About
Curiosa invites teams into a cheerful curio shop where owner Jeannette is always hunting for obscure objects and will happily value yours, until it becomes clear the place may be a cover for darker deeds; it runs for 100 minutes and scores high on special effects and scariness. Illusion explores the workshop of Marcus Furore, a magician who held the region spellbound over fifty years ago and disappeared from the stage after a gruesome accident, just before an angry mob arrived to burn his hideout. Both games lean heavily on storytelling and are aimed at players who enjoy tension, with fixed time blocks every day and last-minute requests by contact.
