Techlandia: a game of smartphones and supernatural horror

Silicon Valley meets Lovecraft in Techlandia, a modern dungeon crawl adventure. You’re a tech blogger who sees something others ignore. So you and your crew infiltrate the high-tech headquarters of the all-powerful Techlandia corporation. Your mission: Stop the launch of a new smartphone that just might destroy the world.

Key Features

• Plays Your Way: Supports full solo play or a cooperative game for up to four players.

• Apartment-Friendly: Fits on a standard table. No massive dining room sprawl required!

• High-Tech Horror: A unique theme that blends tech-culture satire with Lovecraftian mythos.

• Interactive Tech: Features working, scannable QR code cards that are key to solving the mystery.

• Modular & Replayable: Build a new map every time! Each game uses a unique combination of 4 fixed tiles and 4 random tiles (drawn from a pool of 8),  offering a different challenge every time you play.

The Story

You've heard the rumors. Mysterious disappearances, strange incidents, all tied to the multinational conglomerate Techlandia.

Is celebrated CEO Dexter Ward running a tech company or… something else entirely?  

Getting the inside scoop would be a career-making move. Lucky for you, Techlandia’s big product launch is happening tonight.

One small problem: you don’t have an invite. Looks like you’re sneaking in.  

How to Play

Investigate locations on the modular map to collect QR code fragments needed to bypass security in restricted areas. Along the way, you'll encounter Techlandia employees who all seem a little too invested in the company mission.  

There’s no room for error. Every move pushes the Doomsday Clock closer to zero, serving up surprises at the worst possible moments. Can you stop Techlandia's latest phone before something ancient answers the call?
