D3lir1um

Some secrets are best left buried.

In 1931, the Delirium Children’s Asylum had finally shut its doors… but its darkness endures. Once believed to be a place of healing for society’s most disturbed children, the truth was far more sinister. The doctors were not doctors at all, but cultists using the vulnerable as pawns in devil-worship and blood-soaked sacrifice.The screams may have faded, but the spirits remain - and they are not at rest.

You and your team have broken into Delirium, determined to uncover its secrets. But the deeper you go, the more reality begins to fracture. Cursed relics, cryptic symbols, and remnants of long-forgotten rituals block your every path to escape.

To get out, you’ll need more than courage - you’ll need to solve the mysteries left behind by the cult, hidden beneath layers of madness, misdirection, and malice.

Time is running out. Sanity is slipping.

Will you break free and escape the asylum’s grasp, or be claimed by the legacy of D3LIR1UM?

The Cell

Locked up for a crime you didn’t even commit?! …Typical!

The guards barely looked at your file before slamming the door shut, and now the justice system won’t give you the time of day. But hope isn’t lost, as your cellmate let slip a valuable secret: the guards always leave their I.D. cards somewhere before shift change. If you can find one, there
might be a way out of here after all…

One of you is chained up, but not alone - teamwork will be your greatest asset. Keep your eyes sharp, your minds sharper, and your hands sneaky. Puzzles, locks, and clever clues stand between you and freedom… and the clock is already ticking.

You’ve got 30 minutes until the next guard walks in. Can you pull off the ultimate jailbreak and escape The Cell - or will your names be stuck in the system forever?

Vertic Alley and the Parlour of Secrets

One moment you’re on the right path… the next, poof! You’ve taken a wrong turn down a crooked, cobbled alleyway, and now you’ve landed in a place that definitely isn’t on any map.

Your wand? Missing.

Your spellbook? Vanished.

Your sense of direction? Highly questionable!

The shops around you sparkle with enchantment, secrets shimmer in every corner, and puzzles practically beg to be solved. You’d love to stay and explore, but there’s a small problem: you’ve got a very important train to catch, and the clock is ticking!

To get back on track, you’ll need to puzzle your way through the twisting, tricksy Parlour of Secrets - decipher magical riddles, uncover hidden clues, and unlock a path to the station before the last whistle blows.

Will you make it in time… or be lost in Vertic Alley forever?

Ever After

Once upon a time... everything went completely wrong!

You and your team have tumbled into a storybook world where fairy tales are all mixed up - and worse still, the magic that holds them together has vanished! To make matters even trickier, a wicked spell has split you into two separate tales.

You’ll have to work across storylines, solve enchanted puzzles, and communicate cleverly if you want to find your way back to each other.

Magic is fading fast, and the Evil Queen is growing stronger with every tick of the clock. She’s determined to trap you between the pages forever and rewrite the stories her way - no happily ever afters allowed!

Can you reunite your team, restore the magic, and set the stories right again? Or will you become just another tale trapped in the pages of Ever After?

Operation Slimeworth: A Heist Too Far

He was your partner. Your friend.

Now? He’s your greatest rival.

The world’s greatest double agent just pulled off the ultimate double cross. Francis Slimeworth has disappeared, along with your cut from the last job. And now? It’s payback time.

You and your team are going rogue.

You’ll need to sneak, solve, and outsmart your way into Slimeworth’s top-secret vault. Security systems, locked doors, and layers of misdirection stand in your way - and you can bet Slimeworth didn’t make it easy.

Get in, grab the goods, and slip out without a trace.

But be warned: when you go head-to-head with the best in the business… even the smallest mistake could make this a heist too far.
