There are the tracks of tyres coming to an end at a crippled stop sign. Anyone walking past can feel the prickle on the back of their necks that tells them something happened here- a vehicle careening to a halt., a child's backpack left in a hurry. Then they see two words, hastily scrawled on the sidewalk. Written in blood. 2. LAST ONE TO LEAVE: Seven strangers are invited to compete to win a clifftop mansion. The rules are simple- each contestant must have at least one hand in contact with one part of the house at all times. The last one to take their hand off, wins the house. Then, after 36 hours, a contestant is murdered.
