Imagine this: you are an occult detective, world famous for your ability to solve problems of the supernatural, the paranormal, the metaphysical. You aren't the kind of detective people hire to follow cheating spouses, you're the one they hire to exorcise demons, fight off werewolves, and banish faeries back to the Otherworld. Lately, you've noticed signs there there is something more sinister afoot. Random events have been occurring all over the world, earthquakes in New England, stormless lightning strikes in Prague, a rash of suicides amongst the artisans of London. What is going on? The more you investigate, the more you realize something very, very bad is about to happen...
There are cults all over the world, cults whose sole reason to exist is to bring about the end, to bring their eldritch masters screaming into the world and bring about an age of annihilation even John of Patmos could not foresee. But what cult is acting? And where are they conducting their ritual? And what horrifying book are they using to attempt to end the world? Find out quickly, or life as we know it is about to become very, very different.

How it Works
1. Investigate possible cult activity using one of the options from each category above
2. To win the round, you must correctly select the cult, the ritual site, and the eldritch tome
3. Anyone can join at anytime
4. You may select the same combination as another player
5. The genre savvy might have a leg up, so read up on your creepy lore
6. Important! With each round of incorrect answers, the world gets a little more dangerous, randomly I'll assign a prompt for an investigator to play out in their next post, if no one finds the correct combination in 8 rounds, the cult summons their master upon a hapless world, ending the game
