In order to enter the estate, all guests invited have to act and wear attire from the 1920s. Once all there, festivities begin, and later all settle down for the dinner party. At the dinner, the Renegade (Shane Dawson) suddenly becomes ill and collapses from being poisoned. In his death, it was revealed that the Renegade was sent by a group known as the Society Against Evil to defeat the house, however with his death, the rest of the guests have to perform challenges in order to retrieve artifacts before sunrise in order to return to the present.[6][7]
