The first game in the Glee‑fully Arcade
The Toolbox has a game room now. This is the first cabinet.
Joey and Phoebe lead the Chai Chase through a Pacific-Northwest night sky full of keepsakes, treats, and fireflies. Zero real money. Zero accounts. Just sparkle.
Five reels, four rows, 40 fixed paylines. Winning symbols beam up and new ones tumble down. Chain six cascades in a single spin and the Firefly Cascade meter fills, opening free spins.
Land treats to stock the Treat Jar. Phoebe will assist for absolutely any snack. Joey holds out for his Bougie Bites, because he is a gentleman of standards.
The cats personally host the free-spin wheel. Three live paths: We're Multiplying, Moonlit Keepsake Trail, or Iced Chai Wild Rain. Spin it and see what the household decides.
A 30-second pump scene: load the cup with 12 pumps of flavor. Each completed cup awards 3 free spins. It's a whole thing, and it's wonderful.
Someone's at the door, and the cats have opinions. A matching pair opens a cat-powered free-spin bonus of 3 to 6 spins, with Joey and Phoebe landing as wilds.
A rare rainbow butterfly that launches a five-act free-spin marathon. If you see it, you are legally required to tell someone.
Five reels, four rows, 40 fixed paylines. Cascades clear winning symbols and drop new ones until the board settles, then the next spin begins.
A rotating iced-chai ingredient almanac that sits beneath the board. Tap any entry to expand it into a side panel on wide screens.
Glee-coins, bet level, Sparks, Treat Jar, the Firefly Cascade meter, music and SFX volume, theme, and reduced motion are all saved locally. Reset any time. Nothing leaves your device.
Chai Chasers uses fictional Glee-coins only. There is no real money anywhere in it: no purchases, no wagering, no ads, no accounts, and no cash-out. All shipped art, sound, names, and game presentation are original. The balance politely refills itself if it ever runs low. Google Analytics collects limited aggregate data to measure reach only. It does not track gameplay, accounts, advertising, or personalization. Not affiliated with any casino, game studio, or brand.
It was built as a birthday gift for Glee herself: every symbol, sound, and sparkle was chosen for one very specific player. You're invited anyway.
Chai Chasers was created and directed by Jamie, working with clearly scoped AI collaborators, shared canon, and tests. The full build story, decision log, and engineering trail are public in the GitHub repo. The engineering deep-dive lives on our sibling site: the OverKill Hill P³ project page.
The game was built as a Designathon entry. The artifacts are live and public:
Built for the person who taught this whole toolbox how to sparkle. Happy birthday, Glee. 🦋
