Haunted Space Hotel — the neon sign, six faction starbursts on a pylon

Check in to a galaxy of haunted hotels.

Six alien Factions. One currency. A galactic order pretending it isn't in trouble. Games for your phone and tablet, free to start on Google Play and the App Store, a board game on the table, a hotel sim on Steam, and a novel on the way. Welcome to the Haunted Space Hotel.

Large Language Murder — six answers to the prompt RABBIT, and a table of players pointing at the AI sitting among them

Now showing · Google Play · App Store

Large Language Murder

Six words each. One answer came from a machine.

One phone goes round the table and everybody answers the same one-word prompt. So does an AI. Then you vote on which answer no person wrote. Being mistaken for the AI pays — catching it pays more, and it pays only you.

Free to play. Pass one phone round the table, or put everybody on their own.
