They create games:
- Immersive games like Spellbound where your character moves through virtual scenes looking for clues to achieve a goal. Mad Pea's Ghost Town, free to play, is a good introduction to gameplay as you use your camera controls to hunt down the ghosts of murdered residents to free them from their earthly bonds.
- "Escape Room" games that have a smaller landscape where your time is limited
- Boxed games that contain stories and puzzles
- Hunts where players compete to collect objects like misfit cupids to win prizes
- Social games you play in company
MadPea has two isolated regions - part amusement park and part main store.
The amusement park, MadWorld, has become part of the main Made area. Part of it is bright pastel colors with a traditional ferris wheel, teacup ride, bumper cars, and shooting galleries. There are unicorns and rainbows. The other side of the amusement park is dark and dingy with derelict buildings and things like The Witch Hunter. I prefer the dark side.
The store is in the same region.
Mad pea used to produce Gacha games that contained a story that could be solved by collecting the right pieces of the puzzle. They no longer sell gachas, and former gachas are being sold in complete sets.
I am always amazed by the variety, ingenuity, and quality of their items. They are also generous in giving prizes for completing games or contests.
MadPea also has a social element. Members discuss the games, and a million other things, in chat.
Wonderful post! I knew of MadPea but usually, I don't tend toward as creepy as most of their stories are. Spellbound caught my attention for the magic aspect. Just recently, I tried my hand at the less expensive hud games (Silver Moon and Rising of the Witch), both solved, immersed myself in the Spellbound game and now considering trying the older games. The creativity behind the MadPea World is truly beyond belief. It's a whole new world in the world of SL!
