“The Curse of Cthulhu”
These past six months, the first four chapters of “The Curse of Cthulhu” have unfolded in “A Scream of Ice and Fire,” “The Compasses of Columbus,” “Whispers in the Dark,” and “The Unknown Dreams of Ruby Carter.” Each chapter brought clues to be deciphered to find the codes that will unlock the first clues of the final chapter, the endgame of the story that will be played out from May 30th to June 1st at the convention.
Below are four (of eight) Lovecraftian monsters for which the clues potentially spell out their name as a secret password to clues that will be hidden around the Exposition hotel. We will share the next four monsters next weekend.
Each year there is a mystery to be solved at the Exposition as part of our Steam & Sorcery LARP Game; this time around it began with a fire . . . from ice? Every week between now and the end of May 2025, we shall release another Clue Card to help you solve the mystery game that begins during Opening Ceremonies on Friday, May 30th, 2025.
Save these Clue Cards to a folder on your phone and prepare your investigation into our “Curse of Cthulhu” LARP Game.
