I’m not concerned about the time, so would rather investigate than speedrun

Voting basement specifically because John didn’t notice it. Something about his perception doesn’t want us to get to the end of this puzzle (keys, missing the exit, etc.) and I think this is another of those moments.

Farcical

All I want is for Oscar to stay alive I love him too much

Nicky

That’s why I want to save it for last - get the other info before the “Big Spooky” There might be tunnels down there and I want to find all the diaries first 😆

Brie

If feels like we're on a BIT of a time limit since we have until sunrise or more likely til Oscar wants to sleep. I think basement first just in case

Nicky

We have until the stone is in posession of a sleeping person. I think they can check a few extra sparsley furnished rooms without a big risk

We didn't go upstairs in the widow's house and I am still regretting that. I want ALL the lore! I'm sure we'll get to the creepy stuff irrespectively.

Can oscar stay alive please? I love him so much, he’s my favourite character next to Arthur and John.

Lora

I want upstairs simply because most people are voting for the other one, and I like to be contrary.

Arthur is making some BIG assumptions with his conclusion that Edward Allen summoned Hypnos to escape poverty. Especially, considering that, even before the summoning, Allen had a second home in the most expensive city in the country. Not to mention that Hypnos is a weird choice for financial stability. (Oscar pointed out that they don't know why Allen chose Hypnos yet.) If Arthur moves forward without a solid understanding of what happened here and why, he's likely to make mistakes he can't afford. To understand, he needs to know more about the Allen family. That information is upstairs. I don't think we should have Arthur walk into John's blindspot with a hunch if we can get him facts.

I think that upstairs is a good call. I’m hoping that we’ll be able to find some personal effects of Allen, perhaps even a journal, that might give us some further insight on what exactly he was capable of and how he went about the ritual. I also get the sense that if we don’t look upstairs now, we’ll lose the opportunity to. On a meta level, the basement is the typical option for creepy shit, so maybe it’s a fakeout and the important info we need is upstairs after all? I keep remembering in season 1 when patrons voted against searching upstairs of the widow’s house and thus missed out on gathering more information about her. I also don’t feel like we have any real time limit that’s forcing us to go fast; a methodical investigation, I think, is the only way we’ll have a chance at figuring out another solution to Scratch, and we need to gather as much information as possible.

I definitely wanted to jump right into that Evil Dead basement, but I think folks are making some great points about learning more if we can. My vote goes to the spooky attic for clues over the spooky basement!

AK Trash Panda

Upstairs is catching up! Let's go #UpstairsUnited!!

Fisher

join the side of #UpstairsUnited against the #BasementBros!

Honey Coffee

The eldritch cockroaches will still be in the basement after we have poked around upstairs #UpstairsUnited

Aebriel

Basement can wait!!! let's find all of the context first before we go into the basement!!!

Erik

Upstairs, simply for the chance of escaping out a window (or indeed down through rotted floorplanks).

Amy

We’re running out of time. The longer we go without facing Scratch, the longer we’re in trouble. Let’s just go to the basement already and cut to the chase.

Troll Kitty

We don’t want to leave anything upstairs to surprise us if we find something …malevolent 🤭 in the basement and have to run - better to clear the house a little at a time than be confronted with all the terrors at once
