The night
Four moves, all by text
Text to check in
Text the event line. Ariadne checks you in with a color gem, a secret word, and your four-letter game ID.
Run the labyrinth
Solve the three quests by text: match gem colors, find the guest who completes your phrase, and crack the riddles.
Order by text
Name any drink on the menu. Ariadne routes it to the bar and texts you the moment it's ready at pickup.
Watch the board
The room projection shows live scores and gems. Climb the ranks, solve together, and don't fade out.
Your gem
Six gems, one color wheel
Everyone gets a color gem at check-in. We never say why. Each gem is a hue on the wheel, and the first quest is to gather a triangle of three: all primaries, or all secondaries.
Primary triangle
red · yellow · blue
- Garnet
- Citrine
- Aquamarine
Secondary triangle
purple · green · orange
- Amethyst
- Peridot
- Topaz
The quests
Three quests, one labyrinth
Solve them in any order. Text your answers (game IDs, secret words, riddle solutions) to Ariadne, and your points stack live on the room board.

Color Quest
Your gem is a color on the wheel. Find three guests whose colors form a triangle: all primaries (red, yellow, blue) or all secondaries (purple, green, orange). Hint: what three hues sit evenly across the color wheel? Text me their three game IDs.

Order a drink, skip the line
