If you know the answer to this game, please be honest, and do not ruin it for the others.
This is a game of twenty questions. And yes, it may take more than twenty.
The object is to ask yes or no questions. Based on the answers previously given, you goal is to come up with the story or details that explains why the events unfolded as they did. After this one, if successful and fun, I have others to follow. I will try to answer the questions every day in a timely fashion.
And again, if you know the answer, please just play along and let the others figure it out. It's going to be a long winter. :-D
_____________________________
One stormy night, a taxi drives down a rather dark road. It pulls into a driveway and follows the road back around the house. The taxi stops, and out of the taxi steps a man with a box. He knocks on the door and enters. Inside the garage, are four men sitting at a table. Without saying anything, the man places the box on the table. Each man sitting at the table looks at the man that has entered the room, and looks in the box and nods. After the last man has nodded in agreement, one of the men states "your debt has been paid and no harm will come to you". Upon hearing this, the man without saying anything, turns and leaves.
What just happened, and why?
-
I know the answer.
What just happened - A man paid a debt he owed to 4 guys.
Why - because if he did not harm was going to come to him. lol Just joking. This seems like a fun game.

Hmmmm,....I think the "Stormy Nite" has something to do with this......
I am thinking four people, maybe there to play a game...maybe poker...or Spades....I'm thinking that the box was a deck of cards maybe....
Or, maybe, years ago, somebody was watching me enter the "Body Shop" with a box full of beer, and the guys decided that was enough to cover the labor for fixing my truck! :)

Oooh good clue Jim, the plot thickens. So all 5 men have arms removed at the elbow and there was an accident, that the one guy caused or didn't cause? I can't quite remember.

-

It's not what is not in the box, but what is in the box.
Thus far, an arm, from the elbow down, including fingers is in the box. And yes, you have named all the body parts in the box.

I'll hazard a guess :-D
A plane crashes and five men survive. Knowing they will starve they form a pact that they will each sacrifice an arm in order to sustain themselves. They do so, one at a time as the need for food is required. They are rescued before the fifth man has had to fulfill his obligation to the others. Over time the feelings of guilt overcome him and he does the right(?) thing. Forgive me if I'm wrong and this scenario seems overly morose, sometimes I have an overactive mind. :roll: :evil:

95% is correct, but I'll add the following instead of nitpicking over the details. They did form a pact, they did eat four arms, the pact stated that if the fifth man would not fullfill his obligation, the other four men would seek revenge. So it was not out of guilt, but by threat, that he had to fullfill the pact.
-
ok i get it
-
I think Greg Peck was on target by isolating what was in the box. And Jim focused in on the end, with Perry detailing the answer. It was actually answered faster than I though it would. It is one of the highest rated games in terms of difficulty.
For those coming in late and perhaps not reading all the replies....
The 5 men were in an airplane crash. They resorted to cannibalism as a way to survive. They made a death pact that whatever body part was eaten and sacrificed by one, the rest must follow. They were rescued after the fourth man lost his arm. He was fullfilling the pact and meant the others would not seek his death.
-
The outcome was far from what I was thinking in the beginning. It is a fun game. I spent a lot of time thinking about it driving around at work. I would like to do more if others are into it.
