The solutions below are by David Welbourn.
Segmented games. Each player was given a separate task. To move a dead body from one place to another. The first game started in the Attic and the last ended in the basement. There were games for; Attic, Upper Hallway, Stairway, Living Room, Lower Hallway, and Basement.
Domokov: You are enlisted to write a game that is entirely set in an attic. The goal is to get out with the dead body. There could be cobwebs, dressing dummies, hats, old Apple IIe's. The result is the PC gets left in the Upper Hallway.
jwalrus: You are to take the PC from the upper hallway and get to the stairs. Your mother demands that you do your homework and clean your room first. The dead body must get to the stairs where you will meet your little sister.
mcp: You must play hopscotch on the stairs with your little sister and get the dead body to the living room. She may also demand a game of chess.
Limax: In the living room, you must sneak the dead body past your father who is napping and get it to the lower hallway where your dog guards the basement door.
Jarb: I will distract the dog and get the dead body to the basement.
Dilbon: You will put the dead body in the furnace. Obviously this must not be as simple as PUT IN FURNACE. Please feel free to embellish.

Don't just pick up the body and head down the stairs. Your sister, Katelyn, is hopping about randomly on the stairs. You should meet her somewhere on the trip down, and she should propose a game where you try to avoid hopping to a piece of stairway that has the steak or the coat.
>x chandelier. x body. d. e. d. w.
>x steak. take it. x coat. take it. e. drop steak. u. w.
With the steak on the lower east stairs, wait on the Landing for Katelyn to appear and hop away. Hope that she's hopped to the East stairs.
>drop coat. e.
If Katelyn isn't here, that is, trapped between steak and coat, go back to the Landing, pick up the coat, and wait for her again. You'll probably have to try a few times before she's trapped where you want her. Assuming she is here, trapped on the east stairs:

>x me. i. x body. x Fido.
The following sequence is a red herring; Fido will still follow you, and still bark when you try to go down, even when he has the steak.
>e. x cupboards. x fridge. open it. take steak.
>x steak. give steak to Fido. w. (d. undo.)
Here's the real answer. Because there's a serious danger of getting caught if Fido barks three times, don't waste any time examining anything in the living room:
>drop body. w. take book. e. x book. take body. d.
