The Lair

Build a Lair that brews while you sleep: stir, build, Ascend, and fill the Grand Vintage. It's the only game where playing itself mints new NFTs: every Grand Vintage you brew becomes a brand-new potion.

How it works

Play. Win. Burn. Grow.

One collection and a whole arcade of games. Everything you do in one game feeds the others.

I

Play free

Every game is free in your browser. One of them is the Daily Brew each day, and #1 wins a potion.

II

Win potions

The best players win the right to mint new potions straight from the contract, like a Grand Vintage. Skill is all it takes.

III

Burn for power

Burn three potions in the Crucible and a Homunculus climbs out. Feed it to grow it. Every burn makes the rest rarer.

IV

Hold the edge

Every Homunculus has a power in every game, once a round. Higher tiers and grown ones hit harder.

    The Kindling

    Hold a potion? Open the Lair with your wallet before 8 Oct, 12:00 UTC and you're in the draw for a Grand Vintage and five more potions.

    Open the Lair
    Homunculi

    Three potions in. Something alive comes out.

    Burn three identical potions and a Homunculus climbs out of the Crucible. Feed it potions of its own school and it grows, all the way to Ascended. In the Arcade it gives you a power in every game.

    Three of a kind

    An Ascended Crimson Homunculus
    Stage III

    Ascended

    Wings, a halo of runes, and ×4 its bonus. The rarest thing a player can make.

    +160%

    Lair bonuses shown for a Tier IV Crimson. Burned and fed potions are gone for good, so every one makes the rest rarer, and earns you Embers.

    Its power in every game

    Bring a Homunculus into a run and it uses its school's power once. Grown and Ascended ones hit harder, and a higher tier wins you bigger prizes. In Cauldron Merge:

    Ah, a new face in the Lair. Mind the cauldron; it bites.

    Six tiers of potion

    Hold a potion and it strengthens your Lair. The higher the tier, the rarer the roll — and the bigger the bonus.

    Six tiers. The first four you'll brew yourself, given patience.
