Meet The Mapmaker

HarborQuest is meant to be a day of exploration, teamwork, and discovery. The Mapmaker has a different idea. By taking control of Cobalt Harbor’s old emergency-navigation system, he turns the festival into a real-world maze.

Tunnels, rooftops, docks, and maintenance halls become pieces of his hidden level. Signs change, routes close, and familiar maps can no longer be trusted. His challenge is built around a dangerous belief: whoever controls the map controls everyone following it.

Behind a mask and a deep teal coat traced with brass map lines is a calculating planner. He uses technology, carefully arranged clues, and misdirection to keep the festival teams guessing. Discover his maze in The Hidden Level, an upcoming adventure in the Ninja Kid universe.
