¶ Skull Games official record and public claims 2023-2026
The current official and nonprofit-record layer supports a stable baseline description of Skull Games: a Monument, Colorado 501(c)(3) operating under the legal name Skull Games, publicly branded as Skull Games Solutions, and led by Jeff Tiegs. Official site material says the group spun out on its own in 2023 after supporting other organizations, and that it now provides analytical and operational support to law-enforcement agencies through a nationwide volunteer task-force model built around OSINT.
This cluster combines two evidence classes that should be kept distinct: public nonprofit records and the organization's own current site. The nonprofit layer is strongest on legal identity, address, EIN, and revenue / asset scale. The site layer is strongest on mission, team names, task-force doctrine, and public self-reported impact metrics.
- Skull Games is a real Colorado nonprofit rather than only a loose event brand.
- ProPublica lists the legal entity as
Skull Games.
- EIN is
92-3817043.
- The current recorded address is in
Monument, Colorado.
- The spinout date is publicly framed but not perfectly tidy.
- The current
about page says Skull Games ventured off on its own in May 2023.
- The linked impact-report PDF says the move happened in
June of that year.
- ProPublica shows an IRS ruling date of
2023-07-01.
- The operating model is explicit on the live site.
- Skull Games says it provides
analytical and operational support through law-enforcement agencies.
- The organization describes itself as a
force multiplier for under-resourced agencies.
- The task-force page says detailed reports are sent to law-enforcement partners at the end of task-force events.
- The leadership surface is fairly visible.
- The live site identifies
Jeff Tiegs, Ty Canter, Michal Block, Joseph Scaramucci, and Liz Bradt in current staff roles.
- The site also names current board members including
Cynthia Hetherington, Emalee Jensen, Martin McCloud, and Dr. Anthony Randall.
- The official worldview and operating doctrine are also fairly explicit.
- The task-force values statement says
sex work creates individual and collective trauma.
- The same statement says every person involved in prostitution and trapped in sex trafficking is viewed as a victim.
- Skull Games says its leads are intended to support action against
predators and exploiters, not victims.
- The public impact layer exists, but it is self-reported.
- The linked
Jun-Dec 2023 impact-report PDF claims 9 victims recovered and offered services, 73 sex predators arrested, 5 missing children recovered, >400 predators and victims identified online, +2000 people trained, and +30 law-enforcement agencies supported.
- The same PDF also claims
>5000 hours of investigative support and >200 cases passed.
- The finance picture is still early-stage but no longer trivial.
- The latest detailed filing year recovered in this pass is
2023, showing $374,105 in revenue and $40,362 in year-end assets.
- The current ProPublica organization snapshot keyed to
2024-12-01 shows higher top-level amounts, including $982,004 in revenue and $633,881 in assets.
- Skull Games is not merely a slogan or event series. It has a real nonprofit shell, a current address, a leadership roster, and a public law-enforcement-support mission.
- The official site frames the organization less as a survivor-services provider than as an intelligence, operational-support, and training organization.
- The public-impact claims are numerous and large enough to matter, but they remain organization-reported claims until independently checked against police, court, or survivor-service records.
¶ Evidence limits and open questions
- The current repo still lacks a stable public PDF or filing path for later year-by-year financial detail beyond the ProPublica snapshot and the
2023 detailed extract.
- The resources page exposes
Financials and IRS Letter labels, but those were not linked in the reviewed HTML.
- The current official-source layer does not independently verify self-reported metrics such as arrests, recoveries, hours, or cases passed.
