Foiled by the Food Court

A theatrical TTRPG of sabotage, surreal nostalgia, and the weirdest summer shift of your life.

It’s 1974.
The smoothies are cursed.
The janitors are planning a coup.
And a man named Mr. Flex wants to turn your food court into a storage unit.

Welcome to Grand View Mall, where polyester uniforms meet paranormal capitalism.
Foiled by the Food Court is a narrative-first, cinematic mystery TTRPG for 3–6 players and 1 GM, built for emotional immersion, comedic chaos, and mallcore aesthetics.

You’ll play as the Mall Mayhem Patrol—fry cooks, smoothie mystics, ex-pop stars and food court veterans banding together to stop a corporate memory erasure. Over five increasingly bizarre and heartfelt scenes, you’ll investigate strange clues, perform ritual flashbacks, battle rogue factions of stroller moms and mall walkers, and decide once and for all:

Is the mall just a building?
Or is it a memory that still remembers you?
