During PAX East, Telltale Games sent out an unusual tweet teasing that they were to have guests over for a key party:

Clicking the link took you straight to their front door, where a bowl was sitting and waiting to perform its duty of holding dem keys.

Today was the first day someone was meant to arrive, and the site has since been updated to include a set of keys. Each day will supposedly see a new guest arrive, up to April 1st.

March 25th:

~~Who could it be?~~ Looks like it's Sam's Desoto.

March 26th (posted way late):

Def' Brock Samson's keys.

March 27th:

Name's Ash. Housewares.

March 28th:

Claptrap

GLADOS

My guess is this is related to the new Poker Night game or a similar type of Telltale Goof-off side project, or a really elaborate April fool's day hoax. We'll find out soon enough.

EDIT: SPOILERS HERE DON'T LOOK IF YOU WANT TO KEEP GOING WITH THE MYSTERY

Hype

1. I hope its Poker Night 2
2. PLEASE be multiplayer
3. Lee Everett should be in this one

peanutbutterlatte · Mar 25, 2013

The implication of Clementine at a key party is disturbing, so I'm hoping this is indeed Poker Night.

Agreed, but only in

half dead/one arm/zombified mode

I believe there was some Poker Night 2 stuff in the Steam registry recently.

Walking Dead spoiler:

Zombie Lee as a character?

CheesecakeRecipe · Mar 25, 2013

Maybe the twist of the bone helmet is

Lee actually became king of the zombies

snoopeasystreet · Mar 25, 2013

They're finally making the J Allard adventure game that we've always dreamed of.

I didn't know 'key party' had any other implications. What the hell is Telltale doing?

Hoo-doo · Mar 25, 2013

A key party, huh? Isn't that like a swingers night?

V_Ben · Mar 25, 2013

The first keys in the bowl look like the ones to the desoto.

Good spot, so that'd make the first guest Sam.

That's the joke, yes.

Axiom · Mar 25, 2013

Looking at those keys I think about Full Throttle.

But that's also because I don't associate any other adventure game with a pair of keys off the top of my head

Probably Poker Night 2 as has been said, but while those symbols look like they should be familiar to me I'm coming up blank.

Well, maybe not car keys, but every adventure game ever is legally required to have to puzzle where you slide the newspaper under the door to catch the key.

inm8num2 · Mar 25, 2013

Better than a lemon party, right?

Delusibeta · Mar 25, 2013

Putting car keys in a dish? Sounds like a Poker Night.

Jawmuncher · Mar 25, 2013

So what ever happened to the Fables game they were working. Hell they even hinted at another back to the future.

The Elite · Mar 25, 2013

Finally, a game my wife can play!

Baleoce · Mar 25, 2013

Get A.J Locascio to do Marty again. Also, Christopher Lloyd

Probably, there have been some hints of Poker Night 2 from items found in TF2:

http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Bloodhound Sams hat from Sam & Max
http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Dapper_Disguise Handsome Jack's mask from Borderlands 2
http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Necronomicrown Evil Ash's crown from Evil Dead
http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Long_Fall_Loafers Chell's long-fall boots from Portal
http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Samson_Skewer Brock Samson's knife from Venture Bros.

Please be Poker Night 2 with a walking dead character.

I'm glad you added the image, because I've never played Sam & Max and the first thing I immediately thought of when I saw awesome car keys was "oh god they're doing a Supernatural game?!?!" and I had a line of /facepalm GIFs ready.

Day 2 got put up very late by Telltale, and it's:

Brock Samson.

As long as Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick write it.

CheesecakeRecipe · Mar 27, 2013

Aww, so it's Claptrap and not Handsome Jack. Dreams a little crushed, but this is otherwise completely awesome and I will be there day 1.

Alaskanbullworm · Mar 27, 2013

Seeing all of these characters interact will be amazing. I only wish that Sam's voice was from the cartoon since that was a god-tier voice

I bet that Wheatley will make a cameo somewhere since he did those voices for TF2

JustinBB7 · Mar 27, 2013

Only really know

Claptrap and Glados

, and looks like

Glados

is not playing but observing. Oh well, I wonder if this will just be the same game only with different characters and some venues, or if they will add multiplayer or something. But I doubt it.

Will still be fun though, can't wait.

Edit: Wait is that

Moxxi

at the bar? Day one.

SolsticeZero · Mar 27, 2013

Fucking ASH? Day. One.

OnimaruXLR · Mar 27, 2013

I am super excited about everything having to do with this game except anything related to Borderlands. Fuuuuck Borderlands.

Gunstarheroes · Mar 27, 2013

So how does the

Portal characters

play into this?

GavinGT · Mar 27, 2013

I can't decide whether an adventure game based off Army of Darkness would be a good idea.

Ah, the classic moral quandary of deciding whether to say to the princess, "Gimme some sugar, baby", "Hail to the king, baby!", or "Yo, she-b*tch. Let's go."

Woah, woah woah...are they NOT using the same voice actor?

EDIT: Cool, looks like each character gets their own level

Cronq · Mar 27, 2013

Dammit.

Read title and first thought it said:

Katy Perry

I was really excited for a bit.

This is sheer awesome.
