🪦 Greetings from Augusta! 🪦

We’ve done more digging, and we’ve identified our mysterious “A. L.” as none other than Augusta Lockwood! Notes indicate that Augusta was the member of an organization called “B.O.O.”. It seems one set of mysterious initials wasn’t enough...

We have it on good authority that a new member of the Lockwood family - the mysterious “A. L.” - will be present at the Hand Eye Society Ball on November 1. Not much is known about her yet, but we found this photograph inside an envelope covered in odd sigils.

What do you think A. L. stands for?

A badly damaged photo of a Victorian woman. Her face is obscured and "AL" is written in the upper corner.

Get ready for RAVE IN PEACE, our immersive quest created for this year’s @thehandeyesociety.bsky.social Ball!

All is not quiet this Halloweekend: ghosts have risen from their graves to terrorize the Society! Are you ready to explore the occult and quiet these spirits so everyone can RAVE IN PEACE?

🦋 How about some expedition reports? 🦋

We think THE HUNT FOR THE BRIGHTWING BUTTERFLY is great - but don’t take our word for it! See what some of last year’s players had to say!

It's a great date idea!
100% recommend!
Great example of an outdoor escape room!
We had an awesome time solving unique puzzles!

What awaits you when you visit FLUX? Read on to learn more about Toronto’s hottest cyberpunk experience. Tickets are available now via the Lockwood Immersive site for a limited engagement at See-Scape. Don't miss out.

Cyberpunk graphic reading "What is FLUX"

Cyberpunk graphic reading: Step into a living, breathing, cyberpunk world when you pass through the doors of FLUX. Set in Sector T-0 in the year 2125, FLUX is an unassuming bar where small time criminals gather in the hopes of making a quick score. Times are tough, corps rule the world, and sometimes making rent means getting your hands a little dirty.

You’ve been invited by your contact, Lennox Lockwood, to head to FLUX and take on a job. It won’t be easy, and it certainly won’t be legal. If you want to succeed, you’ll need courage, brains, and a little bit of luck.

Cyberpunk graphic: Beyond the missions, the world of FLUX is yours to explore. Unlike an escape room, you set the pace during your visit to FLUX. Grab a drink between missions, chat up the crooked patrons, or set a high score at the arcade.

With intrigue around every corner and surprises in store, FLUX promises an evening you won’t soon forget. There’s only one question: can you hack it?

We're very grateful to the hundreds of puzzlers who took on our POACHED EGGS puzzlehunt this weekend at #PAXU. Meeting, hinting, and chatting with you all made for an incredible convention experience.

Didn't get a chance to play? POACHED EGGS will be available as a print-and-play experience soon!

It's the last day of #PAXU, and your final chance to rescue the POACHED EGGS! If you've been solving already, feel free to visit us at room 118C for helpful hints, or to get your own copy. Can you crack the case before time runs out?
