Difficulty: 3/5 - Deployed by the Agency after a whistleblower tip, your team must infiltrate Professor Crawley’s secret lab and shutdown the Chimera strain before it is released into the wild!

Team Size Standard Format: 2 – 7 Players (we recommend 4 or more players)
Team Size Duel Format: 8 – 14 Players (groups will be split into two teams, i.e. 8 players will be 4 v 4 … 14 players will be 7 v 7, etc.).
For years, Professor Crawley was a celebrated pioneer in genetic research, dedicated to saving endangered species from extinction. But his obsession took a dark turn. Driven by the belief that nature could be “improved,” he began secretly splicing the DNA of apex predators and exotic wildlife. His experiments yielded something that was never meant to exist: Project Chimera – a synthetic hybrid strain capable of re-engineering living organisms.
When this work was discovered, Professor Crawley was condemned as “The Mad Scientist” and his lab was stripped and shut down. Or so the world believed.
The Global Wildlife Protection Agency has just intercepted an anonymous distress signal from deep inside Crawley’s supposed “abandoned” facility. He has been continuing his research in secret – and he is moments away from unleashing his final unstable compound, which will endanger the world’s wildlife population.
You have been deployed by the Agency to infiltrate The Lab and shutdown Project Chimera before the countdown reaches zero and the compound is released into the wild!
