When asked why she set her party game in the catacombs¸ Monica said: "After getting caught up on my favorite shows¸ I wanted to design a fun party game that didn't take a long time to learn and could be played in one night. When I was brainstorming themes¸ my first thought was 'How about necromancy?' Only¸ it's really hard to find an affordable lich these days and teach folks the proper spells in a few hours. Frustrated¸ I skimmed Twitter and was inspired by #MosaicMonday. The catacombs seemed like a nice¸ thematic compromise--with huge apologies¸ of course¸ to actual archaeologists and historians."
