Halloween at the Portal. The Hollow, a haunted cipher maze, is free to play until 2 November. Enter The Hollow

๐Ÿงญ This chain is also a 3D maze

The Frostbound Signal is this same chain as a place you walk through. Each stage is a terminal beside a locked gate, and solving it opens the gate. The maze also hides data fragments with a bonus message you can only get there.

Your progress and score are the same either way, so you can start in one and finish in the other. If you want the maze to be a surprise, start there.

๐Ÿ“œ Briefing
A remote weather beacon went silent on the mountain last winter, and tonight it woke up. Its screen shows only a tangled map of ice corridors, with three gates marked and a single line of text pulsing under each one.

You have come to follow the signal on foot. Snow keeps falling, the pines creak overhead, and every message you find will tell you how to reach the next gate before the storm seals the maze for good.
  1. 1 Gate One - The Crooked Crossroads
  2. 2 Gate Two - The Glassy Bend ๐Ÿ”’ opens with stage 1's answer
  3. 3 Gate Three - The Scarf Gate ๐Ÿ”’ opens with stage 2's answer
