About Lantern Cove
Secrets Beneath Lantern Cove is an immersive interactive mystery experience set in the charming, windswept coastal town of Lantern Cove. Our narrative follows seventeen-year-old Elliot Mercer, whose life is turned upside down when the beloved local historian, Professor Alden Hart, vanishes without a trace.
Unlike the town's quiet assumption that the Professor simply left, Elliot, alongside his boyfriend Nico and a close-knit group of friends, embarks on a thrilling journey through the town's forgotten corners. From secret symbols hidden in the cliffs to anonymous messages left in the harbors, we guide you through a decades-old network dedicated to protecting those in need of refuge.
Rooted in heartwarming LGBTQIA+ young adult fiction, our story celebrates found family, gentle romance, and the power of community. We believe that the truth is often hidden not beneath the ground, but within the stories people choose to protect, inviting you to uncover the mysteries that bind us together.
