There, they are forced to participate in a deadly game show in which they must fight for survival against other monsters.
The final segment is called "In the House" and takes place entirely within Mordecai and Rigby's house. The duo discovers a mysterious board game that they decide to play, but it soon becomes clear that the game is cursed. As they progress through the levels, they find themselves experiencing increasingly terrifying supernatural occurrences until they are forced to confront the source of the game's power.
