Grimoire never seemed to really find its footing, and Mesmer is loved, but it is time for something new.

Curious if Origins is going to make it a few years or just one more.

Watch it be come a Legacy house (like the legacy zones) and just never leave

I’m a little surprised Mesmer is being retired before Wax Works or Curse of Calico. I’m not surprised Grimoire is getting the boot. I appreciate the effort, but it never worked for me.

It’s possible I’m misreading you, but Wax Works was retired last year.

Nope, I'm just an idiot!

Yeah, Grimoire had a really interesting-sounding premise, but I think the execution of the idea leaves most people confused. I must say I have had some great scares in there though.

I would love for Origins to be overhauled instead of replaced — I feel like it’s kind of the thesis house for the event at this point.

Definitely gonna' miss Mesmer, absolutely loved the theme and its trance-like tone. Grimoire was neat and had its moments, but for such a long house it didn't quite hit like the others.

As for Origins, there is rumblings they're tweaking it this year, so that can very well give it another year or so to its lifespan.

They also mentioned during the Midsummer panel that Grimoire's location was actually supposed to be switched with Bloodline 1842. Some COVID related issues caused them to change it. It would have been interesting to see how that could have changed the maze.
