Scenarios by theme:
COLIBRI-FOUDRE (NIFFF exclusive)
From Shadows to Light (Colibri-Foudre, 2h–3h, ages 16+, 4 players)
You are the crew of the mysterious Black Vessel. Your mission: steal a very special map from an unimpressive pirate. This theft launches you into a chase across the Confins, a realm of dreams and nightmares where anything becomes possible. From shady taverns to haunted ruins and fragile paradises—will you find your way from the Shadows to the Light?
An adventure set in the universe of Like a Colibri-Foudre by Magali Bossi.
EXISTENTIAL DREAD
Shadows Beneath the Big Top (Mouse Ritter, 1h30–2h, ages 8+, 5 players)
As the Montrepos Carnival fades away, puppets without strings and a haunted shadow theatre continue to perform in the deserted ruins. Sent by their colony to gather resources, the mice will find that some tales of giants refuse to end...
SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT
Three Days of Peace, Music, and Tentacular Love (Cthulhu, 3h, ages 14+, 5 players)
Dive into Woodstock, 1969, where love and rock 'n' roll meet black magic that could turn the world's greatest party into pure horror.
Drain You (Cthulhu, 3h, ages 16+, 5 players)
Children are disappearing in Bango, ME—many children. No one knows anything, no one saw a thing, but all clues point to the university campus. Conveniently, tonight the Fraternity is throwing the party of the century.
WALLACE & GROMIT
The Crèminels (Star Wars, 2h, ages 8+, 5 players)
In a world made of claymation characters, cows are vanishing. Play as a beloved figure from the Aardman universe to solve the mystery!
