Wedge's Trial

An endless lockpicking trial

Every lock hides another test.

Face Wedge’s ever-changing chain of chests, chase a richer haul of ore nuggets, and see how long your nerve—and your lockpicks—hold.

Wedge, the keeper of the trial

“A lock tells you everything—if you have the patience to listen.”

— Wedge

The challenge awaits

A new lock behind every lid

No two runs tell quite the same story. Each opened chest leads deeper into an endless trial, where sharper puzzles and a growing ore haul turn every success into an invitation to continue.

An endless descent

There is always another chest—and every one raises the stakes.

Locks that think back

Interlocking mechanisms make each challenge feel deliberate, readable, and distinct.

Ore worth the risk

Build your haul chest by chest and leave a score worthy of the Colony.

Forged by inspiration

Why Wedge’s Trial exists

Wedge’s Trial began as a personal attempt to turn the lockpicking mechanism from Gothic Remake into a focused browser minigame.

It is also influenced by Fingers Challenge, a fan-made lockpicking minigame inspired by Gothic Classic. This project is a tribute to both ideas—and to the Gothic community’s talent for finding new stories inside familiar worlds.

How far into the trial will you go?

The first chest is only the beginning.
