    Yes Theorists, I have more to say about Merge Mansion - the mobile game about an evil Granny tricking people into doing her bidding. Since my last episode on this game, they have leaned WAY into the lore idea. The newest commercials even dive into a live action version of the game starring Academy Award winner Kathy Bates as Granny. What is even HAPPENING? That is what I'm here to try and solve today. Theorists, Merge Mansion just got a LOT weirder.

    This clip makes me think he’s not actually an inspector at all. He is obviously working with grandma and maybe was used to urge Maddie into working faster on fixing the mansion with the idea that he could demolish the mansion when in reality the mansion was not going to be destroyed in the first place. He is only there to make her work harder and faster.

    A traditional broom is so far different than a modern broom.
    One is straw weaved onto a shaft, which can have pieces break off, but is more often the one depicted as used by witches.
    The other is plastic, but more tightly packed together, doesn't bring as much dirt, doesn't break up as often, and can clean more in a single sweep.

    Yes, actually. Push-brooms are different from rotate-brooms. Rotate-brooms are the classic "witch's broom" tool that you most often find in classic cartoons, whereas a push-broom is what you're more likely to find when you see a janitor at work.

    These ads show up so many times during my mystery games. I haven't seen you cover the one ad where grandma closes a suitcase with her foot and shoves it under the bed and in that same ad, a room is opened showing a huge loot (not lot, but loot) of money?!?
    I hope they make this into a movie staring #KathyBates. This is something I would watch. ♥

    So that "flowers in the garden" is likely a play on words reference to using a "Blood and Bone" fertiliser, just by the way. Might be worth analysing the flowers to see if you can find the species and if they grow well under blood and bone fertiliser. If they are hydrangeas for any reason, then, the flower color tells you the pH of the soil.

Stir in butter and lemon juice. Fold in cherries. Add a few drops of condensation collected from your bathroom mirror after a particularly long and emotional shower if desired.
    Step 2: Line pie plate with pie crust. Fill with cherry pie filling and dust from a photo album. Mm, memories! If desired, cut the top crust into wide strips to lay a lattice crust on the pie, or arrange in cryptic a message of your choosing.
    Step 3: Bake at 400 degrees F for 40-45 minutes. Let cool. Best enjoyed in a room full of documents that need to be shredded.

    I think that the knives aren’t each of her kills, I think it’s more likely that she is using fear to control Maddie. That explains why there are so many identical knives (she’d want dozens of cheap knives) and why she specifically wants Maddie to go in there.
    In fact, the majority of the commercials can be explained by the grandmother using fear to attempt to control Maddie, the pie written on the wall, the not so subtle threats, and even the murders she commits all seem intended to scare Maddie or take control of Maddie’s life. Her accidentally using human bodies in the pie that was intended for Maddie’s friends?
    A way to get Maddie’s friends to abandon her so Maddie relies on her grandma.
    Even forcing Maddie to do all the work cleaning up the mansion is treating Maddie more like a servant than as a child.
    I wouldn’t say she isn’t a murderer who puts bodies in pies, but I think her sole motivation for these murders is to control Maddie’s life

    Hey MatPatt!! I recently found a new ad featuring merge mansion, the following is shown:
    The police roll near the house of where grandma is. Grandma was texting on a Nokia-type phone, when she sees the lights. She hurriedly decides to hide the phone in a vase and proceeds to write a message with a black pen (important detail you already took in a previous theory!!).
    She then appears in what seems to be a kitchen and is taking out a book labeled the forbidden fruit (just a guess) and puts a folded piece of paper in it. She proceeds to be shown opening the door before a policeman can knock, theoretically going with them without a fight. Sometimes, you then see a short clip of the main character opening a door into the hallway..? Then the clip cuts at the gameplay.
    Another ad features a renovation clip with grandma dusting the furniture and the main character (MC) repairing the floor. Suddenly, a piece of wallpaper comes loose, revealing a door concealed. MC looks in shock, grandma is embarrassed..? MC proceeds to open the door, both MC and grandma seem to be shocked or surprised. Then the gameplay rolls in.
    I hope this might bring fuel to more theories!!
    I found this ad being repeated while playing rise of berk

    "Is there such a thing as a modern broom?"
    Well, yes. Most modern brooms are made with synthetic bristles, extruded plastic in the shape of pieces of straw. Go back a generation or two, and you get a straw broom, like the ones you can still buy in stores if you know where to shop. But go back even farther, and a broom is a stick with twigs tied to it.
    The ancestor of the modern rake.
    As for the pie theory, I have my doubts. If she was going to do that, why not turn the groom into pies, rather than scare him off and risk him coming back? It would be more permanent and more profitable. No, I suspect the pie filling is a cherry-red herring, at least in that regard.
    Likewise, the knives don't tie in by serial killer standards. Serial killers have fetishization of their killing methods. The infamous Ed Gein, for example, had one set of skinning tools for all of his victims. It becomes a part of their identity -- for them to change instruments or devices would be like you suddenly making a video series on beekeeping. The knives must be a key to something else.

      Not to mention the jpeg he used as a joke for it was close to the traditional broom the game meant. I don't think Ive even seen one of those in person. They're no longer bound straw on a stick, theyre plastic held together with more plastic on metal.

    So recently I saw an add where Lily's husband bursts through the door. That is it. I believe that after the events of the house being burnt and before she got arrested, this resulted in the husband coming back to warn Lily of grandma. Prove me wrong.

      Just like if he had a sponsor or a deal with the devs, he bring a big audiance and hype the whole deal; then "accidentally" something change or confirm what he mentioned months later on
