Tapas Treasure Hunt: A Community Game

[Liv45]

Here are the new doors:

1. The Celestial Gate
   A tall, arched door crafted from translucent glass that shimmers like morning dew. Clouds drift lazily across its surface, and soft rays of golden light spill through its edges. When opened, a gentle breeze carries the scent of fresh rain and distant thunder, as if the sky itself is welcoming you home.

2. Skyline Entry
   This sleek, sky-themed door features a gradient of pale blue to deep indigo, mimicking the transition from day to night. Subtle LED lighting outlines the frame like a glowing horizon. Embedded panels display slow-moving clouds, turning your entrance into a living sky.

3. Door to the Heavens
   Floating a few inches above the ground, this door appears weightless. Its surface is a mirror of the sky above—day or night—complete with stars, storms, or sunsets. When touched, it hums softly, like distant wind in high altitudes. Stepping through feels like walking into a dream.

TYSM!!!!! I'll have the next doors ready soon!

[shriraa.sha]

Here are the next doors!

1) Door of Reflection

You stood entranced as you gazed at the door in front of you- at least- supposedly a door. Rather than the generic oak and timber with brass knobs you expected, instead, you now lay facing yourself. The door reflected every detail and movement like an eerie clone. You hesitantly brushed your fingers across the icy surface, it reminded you of glass.

2)Door of Time

Flashed of warped images and muffled sounds emanated from the 'door' in the wall. From the rectangular shape, glimpses of eras and people were illustrated in seconds and gone the next. However, that was not your concern at current- it was opening the door. As the videos flashed across the door, the silver knob changed locations simultaneously. Gradually, you could feel nausea simmering as your eyes became blinded from the blend of colours as you tried to keep track of the knob. This is going to be spectacular.

3) Door of Terror

No-nononono- Primal panic consumed your thoughts as chills raced across your spine. It was supposed to be an ordinary door, not this. Fooled by the naive appearance, you- the amateur explorer, dared to grace your fingertips across the knob- a decision you have come to regret. Unholy shrieks and maniacal laughter flooded your senses, rendering you vulnerable as you stood like a statue. Throughout your episode, you vaguely register the taste of copper brewing on your tongue as a cacophony of screeches continued once more. You could let go now of course...but your greed coaxed you through the storm. After all, no pain, no gain.

[Aero]

Your mind feels like shattered glass—fragments of your life scattered in the dark, pieces missing entirely. You know something precious has been taken from you: faces you loved, choices you made, and truths about who you really are. Without these memories, you’re adrift, a stranger in your own life. Choosing the right door is your only chance to stitch yourself back together and reclaim the story that was stolen from you.

1. The Door of Reflections

A tall silver door ripples like water, showing faint images of your past, but every time you focus on one, it melts away into fog. A soft lullaby hums from beyond, pulling you closer with false familiarity.

2. The Door of Whispers

Twisted vines and blackened roses wrap around this wooden door, whispering names and secrets you almost remember but can’t quite place. The whispers grow frantic the closer you get, drowning out your thoughts.

3. The Door of Echoes

The cracked marble door glows faintly, and when you place your hand on it, you hear your own voice calling your name from the other side. The air feels heavy but warm, as if inviting you to step through and reclaim what was lost.

[Liv45]

I`ll go with number two! I want to now the secrets

[se1ra8ph]

I'll go with number 1

[forscher22]

I'll go with two on this one!

[Aero]

I think you mean #3, since 2 was taken which honestly works out because...

1. Door of Reflections:

The glimmering surface promises comfort, offering glimpses of joyful moments you ache to feel again. You step through, and you feel like you could live forever in the warmth of nostalgia, but is it real? This joy and nostalgia, however, were never yours to begin with, and this quickly becomes apparent the longer you stay within the space beyond the door. It's too late to regret your choice now...

2. Door of Whispers:

The voices beyond this door sound like friends and family calling you home. Their gentle promises pull at your heart, urging you to come closer and finally find peace.You open the door and become trapped in false memories that were never yours. Despite that fact, you find these memories to be quite...heartwarming. However, it will never make you feel like you've returned to being your true self.

3. Door of Echoes:

The soft hum behind this cracked marble door feels heavy, yet warm, carrying your own voice calling your name. Beyond it lies the truth—raw, unfiltered, and potentially even real. Was it a good idea to trust in it? You open the door and immediately collapse unconscious to the ground. You wake up to find yourself surrounded by friends and family in a hospital bed. You've woken up from a 5 year coma, tears streaming down your face as you whisper, "I'm home."

You just won some likes and comments on your story, @forscher22 !
