Lo Howlers,

Welcome to Operation Hazard Bedlam 4.0.

In addition to our usual absurdly epic prizes, the game this year

will be revealing Pierce Brown’s newest project…

Can you complete a full image and be the first to find out what’s coming next in the Red Rising Universe?

This year's Hazard Bedlam will reveal the cover, story and artwork of Pierce Brown's newest Red Rising project, which will be released September 17th of this year on www.shit-escalates.com following the live-stream launch event. Each gamepiece is 1 of 24 randomized, 2x2inch tiles that together create one of the 3 images above. 

In addition to being a clue to Pierce’s secret project, each gamepiece purchased is a possible winner. Simply flip your tile over and check the reverse to see if you’ve won one of our absurd prizes.

Work alone or with fellow Howlers to be the first to piece together the complete image and find out what's coming next in the Red Rising world!

Hazard Bedlam is broken into two overlapping but separate parts, followed by a live streamed event celebrating all things Red Rising including a special reveal from Pierce Brown himself.

STAGE 01 // The Big Tease

August 15 - Sept 5, 2025

(Hint… Red God isn’t the end of the Red Rising Universe.)

Purchase as many gamepieces as you’d like during the purchase window for a chance to win instant prizes or be the first Howler to assemble a full image and figure out what the hell is going on.
