Skull Games is a Monument, Colorado anti-trafficking and child-exploitation nonprofit that publicly presents itself as a veteran-founded law-enforcement-support OSINT organization, emerged from earlier ATP-linked operations around Jeff Tiegs and Victor Marx, and later expanded into separate partner coalitions after becoming independent in 2023.
In the current corpus, Skull Games matters less as a conventional charity and more as an operational brand sitting at the intersection of trauma-ministry rhetoric, law-enforcement support, volunteer intelligence work, and anti-trafficking politics. Official site material says it provides analytical and operational support through law-enforcement agencies, uses OSINT to identify predators and victims, and trains or mobilizes a nationwide task force. Nonprofit records confirm it is a real Colorado 501(c)(3) with a current Monument address and an IRS ruling date in 2023.
The deeper significance for the Victor Marx slice is historical and institutional. The strongest current source stack does not support saying Skull Games is still part of All Things Possible Ministries. It does support saying the operation grew out of the ATP / Victor Marx anti-trafficking ecosystem and the work of Jeff Tiegs, then became a separate nonprofit in 2023. ATP's current PCI Task Force page also shows that ATP retained a distinct law-enforcement-support child-exploitation lane after the split.

- Jeff Tiegs: Tiegs is the clearest operational bridge between ATP's earlier counter-trafficking work and Skull Games as an independent organization. He is the current public founder and executive director.
- Victor Marx: Marx is not shown in current official Skull Games governance, but the current repo supports a strong historical relationship because Skull Games emerged from the ATP / Victor Marx counter-trafficking ecosystem and because removed or earlier-source layers connect Marx and Tiegs directly to the operation's ATP-era phase.
- All Things Possible Ministries: ATP appears to have been the original institutional home or umbrella for early Skull Games activity. ATP later retained its own separate
PCI Task Force after Skull Games spun out.

- The current repo supports the ATP-to-Skull-Games lineage, but it still does not fully resolve the exact organizational break mechanics, board transition, or whether May or June
2023 is the cleaner public separation date.
- The current repo does not yet preserve a linked public
IRS Letter or Financials document from the current Skull Games resources page.
- The current repo preserves self-reported arrest and victim metrics, but it does not yet preserve a law-enforcement or court-record audit trail for those totals.
- The current repo preserves strong reporting on surveillance tooling and methodology disputes, but not the underlying training packets or vendor contracts that would settle each claim directly.
