Hotel High Tower

######## ######### III was a wealthy and notorious explorer and collector. On New Year's Eve 1899, he was to hold a press conference in his luxurious Hotel ######### to announce his acquisition of a strange statue named Shiriki Utundu, recovered on an expedition to a remote region of Africa. Something went terribly wrong however: As Mr. ######### was taking his statue to the hotel's penthouse apartment, the elevator inexplicably came crashing down to the ground! The statue was the only thing found in the elevator; Mr. ######### mysteriously disappeared without a trace. (It was after this "accident" that people began calling the hotel the "Tower of Terror.") The hotel remained closed for over 100 years, but was recently opened by the New York City Preservation Society to allow people to tour the hotel and view Mr. ########### collection of treasures.
