Description[]
Can you make it through King Pig's horrifying game of Halloween horrors?! Get ready for plenty of thrilling thrills, the chilliest of chills!
Story[]
Unlike previous episodes, this one is interactive—sort of like a Choose Your Own Adventure book. Red, Chuck and Bomb wake up, bound together by a chain locked together. When they wake up, the TV comes on, and King Pig states he is playing a game with them. For the first challenge, they are to free themselves using the key to pick a lock that holds the chain they're bound with. He gives them this clue: The key to success is patience. At this point, you're given two choices—go towards the stuffed bear on one end, or a plate of spaghetti on the other.
Go To Teddies:
Go To Teddies
If this choice is chosen, the three will mistakenly think the key is inside the bear. They tear it open, much to the ire of King Pig, who had clearly told them to be patient. The room then fills with gas, presumably killing the three birds.
Eat Noodles:
Eat Noodles
But if this choice is chosen, the three will go over to the dish, and eat it (only for Bomb to finish eating it before the others can have a go). This choice is the correct one, evident when the key falls, and the birds free themselves. King Pig congratulates them, and presents them with their second challenge, which is to pick any of two doors, giving them another clue: Doors don't just let people in, they also let things out. You can either choose the first one that is pointing out danger of some sort, or the other one that is safe (and apparently clown-themed).
Danger Door:
Danger Door
Now if this choice is picked, the trio will briefly argue over which door is safe. Chuck and Red both have a hunch that the doors' parameters are swapped—the bad one is the correct choice and vice versa. They choose to open it anyway, only to be met by failure; it was the wrong door. Whatever's inside is seemingly released, and it probably hunts down Red, Chuck and Bomb.
Happy Door:
Happy Door
Though if you pick this choice, Bomb comments on how Red and Chuck are silly; he decides to go for the good door. This choice is the correct one, evident as when the trio enter, the room is well-lit, has multiple decorations of clowns, gifts, and two cakes right in front of them. Yet again, King Pig congratulates the three, and impatiently presents them with one last thing before he can go home: there are two cakes, one vanilla & one chocolate. He ominously tells them to pick either and enjoy. But even though this is the apex, Red, Chuck and Bomb still suspect something.
Chocolate Cake:
White Cake
When this choice is picked, Red and Chuck give their suspicions on how the cakes are trapped, like them being put on pressure plates or even poisoned cakes. Despite this, Bomb tries out the chocolate cake, while Chuck watches fearfully. He soon feels parched, as the cake, for some weird reason, is dry. Red looks annoyed, while the TV comes on, and King Pig comments on Bomb's disdain, and the game abruptly ends.
White Cake:
Chocolate Cake
And if this choice is picked, the scene from above here plays out as usual. Though Bomb eats the white cake instead. This is apparently the right choice in this final challenge—Bomb exclaims how delicious the white cake is. The other two are relieved, and King Pig shows up on the TV one last time. He thanks the trio for playing in his game, and for enjoying the cake he baked. Everyone wishes the audience a happy halloween, bookending the episode.

Trivia[]
- Much of the episode's premise is a nod to the Saw films, where the main villain pits several people against life-threatening games to test their survival instinct.
