Dark PerGron’s Manor of Mysteries [Teaser Thread]

Done!
As you complete the word search, the peacock arrives leaping and fluttering over you, snatching the parchment out of your hand with a honk. Strange, yet not nearly the strangest thing you’ve seen today. Instead, you shrug it off, making your way to your house. You take the steps up and finally reach your door, clicking it open with your key, letting out a sigh of relief that at least there’s no puzzle to get inside.
You slump down on your couch, exhausted at how unnaturally long day you’ve just had, click on the television, and flip to Disney+. There must be a new Mandalorian episode or something Marvel, but as you doom scroll through the countless pages of series and films you’ve never seen and probably never will, you decide it’s probably best to get something to eat. Unfortunately, tonight was grocery night, and you clearly don’t have the energy for that, so flipping open Door Dash, you scroll again, finally settling on your restaurant choice, popping in your order, and paying.
While waiting, you procure the latex gloves your boss provided and flip the lid of the box back open, pulling out the book. There’s a morbid curiosity you have for the item and as you flip through it, something catches your eye. The words are in Latin and you can’t begin to interpret them, but the images are clear; you’re looking on at an ancient interpretation of dinosaurs. The bones and skeletons drawn and pictured are familiar, but the speculative creatures that they belonged to are almost funny. As you’re examining everything, time seems to fly by as you hear a knock on the door. Remembering your food, you jump from your seat and race to the door, opening it expecting your hot food, but instead, there is a second mahogany box.
This box, unlike the first, is shorter and longer, featuring not a single latch but twenty individual containers each sealed up with a wooden lid bolstering a wood-burned question mark in it. Sitting on top of the box is a parchment rolled up and tied with a green string. You grab the parchment and instinctually unroll it, revealing the riddle.
The note reads: “This box here houses treasures, and now your memory we must measure. For in some cubbies, there is a word that matches something absurd. Only open two at once, for the challenge needs to be more fun. Mix and match, your challenge is, start it here, pick up one lid.”
Now is your chance to complete this puzzle. Use your memory to match the artifact to its name and screenshot your results. Post them in a spoiler below to advance to the next puzzle.

You finish the puzzle, setting it down on the table in front of you before glancing over at your phone. Again, despite taking out time to solve this puzzle, no time seems to have lapsed, though you’re definitely hungrier than you were when you began. You shake it off and check on your food’s progress. It’s still a ways away, so you settle on watching something, anything, to keep your mind off the weird events of the day.
Finishing an episode and a half, you hear your doorbell ring and rush to the door, greeted by a sweaty red-faced delivery boy who, out of breath, questions why you have such a mean peacock in your yard. You apologize and give him a bigger tip for his troubles before guiding him through the yard back to his car, the peacock remaining in the bush yet watching you the whole time.
You get the delivery boy to his car and he thanks you, getting in and starting it. A sudden urge rushes over you to stop him, so you do, calling out “hey, wait!” and he does. He smiles, a knowing smile, and tells you “I have your next puzzle.” You groan in annoyance, just wanting to eat your food, but he rolls down the window, handing you a piece of parchment tied in a blue piece of string. You unfurl it as he backs down your driveway, leaving you behind.
The parchment is so similar to all the ones before, so your eyes almost glaze over as your stomach is rumbling. You decide to eat first and solve later, but as you go to enter back into your home, you find the doorknob has completely vanished. In its place is a code, similar to the one on the box. You look down at the paper and read what it says.
“Surely you’re hungry, you must be by now, and to do this is cruel and to this I avow. Yet you kept your invite on your desk all night, and thus have accepted this as your own plight. To gain back the that you have on the door, I challenge you now to go through the lore. Go back to a season of a difficult game and find a great show and gather its name. This may be a challenge, but many will know, a masterpiece lurks, and now searching you go.”

One more hint to help you out, this is a project I myself do tout. While this puzzle may give you a fright, the show in question occurs at night
