Plot Summary
A history class is taking a trip to The Wicked Wax Museum the day before it opens. You and your friends, Jake and Liz, misbehave and are told by your teacher, Mr. Dunning, that you and your friends are not allowed inside. Your teacher tells you to sit on a bench while the rest of the class go on the tour of the museum. Eventually Jake decides to go inside, but then he starts screaming. Then the first choice appears, will you go in after him or get help. It is at this point where the story is divided into two major plot twists.
If you choose to go after him, you will have to face all sorts of living wax monsters as well as the servants of Dr. Izzy Wicked who want to turn you into another wax creation. Endings in this storyline vary from strangulation, being trapped in a closet forever, to shrinking. Possible alternatives include slaying Dr. Wicked and his henchmen, or escaping to the outside world.
If you choose to get help, you will meet Axel, a servant of Sybil Wicked, the daughter of Dr. Izzy Wicked who was horribly burned in an accident many years ago. She wants a new face for herself, so she wants to steal yours to replace her own disfigured one. Endings in this storyline vary from death, deboning, having your body chopped to pieces, to being kept in a hamster cage. Conversly, you may also escape, foil Sybil's plans, or bring about her demise and the death of her servant Axel.
Trivia
In one possible path, you meet an executioner, and you remark that it looks like the executioner you read about in a Goosebumps book (Referring to the executioner in "A Night In Terror Tower").
