Boston Made’s arcade is heading south. Mr. B’s Fine Cuts, now free at games.bostonmade.com, is an animated story game set in Cherry Grove, the quiet north end of South Carolina’s Grand Strand.

Mr. B runs a little corner grocery with a red-and-white awning. He hand-cuts the finest meats in town and picks the freshest seafood off the boats every morning, and this summer he needs an apprentice. Players spend five days behind his counter:

1. The New Apprentice. Learn the steak and chop chart.
2. The Shrimp Boats Come In. The seafood case opens: shrimp, flounder, grouper, scallops, crab, lobster and oysters.
3. Pier Party. The Cherry Grove Pier crowd wants steaks for the grill.
4. Hurricane Watch. A storm is coming and the whole town is stocking up.
5. The Big Block Cookout. Friends drive down from Boston for the party of the summer.

Every order teaches something real: where a ribeye, tri-tip or pork belly actually comes from, and how a good butcher weighs a cut. Hit a day’s tip goal and Mr. B hands over a real reward, the code MRBFINECUTS15 for 15% off at the Boston Made Pets shop. The Mr. B art pack is available as an instant download for $4.99.

Mr. B, his grocery and his customers are fictional. Cherry Grove, the Grand Strand and Cherry Grove Pier are very real.

Every Boston Made story needs a hero, and ours has four paws. Today Boston Made launched Find Boston, a free interactive mystery at games.bostonmade.com starring Boston, the curly golden Goldendoodle who has become the face of the Boston Made family.

The case

A friendly “petsitter” from an online ad picks Boston up for an evening walk on Beacon Hill and never brings him back. All that’s left is his blue leash on the cobblestones and a trail of paw prints heading into the city. Players follow that trail through six neighborhoods: Beacon Hill, Boston Common, the North End, Fenway, Copley Square and the Seaport.

• Search every scene for hidden clues: paw prints, dropped treats and the evidence the thief left behind.
• Question witnesses, from a Beacon Hill neighbor to a North End pastry counter.
• Work the detective notebook. Six suspects, and a new culprit every case, so no two games play the same.
• Make the accusation, then race to the waterfront where Boston is hiding.

A real reward for bringing him home

Players who solve the case unlock a real coupon, FINDBOSTON15, good for 15% off at the Boston Made Pets shop (one use per customer through December 31, 2026; excludes sale items and digital art). Fans can also take Boston home as a Find Boston digital art pack for $4.99, with the full artwork and a phone wallpaper.

Find Boston is a work of fiction. The suspects and witnesses are invented; Boston, thankfully, is right here.

For most of its life, Boston Made has been known as a family of brands — a newsroom, a pet company, a web studio, a markets publication. Over the past several weeks, that description has stopped being complete. Across the ecosystem, the company has shipped a connected set of software platforms, and the brands are increasingly the front doors to them.

This is a guide to what has launched, what each product does, and how the pieces connect.

Intelligence: ATLAS, SCOUT and BOSSTOX

The most significant change is at the flagship address. BostonMade.com now runs ATLAS, a paid business-intelligence platform for tracking companies, people, properties, contracts and market activity from a single protected workspace. ATLAS is offered in Individual, Pro and Business plans billed through Stripe, and its workspace stays locked until a subscription is active.

Alongside it sits BOSSTOX, which describes itself as the evidence layer beneath the AI buildout. The platform tracks power, cooling, compute, networking and financing signals, and it separates each stage of a project — contracted, financed, energized, installed and revenue-producing — so that no stage is inferred from an earlier announcement.

Feeding both is SCOUT, the Paxton-Digital collection layer that gathers public filings, company releases, government records and source citations, and surfaces intellectual-property and competitive signals.

Scout collects the evidence. The BOSSTOX graph normalizes it. Reader explains it, and Fenway Web packages it.

Access: the Boston Made App and Keystone

The Boston Made App has become the front door to the whole network: a guided directory of 17 properties across eight categories, the latest wires from this newsroom, and the Boston Made+ membership at $20 a month or $120 a year. Native iOS and Android apps are listed as coming soon.

At the top of the stack, Kingswell Strategic Ventures has introduced Keystone, which bundles SCOUT, ATLAS, BOSSTOX, the Fenway Web Builder, Boston Made Membership and a Keystone-exclusive Realty + Parking Operations Monitor under a single master pass. Keystone is currently available by private briefing, and its access tiers are published as proposed rather than final.

Building and reading: Fenway Web and Reader

Fenway Web has relaunched as a website generator. Visitors describe what they do, choose a direction and a tone, and receive a first draft they can revise, preview on desktop and mobile, and export. Plans start free.

Boston Made Reader collects the latest from every Boston Made site into a single, book-style reading experience, with adjustable type, multiple languages and a free library of founding documents and sacred texts. No login is required to browse.

Consumer marketplaces: Lumo

Lumo.gold has been rebuilt as a consumer-first directory for people selling gold, silver, coins and estate jewelry in the United States and United Kingdom, with an introduction service that connects sellers to vetted local buyers.

The Boston Made Newsroom will cover each of these platforms in more depth as they develop. A live overview of every product is available on the newsroom’s new Software & Technology page.

Boston Made has converted its flagship domain, BostonMade.com, into ATLAS — a private business-intelligence platform the company describes as a way to “turn scattered signals into decisive intelligence.”

The change is deliberate. Where the address once hosted a traditional brand website, it now serves as the public face of a subscription product, with the protected workspace at atlas.bostonmade.com and account sign-in handled at access.bostonmade.com. Boston Made’s editorial archive has moved to its own home, and the wider brand family is presented at BostonMade.io.

What ATLAS does

ATLAS combines discovery, monitoring, relationship mapping and decision support in a single workspace. The platform is organized around three layers:

• Signals — monitor companies, people, properties, contracts and market shifts from one operating view.
• Entity graph — map relationships across organizations, decision-makers, assets, sources and emerging activity.
• Alerts — turn tracked entities into focused alerts, daily briefs and ranked opportunities.

One operating picture for the opportunities that matter.

Plans and pricing

ATLAS is paid-access only. Every plan is billed monthly through Stripe, and the software and its APIs remain locked until a subscription is active.

Where it fits

ATLAS is one of six platforms in Keystone, the master-pass bundle introduced by Kingswell Strategic Ventures, where it serves as the coordination and intelligence workspace alongside SCOUT, BOSSTOX and the Fenway Web Builder.

Kingswell Strategic Ventures has introduced Keystone, a premium software bundle that ties the Boston Made ecosystem’s platforms together under a single “master pass.” Kingswell describes it simply: “The master key to what’s next.”

Keystone is positioned as a connected intelligence and operations layer for operators who run across several fronts at once — markets, property, infrastructure and digital presence.

Six platforms, one pass

Five of the six platforms are already live on their own. The Realty + Parking Operations Monitor is new, and is available only through Keystone.

Six integrated platforms. One master pass.

Access and tiers

Keystone is currently available by invitation and private briefing. Kingswell has published three proposed access levels — Keystone Access, an entry tier; Keystone Command, the full operational stack; and Keystone Sovereign, which adds private briefings and strategic access. The company notes that the tiers are proposed, that billing, single sign-on and automated provisioning are not yet connected, and that access and pricing will be confirmed at launch.

Kingswell also says future expansion of the stack may include acquisitions, partnerships and new platforms as the network grows.

Fenway Web, the web and digital-services arm of Boston Made, has relaunched its homepage as a self-serve website generator. The pitch is short: “Your website starts here.”

Visitors describe what they do, choose what they are building — a business, a portfolio or an event — and set the vibe, from premium to friendly to bold. The generator, powered by ChatGPT, turns that starting point into a first-draft site with a live preview on desktop and mobile.

From blank page to ready to share

Fenway Web frames the process in four steps:

• Prompt — share your offer, your audience and the feeling you want people to leave with.
• Shape — try a different direction, edit the copy, or ask for a bolder first impression.
• Polish — adjust sections, colors and calls to action beside a live preview.
• Launch — download the site, or hand it to Fenway Web for a custom build.

A little direction goes a long way. The builder helps you get unstuck, then keeps the important decisions in your hands.

A workspace, not just a page

The relaunch borrows from the Boston Made App experience, adding a workspace for drafts, analysis, brand sets and live wires, plus a website ROI estimator that models the monthly opportunity from more qualified visits and a stronger conversion path.

The Fenway Web Builder is also one of the six platforms in Kingswell Strategic Ventures’ Keystone stack. Fenway Web continues to offer custom builds for clients who outgrow the generator.

Every brand in the Boston Made portfolio now has a single place to be read. Boston Made Reader collects the latest stories from across the network — including this newsroom — and presents them in a clean, book-like reading experience.

Reader describes itself as a free literacy resource and “the one Boston Made address that will never ask you for payment.” No login is required to browse.

Built to read like a book

The reading experience is adjustable: readers can scale the text, switch themes and choose between serif, sans-serif, Georgia, Courier and system fonts. The interface is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, French and Chinese.

Every brand across the Boston Made portfolio — collected in one place, built to read like a book.

A free library

Beyond network news, Reader hosts a library of founding documents and sacred texts, including the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Magna Carta and the Emancipation Proclamation, along with the complete Bible in six translations, the five books of the Torah and all 114 surahs of the Qur’an.

Lumo.gold has relaunched as a consumer-first directory for people looking to sell gold. The new site’s promise: “Find a gold buyer you can feel good about.”

Visitors can search by location and by what they are selling — jewelry, coins and bullion, watches, silver or estate pieces — and compare local cash-for-gold businesses on the signals that matter, such as credentials, a transparent process and appointment availability.

Clarity before the counter

Lumo pairs the directory with guidance. A three-step approach encourages sellers to compare buyers’ credentials, understand the karat, weight and condition of their items before a conversation, and contact buyers on their own terms.

Fair pricing starts with clarity.

An introduction service

For sellers who are ready, Lumo offers a buyer introduction: describe what you have and where you are, and Lumo will connect you with a vetted local buyer, with no obligation. Any service fee is quoted explicitly and must be accepted by the seller. Lumo is clear that it is a discovery and introduction service — it does not buy or sell gold, provide valuations, or guarantee any offer.

With so many new platforms across the network, Boston Made has made one address the place to start. The Boston Made App — “One ecosystem. Your way in.” — now guides visitors to the right destination based on what they are looking for.

A guided path through 17 properties

The app opens with a simple question: what are you looking for today? Answers — reading news, following markets, building a business, pets and lifestyle, shopping, community — lead to a personalized path through the portfolio. A full directory lists 17 properties across eight categories, from this newsroom and BostonMade.io to Fenway Web, BOSSTOX and Boston Made Pets.

The app also carries the latest wires from the Boston Made Newsroom, so the newest stories are one tap away.

One ecosystem. Many destinations.

Boston Made+

The app is also home to Boston Made+, the network’s membership, at $20 a month or $120 a year, cancel anytime.

Native Boston Made apps for iOS and Android are listed as coming soon.
