You are a team of archaeologists who have broken into Professor Whippleton’s eccentric, haunted manor to recover a cache of magical oddities that—legend claims—could cure sadness. The game unfolds as a focused, theatrical search through rooms of collected curiosities and possible enchantments, with one hour on the clock to find what you came for before the powers are lost forever.

THE ODDITIES

Professor Whippleton's Collected Curios

The scenario centers on an eccentric professor’s global collection: cabinets and displays of odd artifacts with hinted magical properties. Players spend most of the hour interrogating those objects and the clues they contain to locate the items of power.

THE CLOCK

A One‑Hour Rush

This is a timed, one‑hour game: you have sixty minutes to secure the items before the opportunity—and any enchantments—vanish. The limit frames every search and puzzle with clear urgency.

What the day feels like

How the Game Unfolds

You begin as intruders in a cluttered manor: rooms staged with artifacts, puzzles embedded in displays and locked cabinets, and clues that point toward the final prize. The pacing is methodical but driven—search, interpret, solve—under the constant constraint of a single hour to locate and secure the enchanted objects before time runs out.
