Who was Right, or was it something else?

Madison - More games - no games, watch a film

As Madison reaches inside the chest, she can feel the texture of the old wood and the rusted hinges. As she pulls out the first item, she sees it's a vintage version of the board game Clue, complete with wooden pieces and yellowed game board. The next item she pulls out is a leather-bound book with gold-leafed pages. The title reads "Parlor Games for Refined Gentlemen and Ladies", she passes it to Riley to look through.

As she reaches further into the chest, her hand brushes against something soft and she pulls out a leather pull bag with a small lock. She also finds a deck of cards that is so old the edges are frayed and the faces are partially faded, but looking carefully they appeared to depict a person in different positions. The cards are much smaller than standard playing cards, and Madison wonders what games they were meant to be used for.

At the bottom of the chest, she finds an old film reel with no label or markings. It's obvious that it hasn't been used in decades, but Madison can't help but wonder what movie might be on it. She holds it up to the light, trying to make out any visible clues, but it's too dark to see anything.

As Madison takes a step back, she realizes the chest is empty. She looks up and sees the group staring at her, waiting for her to pick a movie. She smiles and says, "Let's take a chance and see what's on this old film reel." Riley sets up the projector while Madison pops some popcorn, and they settle in to watch the mysterious film.

And the film was?
