The Artifact invites participants to stabilize a rift in time and space through interactive glyph-matching puzzles. Up to three players at a time will work together as the environment around them transforms with frost, wormholes, and energy pulses. The experience culminates in a glowing loot box with exclusive prizes, including Alienware gaming gear. For solo adventurers, the challenge is even greater as they juggle all consoles themselves.

The week concludes with a multi-stream finale on Halloween, where creators and their fans will compete in a high-stakes showdown to restore final balance to the portal.

Prizes include Alienware gaming peripherals, backpacks, and a grand prizei of 4x custom Alienware Area-51 Gaming Desktops valued at ~$5,000 each. Every participant, whether on-site or online, has a chance to win.ii
