About the game
At midnight, a very unusual auction house opens its doors. On sale tonight: a mirror that shows the future, a haunted pocket watch, a potion of questionable origin, a cursed diamond and a book of forbidden spells.
Every team starts with 1,000 gold coins. Each object has a hidden value, a special power or an unfortunate side effect, and nobody knows exactly which until the hammer falls.
What you buy follows you through the rest of the game. Some objects will help you in later challenges, others will sabotage you, and a few can be traded or turned against your rivals. Bid boldly, negotiate wisely and try not to end up cursed.
What to expect
- Live auctions where teams bid against each other in real time
- Mysterious objects with hidden powers and nasty surprises
- Challenges where your purchases help or hinder you
- Trading and negotiation between teams
- A host who plays the auctioneer with plenty of mischief

Questions
Do we need to be good at strategy games?
Not at all. Gut instinct and a bit of nerve work just as well as careful planning.
How does a hosted virtual game work?
Everyone joins your usual video call. We split the group into teams of up to 10, each in its own breakout room with a dedicated host who shares the game on screen and types in the answers the team agrees on. A live leaderboard keeps the competition going.
How far ahead do we need to book?
At least 48 hours ahead, Monday to Friday. Same-day sessions are sometimes possible on request: book as usual and we will confirm as quickly as we can.
Is there a minimum or maximum group size?
There is no maximum. The minimum booking is £150 + VAT, so groups under 13 people pay the minimum.
