Twin Peaks










The Forest - Even if you're not the outdoorsy type, surely you can appreciate some fresh air! Arriving in this neighborhood may give off the impression you've been dropped in the middle of a forest, but never fear! While we're sure you've developed some new trauma over in Oz, the signs in this forest are appropriately labeled and lead you in the right direction on the right roads. You can find all sorts of small hills, hidden caves and even a ravine or two the farther you travel, accompanied by the sound of wild woodland creatures you can't ever seem to find. Wander from the path and you'll be rewarded with a river or a small waterfall...or a bottomless pit. You know, whichever. Don't fall in! It may be a while before anyone finds you again.

The Mystery Shack - No matter what side of the forest you exit from, you'll find yourself stumbling upon a path and potentially into an old abandoned station wagon. Hooray! Back to civilization! Kind of. Surrounded by a few long-abandoned vehicles and a silly little golf cart, a large triangle-shaped building greets you. Like everywhere else, this gift shop is completely unmanned. Well. You think it might be a gift shop? Maybe a museum? Interspersed with the various novelty items of the shop, you may stumble on familiar items from your home. Not to worry! They're perfectly safe behind glass display cases, and no one can break through. After all, important items should be protected at all costs.

The Basement - Oh? It looks like poking around the Mystery Shack pays off. Past the shelves of hats, keychains, and weird jars of who-knows-what you'll come across a door against the back wall. As you head down the stairs on the other side, you'll discover there's a basement; a tech-lab of some kind. It looks run-down and long-since abandoned, but there are all kinds of electronic bits and pieces to play around with. The only thing that's already in one piece and still functional is an old computer, but with some digging you might be able to dig up some wires, tools and casing to build your own (slightly dysfunctional) gadgets. And if that's not enough to draw your attention, a large gate of some kind, farther in, lies dormant. Wonder where that used to go.

The Diner - All of that exploring can really work up an appetite, huh. If you're craving breakfast food, the local diner is your dream come true. While the pride and joy of the menu is good coffee, waffles, pancakes and crepes, there are thick, juicy burgers too, if that's more to your liking. In the back of the diner is an old jukebox for ambience, though it sometimes stutters and skips as the music plays. Be sure to wash your hands to get rid of the sticky, syrupy residue before you leave! Don't worry too much about the weird bathroom. Public bathrooms are always a little weird, right...?

The Jamboree - Are you looking for a hoot-hollerin' good time? Come on down to Hoo-Ha Owl's Pizzamatronic Jamboree! A family restaurant that doubles as great entertainment, The Jamboree always smells like its famous cheesy and greasy pizza (so strong it'll cling right to you; take a little piece of the fun home with you!) Small clusters of tables and vinyl booths make up a good portion of this restaurant, but check out the indoor play-place (ball pit included) while you wait for the main event. Everyone loves a show with their meal, you know? Sit right down, put your hands together and enjoy the animatronic band! They're not creepy in the slightest!

When they aren't performing, their dormant forms may sometimes flicker to life just long enough to spout some random, incomplete recording through a thick digital filter. Enjoy hip catch phrases such as: "I believe in you!" "Neutral thot?" "You've taken my very words." "You're not a thot." "Did none of you tell each other—" "And she's the hottest!" "Checking out my ass?" "I am but an ordinary man." "You won't get an answer." "It's not a bias if it's true." "You really got out-evil'd." "He brought me chocolate!" "I'm going to tear your hand off." and "I'm letting you decide your own fate."

The Fair - As if the Jamboree wasn't enough fun, you're in luck: the Mystery Fair is in town! Temporary rides have been set up in a wide clearing in the forest, not too far from the Mystery Shack. All of the rides look - and sound - a little rickety, but that's part of the rustic charm.

Take a ride on the Ferris wheel (that gets stuck at the top, so we hope you like your gondola buddy), ride one of the majestic creatures on the carousel (yikes), or go on a journey through the Tunnel of Love (and corndogs) (what does this mean.)

There are plenty of non-ride attractions, too. A changing stall and collapsible racks of costumes sit beside a cramped photobooth, perfect for putting on a silly outfit and capturing some new memories! A little ways down you'll find a funhouse made of mirrors, filled with all kinds of exciting twists and turns. Stupidly, you'll also find an extremely elaborate mini-golf course right next to this house of mirrors, and yet no matter how hard you hit the outside nothing shatters. Fore! And what's a fair without all kinds of fair* games! (*they're not fair in the slightest, they're extremely rigged and every time you win a prize it disappears and mysteriously winds up in the museum at the Mystery Shack. Damn.)
