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 Sodium Alley 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
The district of Lowmarket never sleeps, but after midnight the drones take over. Their searchlights comb the brick alleys while the tube signs hum and the steam rises from the grates. A courier crew has stashed a final message somewhere on the block before the sweep tightened.

You have taken the last job the crew ever posted. Keep to the shadows between the lights, read what the block has left behind, and reach the end before the next drone passes overhead.

  3. 3 Gate Three - Rooftop Control Box ๐Ÿ”’ opens with stage 2's answer
