About This Challenge

The Pit and the Pendulum is a classic short story by Edgar Allan Poe that explores themes of fear, suspense, and survival. In line with these themes, we have created a timeline game where players must place events from the story in their correct chronological order.

  • Players will need to remember key moments such as the protagonist waking up in a dark, damp prison cell.
  • They must also recall the terrifying descent into the pit as the pendulum swings closer and closer.
  • For an added challenge, players may also have to place events like the protagonist’s eventual escape from the pendulum’s deadly blade.
