Game Theory: The Disturbing Lore of Merge Mansion Just Got Darker!

Get yourself The Quest Jacket and SOLVE our mystery! ► theorywear.com/
Yes Theorists, I have more to say about Merge Mansion - the mobile game about an evil Granny tricking people into doing her bidding. Since my last episode on this game, they have leaned WAY into the lore idea. The newest commercials even dive into a live action version of the game starring Academy Award winner Kathy Bates as Granny. What is even HAPPENING? That is what I'm here to try and solve today. Theorists, Merge Mansion just got a LOT weirder.

A traditional broom is so far different than a modern broom. One is straw weaved onto a shaft, which can have pieces break off, but is more often the one depicted as used by witches. The other is plastic, but more tightly packed together, doesn't bring as much dirt, doesn't break up as often, and can clean more in a single sweep. (Why do I know/care this much about brooms?)

Add a few drops of condensation collected from your bathroom mirror after a particularly long and emotional shower if desired. Step 2: Line pie plate with pie crust. Fill with cherry pie filling and dust from a photo album. Mm, memories! If desired, cut the top crust into wide strips to lay a lattice crust on the pie, or arrange in cryptic a message of your choosing. Step 3: Bake at 400 degrees F for 40-45 minutes. Let cool.

I think that the knives aren’t each of her kills, I think it’s more likely that she is using fear to control Maddie. That explains why there are so many identical knives (she’d want dozens of cheap knives) and why she specifically wants Maddie to go in there. In fact, the majority of the commercials can be explained by the grandmother using fear to attempt to control Maddie, the pie written on the wall, the not so subtle threats, and even the murders she commits all seem intended to scare Maddie or take control of Maddie’s life. Her accidentally using human bodies in the pie that was intended for Maddie’s friends? A way to get Maddie’s friends to abandon her so Maddie relies on her grandma. Even forcing Maddie to do all the work cleaning up the mansion is treating Maddie more like a servant than as a child. I wouldn’t say she isn’t a murderer who puts bodies in pies, but I think her sole motivation for these murders is to control Maddie’s life

"Maybe she just wanted to show off her knife collection" Yuri: *Nervous sweating*

[@tomjehovahswitness4200]

Hey MatPatt!! I recently found a new ad featuring merge mansion, the following is shown: The police roll near the house of where grandma is. Grandma was texting on a Nokia-type phone, when she sees the lights. She hurriedly decides to hide the phone in a vase and proceeds to write a message with a black pen (important detail you already took in a previous theory!!). She then appears in what seems to be a kitchen and is taking out a book labeled the forbidden fruit (just a guess) and puts a folded piece of paper in it. She proceeds to be shown opening the door before a policeman can knock, theoretically going with them without a fight. Sometimes, you then see a short clip of the main character opening a door into the hallway..? Then the clip cuts at the gameplay. Another ad features a renovation clip with grandma dusting the furniture and the main character (MC) repairing the floor. Suddenly, a piece of wallpaper comes loose, revealing a door concealed. MC looks in shock, grandma is embarrassed..? MC proceeds to open the door, both MC and grandma seem to be shocked or surprised. Then the gameplay rolls in. I hope this might bring fuel to more theories!! I found this ad being repeated while playing rise of berk

If grandma’s gig with the city inspector doesn’t work out, I know a mechanic who works on animatronics who would be a great match. He’s very intelligent, not to mention his great work ethic: despite the odds, he always comes back and tries again!

[@Wolfrover]

"Is there such a thing as a modern broom?" Well, yes. Most modern brooms are made with synthetic bristles, extruded plastic in the shape of pieces of straw. Go back a generation or two, and you get a straw broom, like the ones you can still buy in stores if you know where to shop. But go back even farther, and a broom is a stick with twigs tied to it. The ancestor of the modern rake. As for the pie theory, I have my doubts. If she was going to do that, why not turn the groom into pies, rather than scare him off and risk him coming back? It would be more permanent and more profitable. No, I suspect the pie filling is a cherry-red herring, at least in that regard. Likewise, the knives don't tie in by serial killer standards. Serial killers have fetishization of their killing methods. The infamous Ed Gein, for example, had one set of skinning tools for all of his victims. It becomes a part of their identity -- for them to change instruments or devices would be like you suddenly making a video series on beekeeping. The knives must be a key to something else.
