As a kid with 3 three siblings, we used to play family board games together. One of our family’s favorites was Electronic Talking Mystery Mansion, in which the players furnish a mansion with these little pieces of furniture and then search for clues about where the “money” is hidden. It’s an awesome game; it kind of feels like a combination of Clue and a dollhouse.
At a recent family gathering, we went to play the game and discovered that the “computer” part wasn’t reliably working. I joked that I could recreate the game… and a couple of hours of tinkering later, we were playing again.
Later on, I went back through and recorded my best impression of the talking voice. The voice-overs use winsound on Windows and PyAudio on Linux. The rest of the system is running on pure Python.
The project is available on GitHub, where there is a readme with installation instructions.
