could imagine.
Brandon says:
take ketchup packet
Kevin says:
taken
Brandon says:
take straw
Kevin says:
taken
Brandon says:
look at straw
Kevin says:
it is cylindrical and white with red and yellow stripes
Brandon says:
take half and half
Kevin says:
taken
Brandon says:
take hot sauce
Kevin says:
taken
Brandon says:
go to customers
Kevin says:
the lobby is full of customers so you are already at them.
Brandon says:
offer customers ketchup packet
Kevin says:
You offer the ketchup to a nearby customer. One of the employees notices
and leaps across the counter and smacks the ketchup packet out of your
outstretched hand. He then returns back behind the counter.
Brandon says:
take ketchup packet
Kevin says:
taken
Brandon says:
ask customer about hunger
Kevin says:
The customer says he is very hungry.
Brandon says:
ask employees why they aren't serving food
Kevin says:
The employees all respond in unison, "We apologize for the inconvenience,
but we have had to fire Ronald McDonald. We are not allowed to sell any
food without a mascot."
Brandon says:
offer straw as mascot
Kevin says:
The employee you offer the straw to says, "Don't be silly. We need a
mouse mascot to promote our new 'Extra Cheesy" marketing campaign!"
Brandon says:
show employee Chuck E. Cheese token
Kevin says:
The employee is nonplussed.
Brandon says:
explain about chuck e. cheese's
Kevin says:
The employee says, "Yes, I know about Chuck. We would love to have him
come be our mascot, but he's at chuck e cheese and the only way to get
there is through the locked tunnel in the parking lot!"
Brandon says:
ask for tunnel key
Kevin says:
"I don't have it. Maybe it's in the back somewhere.
Brandon says:
go in back
Kevin says:
You walk north into the kitchen. The cooks are all just standing around
doing nothing. There is no food anywhere.
Brandon says:
examine kitchen
Kevin says:
The kitchen is state-of-the-art stainless steel. To the north is a
doorway, and to the east is the freezer.
Brandon says:
open doorway
Kevin says:
you can't open a doorway.
Brandon says:
go north
Kevin says:
you are in the manager's office. There are desks and chairs and stuff
that belongs in an office. On the east wall is a giant metal door with a
big round handle on it. Leaning against the door is Grimace.
Brandon says:
push Grimace
Kevin says:
Grimace falls down and bounces right back up
Brandon says:
push grimace up
Kevin says:
grimace is already standing up
Brandon says:
offer Grimace half and half to move
Kevin says:
Grimace says "I'd rather have a hamburger"
Brandon says:
examine office supplies
Kevin says:
they are boring office supplies. Pencils and paper and such.
Brandon says:
take pencil
Kevin says:
taken
Brandon says:
exit office
Kevin says:
you go back into the kitchen
Brandon says:
open freezer door
Kevin says:
you open the freezer door. Frosty air wafts out
Brandon says:
walk into freezer
Kevin says:
You enter the freezer. There are shelves lining the walls. On the
shelves are boxes of frozen hamburger patties and buns. The Hamburglar is
in the corner shivering.
Brandon says:
take frozen burgers
Kevin says:
taken
Brandon says:
offer Hamburglar nice, warm, refreshing half & half
Kevin says:

Kevin says:
Done
Brandon says:

Kevin says:
You add ketchup to the burger.
Brandon says:
offer burger to Grimace
Kevin says:
Grimace takes the burger with a broad grin, but his grin turns to a
grimace when he tries to take a bite of the rock-hard raw burger.
Brandon says:
tell him he'll eat it and like it
Kevin says:
Grimace refuses.
Brandon says:
take burger back
Kevin says:
taken
Brandon says:
go to kitchen
Kevin says:
Kitchen.
Brandon says:
go to burgeroven
Kevin says:
You go to the burger oven, otherwise known as a microwave.
Brandon says:
microwave frozen burger
Kevin says:
You stick the burger in, slam the door shut, and push some random buttons.
A light comes on inside and there is a loud hum. After about 20 seconds,
the burger explodes, splattering all over the inside of the microwave. I
guess that's why you're a table washer and not a cook.
Brandon says:
take out burger remains
Kevin says:
you can't. They're cooked onto the insides of the microwave.
Brandon says:
I'm not only a table washer, I'm a microwave washer.
Kevin says:
You hear a muffled comment coming from the freezer.
Brandon says:
run to freezer
Kevin says:
You enter the freezer. The floor is icy, so you can't stop and you slam
into the back wall. The hamburglar snickers.
Brandon says:
listen to muffled comment
Kevin says:
The hamburglar says, You know, I know how to cook hamburgers, and since
I'm a criminal, I don't care that there's no mascot. But if I go out
there, they're going to make me go outside and wash the drive-thru windows
again. I hate doing that.
Brandon says:
take frozen burger
take frozen bun
Kevin says:

Brandon says:
beg hamburglar to cook burger
Kevin says:
"Only if you wash the windows for me first. Here is the washing stuff."
He hands you a rag and some window spray.
Brandon says:

Kevin says:
you already did.
Brandon says:
go to drive-thru windows
Kevin says:
You go back out through the lobby to the parking lot, and then northwest
to the side of the building where the drive-thru is located.
Brandon says:
spray window spray at window
Kevin says:
Sprayed. The drive-through cashier is startled by the sudden spray.
Brandon says:
rag window rag at window
Kevin says:

Brandon says:
look at reflection of self in window
Kevin says:
You are disgusted by the combination of your reflection and the cashier
standing on the other side of the window.

Brandon says:

Kevin says:
Grimace snatches the burger away from you and gulps it down in one bite.
He spins open the lock on the safe and pulls the door open. Then he walks
over to the nearest desk and takes a nap.
Brandon says:
look in safe
Kevin says:
You look in the safe. There appears to be something on the floor, but you
can't tell what it is from out here.
Brandon says:

Brandon says:
look at the thing on the floor
Kevin says:
You enter the safe and examine the object on the floor. It appears to be
a key.

each of the 4 walls. This room is very smelly. It is making you ill.

Kevin says:
You pass out. When you wake up, it is still smelly.
Brandon says:

Kevin says:

You are in another room just like the first. This one doesn't smell, but

Kevin says:
The straw is indignant at this prospect and runs away

You find yourself in the loby of Chuck E. Cheese's. There are screaming
and laughing kids running around everywhere. There is a counter with a
man in a funny hat standing behind it.
Brandon says:
go to counter
Brandon says:
with funny man
Brandon says:
standing behind it
Kevin says:
The man says, "Welcome to Chuck E. Cheese! I'm Tim. Would you like to buy
some tokens or did you bring some with you?"
Brandon says:
"I already have one...and some hot sauce"
Kevin says:
"I don't like hot sauce."

I would like to buy 70 tokens

Brandon says:
Tim man?
Kevin says:

Brandon says:
Kevin says:
Tim holds out his hand expectantly.
Brandon says:
fork over token
Kevin says:
Tim takes the token. He gets a funny look on his face and runs into the
back. A few minutes later he comes back and says, "Holy cow! This is the
first Chuck E Cheese token ever made! If you let us have it, you can play
all the games for free for the rest of you life!"
Brandon says:
"The ducky game??!!!"
Kevin says:
"yes, even the ducky game"
Brandon says:

Kevin says:
"Ok" Tim takes an invisible-ink stamp out of the drawer beneath the
counter and stamps your forehead. "There. Now all the machines will know
to let you play for free. Enjoy."
Brandon says:
Go to skeeball
Kevin says:
You run east past the dining room, Chuck E's Duckies, the bumblebee game,
and the camel ride and arrive at the Skeeball court.
Brandon says:
scan forehead in front of free game scanner
Kevin says:
You bend down to do that, but Stephanie, who was playing skeeball, laughs
and says, "you don't have to do that, stupid. It can see you from 10 feet
away!"
Brandon says:
take skeeballs
Kevin says:
Taken.
Brandon says:
go to dining room
Kevin says:
You walk west past the bumblebee game and chuck e's duckies. As soon as
you walk away from the skeeball machine, the balls you took disappear.
You are now in the dining room. There are rows of tables with kids eating.
To the north is the stage where an animatronic band is pathetically
performing 80's music.
Brandon says:
take animatronic Chuck
Kevin says:
He's too heavy.
Kevin says:
You notice a door in the back of the stage
Brandon says:
go through stagedoor
Kevin says:
You try to go through the door, but when you turn the knob, a computer
voice says, "Please insert backstage pass."
Brandon says:
scan forehead
Kevin says:
You scan your forehead, but you see nothing interesting.
Brandon says:
sit down with child's birthday party
Kevin says:
you go back south to the dining area and sit down. The parents start
looking your way uneasily.
Brandon says:
wait for live chuck e. mascot
Kevin says:
You wait. After a while, someone comes out and says that chuck e is not
coming out of his apartment backstage until someone goes back there and
brings him some cheese.
Brandon says:
"I HAVE CHEESE!"
Kevin says:
Your voice echoes magnificently around the room.

Brandon says:

Kevin says:
the man is gone. He disappeared.
Brandon says:

Brandon says:

games to earn 10,000 ticket
Kevin says:

You press the start button. Ducks parade along. You manage to hit 7 of
them. The machine spits out 7 tickets.
Brandon says:
Play Chuck E.'s Duck E's.
Kevin says:
You play and get 8 tickets. While you are playing, you notice Stephanie
wandering around to the different games.
Brandon says:
Beg her for tickets
Brandon says:
"I'll give you some half & half"

you find it for me, you can have all my tickets."
Brandon says:
ask "Where's the last place you saw your earring?"
Kevin says:
"I dunno. Somewhere north of here?"
Brandon says:

Kevin says:
Fishing game. You are at the fishing game.

There are little fishes on a carousel going around. A fishing rod dangles
down from above.
Brandon says:

Kevin says:
It is plastic.

Kevin says:
You look around, but it's not here, but you see the Spider stomp game to
the east and the ball pit to the west
Brandon says:
go to spider stomp
Kevin says:
Spider Stomp. Stephanie is madly stomping on the spiders, but not
necessarily the ones that are lit up.
Brandon says:
look at spider stomp platform for earring
Kevin says:
Stephanie screams, "STOP IT! You're messing me up! I already looked here
anyway."
Brandon says:
look through ball pit for missing earring
Kevin says:
You go west to the ball pit. You jump on in and swim around. Aha! You
found an earring!

Brandon says:

Spider stomp.
Stephanie has moved on to the south somewhere.

Cruizin' California, a car-race video game. There is a little kid racing,
but no Stephanie.
Brandon says:

Kevin says:
You go south to the camel ride and then east to skee ball. Stephanie waves
at you from atop a camel as you walk by.
Brandon says:

Camel Ride. Stephanie is just getting off the camel she was riding.
Brandon says:

Kevin says:
Stephanie screams with joy. She plants a big wet kiss on your cheek and
says, "Thank you, Brother! Here are my tickets!" She hands you a HUGE wad
of tickets.
Brandon says:
count tickets
Kevin says:
There are too many to count. You should feed them into the ticket chomper,
just south of the bumblebee game.
Brandon says:
go south of bumblebee game
Kevin says:
Done. There is a machine here for counting your tickets.
Brandon says:
feed wad of tickets

Kevin says:
You played twice, winning 7 tthe first time and 8 the second time

The machine spits out a receipt for 10,010 tickets. The old receipt
vanishes magically.

Oh, I forgot the second time because I was distracted when Steffi ran by
me
Brandon says:
Go to prize counter
Kevin says:
Gone to.
Brandon says:
buy one backstage pass and one spider ring
Kevin says:
Counter man: "Hey! You have enough tickets for a backstage pass! No one
has ever won that much before! Wow! You must be super-amazing! Here you
go!" He hands you a backstage pass and a ring with a spider crawling on
it.
Brandon says:
Go to dining room
Kevin says:
The animatronic creatures have gone silent.
Brandon says:
climb up on stage
Kevin says:
You feel giddy and a little creeped out being this close to the giant
robotic animals.
Brandon says:
go through backstage door
<
Kevin says:
The door refuses to open.
Brandon says:
run card through scanner
Kevin says:
The door opens.
Brandon says:
dash through door
Kevin says:
You are now backstage. There are piles of robotic animal parts littering
the floor. There is a door to the west.
Brandon says:
open that door!
Kevin says:
opened.
Brandon says:
tiptoe through door
Kevin says:
done.
Brandon says:
look
Kevin says:
You are now in Chuck E. Cheese's apartment. He has all the comforts of
home. Chuck is reclining on the sofa, watching Mighty Mouse.
Brandon says:
ask Chuck to "follow me!"
Kevin says:
<
"why?"
Brandon says:
do you want to be a restaurant mascot?
Kevin says:
"Hmm.. Well I dunno. I'm kinda hungry."
Brandon says:
offer cheese
Kevin says:
Chuck takes the cheese.
Brandon says:
offer to pour hot sauce on the cheese
Kevin says:
Chuck gobbles the cheese before you can ruin it.
Brandon says:
"Follow me"
Kevin says:
"But you don't know where you're going. Only I can open the exit that
lets you out of Chuck E. Cheese's"
Brandon says:
Let me follow you to McDonald's
Kevin says:
Chuck jumps up and walks south through a secret doorway into the lobby.
Brandon says:
jump up and follow him south through as secret door into the lobby
Kevin says:
He places his paw on a panel on the counter and a trapdoor opens in the
ceiling. A ladder slides down out of the door. Chuck climbs up the
ladder and disappears into the ceiling.
Brandon says:
climb up the ladder
Brandon says:
inventory
Kevin says:
After climbing for hours you somehow pop up in the McDonald's parking lot.
Kevin says:
Inventory:
pocket lint
ketchup packet
hot sauce
pencil
frozen burger
buns
Rag
Window spray
Ring
Spider
Brandon says:
pull Chuck E Cheese through the lobby
Brandon says:
through into the lobby
Kevin says:
Chuck goes in willingly.
Brandon says:
"You live here now."
Kevin says:
Chuck grabs a clown suit and big red shoes from the closet and jumps up on
the counter and starts dancing and singing a happy cheesy song. The
kitchen immediately springs to life and begins cooking. The cashiers
start taking orders from customers.
Brandon says:
get in line
Kevin says:
You try to get in line, but your boss starts shouting at you to get back
to work.
Brandon says:
Scrub tables
Brandon says:
inventory
Kevin says:
Congratulations. You've won! Now you can get back to earning minimum wage
again!
Kevin says:
The arrows are one-way paths
Brandon says:
ah
Brandon says:
my map was considerably different
Kevin says:
lol
Kevin says:
Well? Was it fun? Boring?
Brandon says:
The maze was a bit cumbersome
Kevin says:
lol
Brandon says:
I liked the part in McDonald's
Kevin says:
The impossible maze is a feature found in most text adventure games.
Brandon says:
I was angry following Stephanie through Chuck E. Cheese, but it was better
than her standing in one place, doing nothing
Kevin says:
lol
Brandon says:
I had thought about going back to the car to get the mouse that had
crawled out of my food wrappers to give as the new mascot
Kevin says:
Hmmm....
Brandon says:
Kevin says:
You reach for the fast food packaging, but when you touch it, a mouse runs
out and you decide to leave it alone.
Kevin says:
Right. I didn't even plan on having food wrappers but it sounded
plausible since you were living in your car.
Brandon says:
table scrubber
Kevin says:
Brandon says:
why, on the map, is the line to the safe from the office drawn so weird?
Kevin says:
I don't know.
Brandon says:
ah
Kevin says:
There are a few lines missing. And I forgot to put in the Skeeball table.
I intended to.
Brandon says:
where did the straw go?
Kevin says:
It ran away because you tried to make it do something. I forget.
Brandon says:
I tried to use it as a divining rod in the maze to find the exit
Kevin says:
oh yeah.
Kevin says:
I thought you could have distracted the seagull to drop the coin by
throwing the pocket lint. I didn't even plan on having you drop the coin,
but you forgot to tie your shoes.
Brandon says:
instead I tried to hang the seagull...
Kevin says:
how violent!
Brandon says:
I ended up whipping it
Kevin says:
Poor seagull
Kevin says:
I hope it decided not to sue you.
Brandon says:
I had assumed that when I put the shoes on, I had tied them
Kevin says:
It's a good thing you grabbed that cheese. I wasn't sure you would.
Brandon says:
I thought that a mouse might want it
Brandon says:
I listened to it, too
Kevin says:
I didn't plan on having that be where you got the cheese from. It just
sounded funny to have a cheese room
Brandon says:
where did you plan on me finding the cheese?
Kevin says:
I hadn't... I just happened to make a cheese room and then I figured that
would be a good place to get the cheese from.
Brandon says:
oh
