Magic University🪄
Enrol in the Extraordinary (9+)
For five centuries, the Founders' Spell has warded our world against the Shadow Realm, but the Blood Eclipse stains the sky and the enchantment is faltering. Summoned by Headmistress Selene Arkwright, you and your fellow apprentices must uncover the artefacts and restore the spell before the Shadow Realm breaks through. Your final test begins now.
Pirates 🏴☠
Plunder or the Plank. (9+)
Listen well, ye scallywags! Captured by the ruthless Calico Jack, you're below deck on the Caribbean's most notorious galleon. At dawn's first light, your fate is sealed: the plank! As sea fog rolls in, the crew slumbers heavy with rum, but the treasure chest sits unguarded. You must find where it's hidden and plunder it right from under Calico Jack's nose. Fortune favors the bold; will ye be rich or shark food?
The Possession 👻
Fear Is Back. (18+)
Rumours always circulated about this building and you never believed them... how silly you were. Trapped inside, the innocent echoes of nursery rhymes and children's laughter drift through rotting walls and the stale stench of decay. You are not alone, and Cathy wants you to play... forever. Navigate her collection of severed playthings without angering her, or join the other souls as the latest piece of décor in this house of agony.
Zombie Apocalypse 🧟
Edge of Extinction (18+)
The world has fallen to the undead. Seeking refuge, you've discovered a laboratory once on the verge of a miracle—now deserted after a horde breach, leaving the cure unfinished. From the containment chamber you hear the guttural snarls and heavy pacing of the only remaining test subject. As humanity's final hope, you must stabilise the volatile bio-tech before the power and containment fails. Will you synthesize the cure, or doom yourself and humanity forever?
Meat Grinder🥩
Bone Appetite (18+)
The stench of blood and bleach hits as you wake on the cold concrete floor. Rusted meat hooks sway overhead, while somewhere deeper in the house, steel crashes against steel. Your last clear memory is dinner - and thinking there is something off about your waiter. Suddenly, memories of seemingly unconnected missing-person reports flood back to you, and it all makes horrifying sense. He wasn’t serving dinner. He was choosing it! Will you escape the cannibal's slaughterhouse, or become tomorrow’s special?
Pirate Island 🏝
Arrr, Prisoners in Paradise! (9+)
A palm-fringed, powder-white sand beach stretching as far as the eye can see; the sound of waves crashing... aye, it would have been the perfect holiday, if you weren't trapped inside Calico Jack's beachside Shanty! The air thick with spilled rum and gunpowder, the Jolly Roger stalks the reef on the horizon, and that scoundrel is closing fast. Will you claim the treasure or remain a prisoner in paradise... forever?
Asylum 🤡
It's all in your head... (18+)
Enveloped by padded walls and total darkness, you hear the sharp clink of chains and feel the bite of cold metal handcuffs. A voice breaks the silence: "Heeellloooo my FAVOURITE patients! I make therapy FUN, but I can't let you out until you're all better!" Can you escape your cell whilst surviving twisted treatments before whoever he is returns for your final procedure?
Van Hesling 🧛
His Life. His Work. His Curse (13+)
“If you have found this letter… then I have failed. Dracula still lives.” In your hands carries the final words of Van Helsing, the legendary hunter who dedicated his life to destroying vampir. Now, his mission passes to you. Mist curls between crooked headstones as the dead whisper beneath the earth - souls Dracula deemed unworthy of eternal life, denied peace even in death. Use Van Helsing’s sacred artefacts to breach the catacombs, end centuries of tyranny and free the condemned, or take your place among them.
Coming Soon

Captain Nemo 🦑
20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (9+)
Captain Nemo's steampunk masterpiece isn't sailor's lore, it's now your reality! Trapped 20,000 leagues under, the Nautilus is groaning under pressure. With the Kraken stalking the hull, you must master the complex machinery to fix the submarine and rise to the surface—before the oxygen runs out and the beast's tentacles drag you to a watery grave!
Frankenstein ⚡
It's alive! It's alive! (13+)
Captain Nemo's steampunk masterpiece isn't sailor's lore, it's now your reality! Trapped 20,000 leagues under, the Nautilus is groaning under pressure. With the Kraken stalking the hull, you must master the complex machinery to fix the submarine and rise to the surface—before the oxygen runs out and the beast's tentacles drag you to a watery grave!
Jurassic 🦖
They’re Back! (9+)
Extinction was only temporary. Scientists achieved the impossible, bringing dinosaurs back to life at a controlled island facility. You arrive expecting the buzz of excited chatter, flashing cameras and sardine packed crowds. Instead, there’s no one in sight. A distant thud. Another. The ground begins to shake. Then comes the roar - deep, thunderous and far too close for comfort. You notice vines twisting through broken windows and rusted equipment. Can you find a way off the island or are you about to learn why you should never come between a mother and her eggs?
Buried Alive ⚰
Six Feet Under (18+)
Awakening in total darkness, your last memory is the hollow thud of shovelled dirt and a maniacal laugh. Reaching out, you meet hard wood in every direction - you’ve been buried... ALIVE! This is the work of the Undertaker, and you are the unwilling players in his latest sadistic game. As the air thins and narrow walls press in, you must use everything at your disposal to claw out before the coffin becomes your forever resting place.
