The Monster’s Bride (In A Box!) – New for 2026

The Monster’s Bride (In a Box!) Inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the game revisits a long-buried love story with a twist. Two hundred years ago, Victor Frankenstein’s creation made a heartfelt request: a mate. Victor reluctantly agreed, but not without conditions. To earn his Bride, the Creature was set a formidable challenge: a series of intricate tests designed to prove intelligence, resilience and worthiness.

The experiment succeeded. A Bride was created, but the challenge was lost to time - until now.

Recently unearthed, this forgotten trial returns, inviting modern-day players to work together, solve fiendish puzzles, unlock secrets and demonstrate their ingenuity under pressure. Only those who communicate, collaborate and keep their cool will succeed.
