In 2023, they created the Coolmath Games Alternate Reality Game (ARG): a 2-week interactive experience that included a mysterious story told through social media posts, unique puzzles to decipher on the website, and an original game to play for Halloween called 20xx_@3!1#3@2#2!1#3_v4.zip. The ARG was praised for its creativity and was featured in a video by the popular YouTube channel The Game Theorists!
Antonia produced original games for the site that have a focus on storytelling and innovative gameplay, such as Coolmath Games: The Game and Escape From Castle Claymount. They're currently producing TRACE: Definitive Edition, a remaster of the beloved escape room game exclusively for Steam!
