Deck View: 1ST (Vektek Edition) Playing Cards

Puzzle. Escape. Sci-Fi.

1ST (Vektek Edition) Playing Cards emerged in 2022 as part of a hybrid escape-room experience created by Chris Ramsay. While the interactive puzzle game component is no longer available, this custom deck remains an interesting release tied to Ramsay’s signature blend of magic and mystery.

The playing cards lean into a futuristic cyberpunk aesthetic, with symmetrical, modern back designs and a cool-toned palette reminiscent of sci-fi armor. The tuck box avoids overt branding... Ramsay’s usual logo is replaced with a barcode, reinforcing the tech-driven theme. Inside, the court cards maintain their traditional structure but are recolored to match the deck’s sleek visual identity, creating a cohesive and contemporary look.

Originally designed to integrate directly with the escape-room storyline... where players helped Chris escape from a space shuttle via digital clues and scanned content, the deck now stands on its own as a collectible. 

Even without the puzzle component, it remains a stylish, modern pack that reflects Ramsay’s fascination with puzzles, technology, and cinematic design. Available now on 1st Shop for $12.
