Minigame favorites are now stored on our database, which means you'll be able to see your friends minigame faves even when they're offline! 🤩

We've also added a "Follow" button to your friends' profiles when they are online to, well, follow them. 🧐

To help you recommend buying the game to friends, we've added an extra 🪙15.000 on top of the invite reward of 💎500! This will allow you and your friend to immediately do a case opening or two! 🤩

We've also added a reminder in your friendslist:

⚠️ All previous inviters and invitees will get 🪙15.000 (or more) retroactively on logging into the game.
⚠️ Invite vouchers are only sharable & claimable by Paid players.

Check changelog for full lengthy list of changes. 😵‍💫

We've been wanting to do this for a while, and here goes: Our first official minigame vote! 🤩
Our next development cycle (V0.6.x.x) will focus on the winner of this poll! Choose wisely...

Join the Discord server and check the #polls channel to cast your vote!

Crumble Crisis is spleef/TNT run! While running over ice the ground will dissapear from below you. Try not to fall in the cracks caused by others, and survive the longest to win! 🥶🧊

Royal Rumble is Explosive Exchange & Summit Scramble's baby! One player holds the castle's massive crown, and this person gets points for every second that they're holding it. Steal the crown by walking into them! Imagine an entire lobby running after a single player! 😂👑

Parkour Panic is our first TRUE parkour minigame! Acid will slowly rise inside a cylindrical container, jump up on randomly generated parkour pieces to avoid dissolving in acid! 😨🤢

⚠️ Poll will close 2 hours before our next bi-weekly update! (in 2 weeks)

Stay tuned on all Minigame Madness news, by following us on Steam and joining the Discord community!

Have an epic day! Or an average one. No pressure! 👋🏼

Welcome to the second edition of our community showcase! In this post, we're thrilled to unveil a collection of the finest creations crafted in our workshop. While we previously showcased remarkable pieces, today's spotlight is on a fresh array of outstanding candidates. Get ready to be inspired by the incredible talent within our community!

Let's start with a throwback to the second build challenge.

Winner of the second build challenge:

Congrats to you joostvandenbrand for winning the second build challenge! Your creation contains a lot of custom characters. We didn't know this was even possible but you really managed to create something so unique. These characters are based on the style of East-Brabant/Limburg. For anyone interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_oKwrZH93w&t=862s.

We can see you took what you made before and see that you've taken your previous creation to new heights. It even has a custom horse, wow!

Second place goes to VanPrinsen and it was a close call. The airport theme is truly unique, featuring a detailed airfield and airport. The characters inside the airplanes are particularly impressive.

Kreativling became third with this realistic looking Prince Float. It's based on the in real life Cologne Prinzenwagen, neat!


This user did not upload their creation to the workshop. Honorable mention to B.C De Papagaai with this submission to the build challenge. The motto of this float: "Dn Vloek van de Drie Papagoaie" (The Curse of the Three Parrots).

Let's move to some creations shared outside the build challenge event.

Another stunning creation by Donteatyellowbears. All the moving parts and super colorful lighting make it a solid choice.

Also this float is made by Kreativling. It's the Zugleiterwagen from cologne of 2024! Amazing how floats can be recreated with the available items in-game.

If you want your creation to be listed in the next community post make sure to upload it to the Steam workshop!

A new Steam fan group popped up and it's organizing a Virtual Competition Parade for 2025, akin to Boemeldonck, where participants build their own floats in different categories. The theme for the parade is "Making funny jokes and laughing hard" encouraging you all to showcase your interpretation of this motto. Further details, such as building time, categories, and specific information, are expected to be provided later.

You can join this fan group here! Both Discord & non-Discord users are welcome.

Luckily you don't need to choose between these awesome games because all 3 are available in the Difficult Decisions bundle!

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/38425/Difficult_Decisions/

Prepare yourself for a top-rated trio of immersive narrative-driven dystopian games; 'CorpoNation: The Sorting Process', 'Death and Taxes', and 'Orwell: Keeping an Eye On You'.
Will you turn against your employer? Who will live? Who will die?! Will you supply the information? The decision is yours.
The Difficult Decision bundle offers over 30+ hours of dystopian bliss across three very positively rated indie gems.
Turn on the computer and turn off the light, discover the true meaning of power, morality, and the consequences of your actions.

— Death and Taxes: In this 2D narrative-based game, you assume the role of the Grim Reaper... on an office job. Your job is to decide which people are going to live or die. The consequences of your choices are yours to bear.
— Orwell: Keeping an Eye On You: Big Brother has arrived - and it’s you. Investigate the lives of citizens to find those responsible for a series of terror attacks. Information from the internet, personal communications and private files are all accessible to you. But, be warned, the information you supply will have consequences.
