Introduction
Introduction: The Haunting of Indian River's Iron Hall.. “One wrong rep… and it appears.”“Now, A curse lurks in the shadows. From the mirrors. From the racks. Waiting…” 🕯️ Welcome to Indian River Iron Hall the school's once-famous weight room... now abandoned, whispered about in locker room legends, and sealed off after a series of mysterious accidents. We have found out our Fitness Center: isn’t empty after dark… They say it’s haunted—not by ghosts, but by the bad habits of lifters past: poor form, forgotten safety rules, unsecured weights… the careless choices that turned strength into screams. Today, you and your team have been locked inside, and the only way out is to face the mistakes of those who came before you. Your mission: Solve the puzzles, uncover the safety rules, and escape before the weight of safety mistakes dooms your gains forever. "With the curse of our Iron Hall looming, technique was forgotten. Safety was ignored. And with every reckless move, the curse grew stronger—until it awoke and grew stronger...trapping us inside!
Introduction
"The curse has grown so strong, it has trapped you in a twisted parallel realm—disguised as a haunted house, where reality warps and shadows whisper.""To break the curse and restore Iron Hall, you and your team must navigate the haunted house—shattering its disguise piece by piece to uncover the hidden weight room, and restore it with safe technique, rules, and practices." “While exploring the haunted house, gather inventory—items that could be key to breaking the curse and finding your way out.” “Luck won’t be enough—you’ll need sharp wits and steady strength. The curse watches… Good luck.”
