Open House

**Open House!** is the second camp to be hosted from Chromium Chronicles. It contained only 1 season, called "Open House: Closed Doors" which went from January 8th, 2023 to March 31st, 2023.

Everyone, come in... You only get one chance! Give your best efforts and show the president of Chrome Nation what you've got to see if he thinks you can take his place.

## General Summary

At a predetermined time during his presidency, Chrome Nation president Mosaic invites 20 promising enthusiasts into his manor to put them to the test - that being trials to decide if they're future president material. With the help of vice president, Stetson, and well-known entrepreneur Big Brother, an array of engaging yet helpful challenges are placed upon the competitors as they try their best to get an edge over each other in the race towards the end.

Though Mosaic would only take one noteworthy candidate in the end, much more information came to the contestants' attention than that presented by the organizers of the event. One reason for such was the entrance of young scientist Crungus, whose initial appearance was arbitrary but would later prove to have ulterior motives to working in the manor. The final two contestants were taken to the Presidential Expo, a formal precursor to the real election where Mosaic finally made his choice between the last candidates.

## Story Impact

Being much more plot-intensive than The Labyrinth, much more information regarding Chrome Nation and its customs are provided by Open House. Firstly, although The Labyrinth established a president-based hierarchy, this camp explains into more detail an election system and a customary "Open House" held during each president's reign - along with the fact that presidents are pre-determined and change upon the current one's death or resignation. Also offering an insight into the eventual prominent characters Crungus and Chrome, the fact is introduced that Chromium natives can reasonably live for upwards of a century and remain active. Due to its short length, Open House doesn't explore many more possibilities within these parameters, but it's shown that magic isn't exclusive to The Labyrinth.

Finally, some major points about Chrome Nation's history are mentioned as follows: It hits its 750th year since establishment during the season, and there is a guest book located within the Presidential Manor containing signatures from every president (at least) up until Mosaic, who signs it himself. Additionally, archives containing historical documents and other items of significance sits in a basement under the manor.

## Open House Winners

*As Open House had only one winner during its duration, there is no category allocated to this feat.*

## Trivia

* Not having much correlation to themes present within The Labyrinth, much of Open House was themed around late 1800s-early 1900s technology and culture.
* In reality, an "open house" is typically an event where a newly or specially significant location is opened to the public.
* An official yet outdated flag of Chrome Nation is shown during Open House, showing an outline of Mosaic's body.
* Only having a single season, Open House is the shortest camp within Chromium Chronicles.
