Hexhall: a crypto casino run by six witches
Book a call, get a price rangeHexhall is a crypto casino built around slots. Six witches each host a house slot in their own room of a gothic manor, and players level up their host and take each other on in Hex Battles. We built it from scratch: the world in Blender, the cast rigged in Rive, the mark, the casino on desktop and phone, a streamer kit, the landing page and the launch.

Ten lobbies, one look
Our players grew up on ranked shooters and group chats, and every casino still looks like a trading app full of slot tiles; we need one that feels like their games.

A manor where every room is a slot
The lobby is a gothic manor under a blood-red moon. Each witch has a room, and her room is her slot. Built and lit in Blender.
Meet The Coven
Six witches, each hosting her own slot, all rigged in Rive. Point at one and she plays her move.
Vesper
Penthouse Hex
Cinder
Wick & Wax
Hollow
Hollow Lantern
Mags
Gold Teeth
Lux & Nyx
Two Faced
Sister Sage
Third Eye
Vesper's hat became the logo
We drew sixteen marks and kept the brim over an eye. It's Vesper's face cut down to two shapes.
An app icon that looks back
It blinks, squashes when you press it and hops when there's news.
Lobby, slot, wallet and limits
The casino around the slots, on desktop and phone. Every worry a new player brings gets its answer on the screen where it comes up.
Penthouse Hex
01The spin. Reels stop left to right, and the last one slows when two cauldrons are in.
02The bonus. Three cauldrons stamp in the Hex Bonus.
03The mega win. Vesper grins and the amount rolls up.
Spin the cauldron
The landing page's slot with the real reel timing.
She deals the reels. She grins when they pay.
Demo credits only.
Withdrawals take days, and the limits are hidden until I try to cash out.
The withdraw sheet shows what you can take out, the fee and when it lands. At a limit, spins stop and withdrawals keep working.
A casino built like a game will keep me playing longer than I meant to.
Every hour, play pauses on one card: time, spins, net and what's left of today's limit. Raising a limit waits 24 hours.
The same flow on a phone
01The lobby: pick your host.
Tap to play, or pick a screen.
Up to four players buy the same bonus
Every bonus win goes into one pot, and the biggest total takes it.
A battle against strangers sounds rigged.
Before you sit, the table shows whose bonus it is, the buy, its RTP and who's already seated.
Overlay, alerts and a battle scoreboard
Slot players watch slots on stream, so streamers get a kit.
A landing page that opens on the hall
Scroll and the camera climbs the cliff, goes through the door and lands in the hall.
The coven off the screen
Posters, a bus shelter, a coach jacket, a chip set, and the brand on X and the App Store.
Blender, Rive and HTML
A 3D kit in Blender, the cast in Rive and the screens in HTML. Move across a turntable to turn it yourself.
The cauldron, pass by pass
Scroll from the mesh to clay, to a matcap, to the Cycles render.

Vesper's rig, live
Press an input and the parts it moves light up.
Idle: breath, a hat tilt a beat after the head, a blink, a glance, three raven head snaps.

The reel timing, live
The first reel stops at 1.30 seconds and each one after it 0.22 seconds later, with a short settle.

Five colours, each with a job, and each witch lights her own room. Pick a colour to see the others on it; each pick copies its hex.
The identity board, as a 10-second film
The slot, the mega win, the coven, the app icon, the cauldron, the chips and the posters.
It loops for LinkedIn and X.
