NQR Labs

NQR Labs is the creative workspace of a puzzle designer, ARG creator, and mystery engineer who lives for the thrill of hidden layers and encoded stories.

Creative Philosophy

Every puzzle should feel like discovering a real rabbit hole hidden in plain sight. The best mysteries respect the solver's intelligence while rewarding persistence, lateral thinking, and collaboration.

Community

These tools are built for the CLU community—a collective of puzzle enthusiasts, ARG hunters, and cipher breakers who believe that the best challenges are solved together.

What makes an ARG

An Alternate Reality Game (ARG) is essentially puzzle-driven interactive unfiction. These experiences are at their best when a community forms around them - sharing discoveries, solving puzzles collaboratively, and uncovering hidden narratives together.

The CLU community thrives on this collective spirit, bringing together both players and creators in a shared creative space. Here, ARG creators can test new ideas, gather live feedback, and refine their worlds, while solvers work side by side with them to unravel mysteries and shape stories as they unfold. Whether the puzzles emerge from within our own ranks or from ARGs found out in the wider web, the hunt is always open, and collaboration is always encouraged.

Welcome

Think of NQR Labs as a playground for creative exploration - a space where curiosity leads the way. Whether you're experimenting with new tools, diving into interactive stories, or learning how digital puzzles come together, you're in good company here.

Collaboration

The most interesting discoveries happen when people share what they find. Discuss ideas, trade insights, and build on each other's work. This is a community for explorers, makers, and storytellers alike - and you're invited to take part in shaping it.

Learning & Experimentation

Many of the projects here are works in progress - experiments in storytelling, design, and interaction. Don't be afraid to click around, test things, or remix ideas. It's all part of the process. Every app is on NQRLabs' GitHub published under the MIT license, which means you can use them in your own projects and ARGs. If you use an app, I'd love to hear about it.
