[UPDATED]What Is Project Riboflavin?

An enigmatic video has been posted teasing something called “Project Riboflavin” releasing Halloween 2016. The video features a still image of some sort of witch looking down on a spooky mansion, and ends with logos for Avalon Hill, Lone Shark Games, and Wizards of the Coast. (thanks to Carl for this scoop). It features a remarkable list of game designers and others along the left side of the image.

A link to the video was tweeted by Mikey Neumann, and retweeted or replied to enigmatically by several of the people whose names appear on the list.


Early speculation is that it is a new project related to Betrayal at House on the Hill, which was designed by Bruce Glassco and published by Avalon Hill. (Riboflavin is also know as Vitamin B2.)

Including... a roof! Because until now, the house had no roof, and we wouldn't want players to get wet when it rains? :p

Lot of speculation that it's a board game or something to do with MtG going on here, but why would you bring in Keith Baker and Rodney Thompson in to work on a board game? Doesn't add up.

Maybe it's something cross-media.

I crit!
Gloom and Lords of Water deep come to mind.

They are game designers, good ones, both working now in the computer games industry one one way or another.
