Unlock the Mystery of Mary Shaw was a Liquid Generation Sabotage screamer promoting the 2007 movie Dead Silence. The flash starts off with an opening cinematic, accompanied by images based on the movie, and narrated by a male voice: “Years ago, in the town of Raven's Fair, lived a dark and secretive woman by the name of Mary Shaw. She was a ventriloquist who tragically lost her voice, and when she died, it was said that the only ones who mourned for her were her dolls. Now, the legend goes that her spirit lives on in the eyes of her dolls.”
Then the games shows some instructions for the playable portion, which are also narrated: “Look closely at this wall. Every time one of the doll's eyes turns red, click the flashlight to drive away Mary's ghost.”
Gameplay will start as soon as the narration is over, even if the player did not click 'Play' yet. The game shows a darkened view of a shelf containing multiple ventriloquist dummies. Players are in control of a flashlight to help illuminating the place. Every once in a while, a pair of eyes will pop up over one of the dolls, and the player needs to click on them, which makes the eyes and the doll disappear (though it is possible that the eyes will re-appear in a place were the doll has already vanished). As soon as the player clicks on their 5th pair of eyes, a close-up image of the ghost of Mary Shaw (the same picture as the one from the MaryShaw.gif screamer) will appear, shaking and screaming at the viewer. Then the Sabotage jingle will play, but without the cartoon ninja as in other Sabotages. Instead, it will show another advertisement for the movie Dead Silence as it was seen on the title screen, with a link to the movie trailer and a button to play again.
