  1. You let Jane enter the haunted house, then go in yourself after she doesn't come back. You find her trapped and look for help; Mrs. Bigley serves you drugged cheese and crackers, and you turn into a mouse.
  2. You let Jane enter the haunted house, then go in yourself after she doesn't come back. You find her trapped and rescue her, running downstairs to avoid Mrs. Bigley, losing her again in the process, finding Lena (the maid). You look further and find Melissa (the cat), and you follow it. You are shrunk to the size of a mouse, and run out of the room, waking up normal size as if from a dream. You find Lena again in the dining room, and accept her offer of drugged cheese and crackers which you try to sleep off. You awake to find Jervis (the caretaker) who warns you you've been cursed. You try to escape, but he locks you in, so you go upstairs into a creepy room, enter the closet, then go down to the kitchen and through a hall, finding Mrs. Krim. You leave to the music room and find Melissa walking on the piano, pick her up, and realize you have lifted the curse! You shoo her away, and leave the house with your friends. You meet the family lawyer and realize you would have inherited a fortune had you not let Melissa go!
  3. Multiple ways to return to the start through time warps or inexplicable happenstance.
  4. A loop involving you shrinking to the size of a mouse, then reawakening at normal size as if from a dream.
