Daisy suggested. "We wouldn't run out of food there." "Okay. Plan." She ran to the kitchen, and found some knives, pots and pans, a lighter, and some other stuff she could weaponize. All of which she pulled into the room. She then collected a bunch of random items and brought those to the room as well. "Have any of you heard of a rube goldberg machine?" She asked excitedly.
