Are the prompts everyone sent in going to be made available, as they were in previous years thanks to the claim system?
Of course - I've put them into a document so people can view them!
Zecret Santa 2025 Prompt List This list is not spoiler-free for any and all of the Zero Escape games. Prompts that were used in the 2025 exc
And that's it!
Thanks to everyone who took part in this year's event, with a little bonus thanks to our pinch hitter artists, as well as everyone who has reblogged people's artwork and commented on people's fics. It's always nice to see how lively the fandom still is!
It was fun running the event by myself this year! I've always enjoyed taking part, and I am very happy I could support things from the other side this time around. If anyone has any thoughts on how the event worked this year, I'll happily read anonymous asks. I know there were some adjustments to make things work on a shorter timeframe, so I'd be interested in hearing any opinions on the format.
I hope you have all enjoyed the explosion of Zero Escape content, and that everyone has had a great start to 2026!

Hello there! I went with your prompt about Clover, Aoi, and Lotus agreeing that Junpei's fashion sense could be improved and restyling him. I wanted to show you the final result: a gyaruo look from Clover, a punk look from Aoi, and a more mature look from Lotus. I hope you like how it came out!

Hi! I hope you had a happy holidays and are doing well. Super duper sorry for the late gift! I loved all of your prompts but Akane predicting Carlos' breakfast choices immediately sparked an idea and thus this comic was born! I messed up on the colors and such (ā Ā“ā ļ¼ā Ļā ļ¼ā ļ½ā ) but I hope you like it :3 Also, the dialogue reads as follows: Akane: Hi Carlos! Junpei: Hey Carlos Carlos: How did you know I wanted pancakes, Akane? Akane: Existing outside of how most people understand time and being linked to the morphogenetic field has casual applications too. Plus, I like seeing the look on your face! <3

Hi!!! When I saw your prompt about putting akane in an elevator with girlsā¦ I kind of jumped and ran with it. There are definitely more timelines out there which we haven't seen for 999, so your prompt teased my brain to think of one. What about the timelines where Junpei doesn't go through door 4 with Aoi and Akane, and doesn't get the bookmark? Akane and Aoi know that they likely won't succeed, and Aoi wouldn't want to keep the bookmark with him, so he gives it to Akane instead. Akane, seeing her brother become depressed as he realizes Akane's fate is sealed and she will die, and seeing Clover driven to madness as she loses her brother, gives Clover the bookmark and tells her not to give up. I'm sorry that I was late, I had Life Events(TM) happening to me, but I hope you like it!!
Hi hello! Wanna ask regarding for those who haven't get their gift yet is it gonna be send to emails like last year afterwards or still to here?
Hello! I believe there's only one person who submitted their gift and hasn't yet received one in return. I've been in contact with the match and the gift should be done by tomorrow. If it's not submitted, there'll be an emergency gift. Either way, the event should be wrapped within the next 48hrs with everyone getting something!

Hi, happy holidays! I really liked the Zero Escape and Umineko crossover prompt. I think they would be friends :) I hope you enjoy!

Hello Beka !! I hope you had a wonderful christmas and new year celebrations ! Thank you for submitting all your amazing prompts to me, I had a hard time choosing since they were all ssoooo gooooood !! But I went with the "Years post-VLR timeline, Dr Klim arrives at Tenmyouji and Quark's home one Christmas eve, perhaps with an apology." one because I'm so weak for Tenmyouji and Quark relationship. But you also caught my interest with old men yaoi (it makes so much sense,, your brain!!) š I was so glad to get you as my zecret santa because I love what you created for the fandom ! (and also for the OTD one) Anyway !! I really hope you'll like my piece and I'm sorry for keeping you waiting so long !! I really wanted to give it my all and makes something I could be proud of to share with you as my gift to you ! Seiir š°

The last prompt, number four, was āPost Second Nonary Game, Clover and Light dress up as Santas to try and sneak away from their bodyguards, so they can go Christmas shopping togetherā.
Why should Clover dress as a boring Santa, when she can dress as a cute Snegurochka (and make Light dress up as Ded Moroz)? So here she is. Also I thought that making a guy sit on a chair by the door wouldnāt be proper, so I gave him his own booth (letās pretend that there actually two bodyguards, but they work in shifts). They are trying to distract their bodyguard with a gift and good wished in broken Russian (with Clover almost blowing their cover in the process). Had he realized who they were? Instantly. Is he happy? Yes. Is he gonna let the children have a bit of fun, but still follow them from a distance? Also yes. Soā¦ a win-win situation!
I also imagine the Field residence as a garish-in-a-tasteful-way, extravagant place. That picture is somewhat a homage to the one and only Funyarinpa, plus I felt like adding some leopard pattern (like Clover has on one of her outfits).I think it suits her and would totally be her style.
Soā¦ there you have it. This yearā¦ wasnāt exactly terrible for me, but absolutely stressful and tiresome for several health-related reasons (which I wonāt dwell on here, but feel free to DM me if youāre interested in hearing me rant about it, lol). I really hope that the next one will be moreā¦ predictable and calm, so to say. This is basically the only three full pictures I drew this year, so I hope theyāre at least somewhat decent. This is also my 7th year of Zecret Santa, and this makes me really happy, to have this silly little fandom and this wholesome event as something constant in my life, that I can look forward to. I wish everyone Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Holidays! May the next year be your best one yet! And here to another year of this crazy fandom! Thanks for hosting this event and having me on board!
Love you all, Juricha.

I skipped prompt 2, and then drew the third prompt, which was āPre First Nonary Game, Aoi gives Akane a present whilst walking down a street on Christmas day. Unbeknownst to anyone involved, they pass Clover and Light walking the opposite direction, Clover gifting Light a presentā. I couldnāt for the life of me figure out how to show the two pairs of siblings without having to draw two separate pictures, until I came across the Japanese embankment streets with the bridge going over a road and a river. I still had to improvise, because I couldnāt find an exact view of whatever I had in my head, so in the end this pieceās turned into metaphorical one (because, you know, this series and metaphors go hand in hand.). Here, two pairs of siblings who care for each other deeply cross each otherās paths, sensing a faint connection. The Fields are much better off ā full family, pretty wealthy, they would be looked for. Their path is brighter, framed by hope, faith, love and luck. The Kurashiki orphans are lonely (Akane is outright an outcast) and donāt have much to their name, they wouldnāt be missed. Their path is gloomy, and there are licks of fire dancing on one thread of fate. We do know they would cross paths at least twice or even thrice since then. But where would their paths lead them? Would they cross again after that? Nobody knows.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, TNT! I ended up doing three out of your five prompts (and kinda sorta referencing another one, soā¦ three and a half? Four?). This was probably the hardest year to think of stories and compositions, but it also felt like a puzzle, so I had a lot of fun figuring them out! Letās go through them in order:
The first prompt was āQuark and Robo Sean compare their experiences with their headgear, and K decides to pitch in with his own experience in the armour (Very silly/lighthearted interaction)ā. Silly and lighthearted is something that Iām always down for, but I had trouble tying the boys together at first. Then I remembered that one line about whatās inside Quarkās helmet, which was snacks. And K, the poor guy, must always be so hungry, yearning for something to chew onā¦ And Sean? We barely know anything about his capabilities, so I thought that in would be fun if he can body double as a projector/smart device. So after that little chat they decided to get the key to Kās armour from Dio and use him as a makeshift Christmas tree along the way (which is a reference to prompt 5, āSean, Quark and Clover all decorate Dio like he's a Christmas tree, while Dio is glowering but tolerating itā). Clover had a lot of fun (and kept giving Dio the āIām gonna strangle you MF if you try anything funnyā look) tying him up, I think. And then she went to prepare the feast with the other girls and the guys huddled on the couch (using Kās robe as a blanket) and watched some old cartoons. They gave Sean a cup as well so he wouldnāt feel left out (he gave it to Dio). And they also sometimes stuff a couple of chips into him to keep him silent. And before you ask ā thatās Kās cup on Quarkās head, since itās easier to reach. What do you think theyāre watching?

Hello! This is my first ZEcret Santa! I worked on the prompt of what if Aoi and Light were in ZTD! I had a lot of fun designing and trying to come up with a proper piece, but in the end I decided on designs and a promotional material piece. The full piece is meant to convey betrayal and a similar feeling to the fragment - CDQ - Payoff 2!
It was rough for me at first while I was designing these characters in a way that would make sense progression wise with their stories, but in the end I decided to stick to their usual aesthetics, Punk and Ouji respectively. They borrow entirely from their original palettes within their splash art from 999 so they feel familiar, but i placed a spin on it by borrowing a color from the otherās palette.
The thought behind Aoi is that he kept going with investments, and decided to chase after Akane after she stopped communicating from DCOM. Snake replaces Mira within the team dynamic of Q team, and in certain fragments, Iād imagine Aoi is placed within the decision game as a participant. Mira takes more of an actual accomplice role, and Delta watches to make sure things are going well. I liked the thought of there being 12 people instead of the usual 9, so I took the chance to draw them as well. I included the character reference sheet I made, so itās technically two pieces. Hope you enjoy! <:)

Hi, Emi! I hope you're having great holidays! I know you love Dio/Luna. I tried to create a winter-y piece, and that got me thinking: could they experience the changing of seasons (even if artificially) in B. Garden or another facility on the moon? Have they ever experienced the snow, and if so, how would they react? Anyways, I opted for a fluffy and simple piece, with Luna contemplating the falling snowflakes, marveling at their beauty and ephemerality! I hope you like it! Happy Holidays!!

Happy Holidays Marty! You know I couldn't resist some hongousaki for you. Here's a rare moment of Hongou being shy. Only Nagisa can bring it out! ;D
