Obtaining
It is obtainable in the game Piggy.

In the Alleys map of Book 2, the player has to unlock the various buildings on the map until they reach the dull yellow building located at the back of the map. In the building, there will be a puddle in front of one of the doors. The player has to mop up this puddle by obtaining a mop somewhere on the map in order to progress.

Once this is done, the player has to wait until the timer at the top of the screen reaches 7:30. Then, the player has to click on the door that had the puddle previously in front of it, and a number of knocks will be echoed back in return. The number of knocks correspond to the number you have to put on three different dice around the map. Note that because there are three different dice, you will need to hear for three different sets of knocks. The number of knocks can vary from 1 knock to 9 knocks and is randomized.

The three different dice are located in the following order - the Diner, the Laundry Room, and besides the Safe in the other part of the Laundry Room. So for example, the first set of knocks has 2 knocks - the player simply needs to flip the dice in the Diner until it shows the number 2. Repeat this for the other dice. Once all three dice has been flipped to their respective numbers, clicking on the door will give the player a prompt stating that someone gotten lost in another part of the map, and that the player has to rescue them. The door will unlock, and the player will then have to proceed through the door.

Once through the door, the player has to flip some switches in a way that they are all facing the wall. Doing this will unlock a door to another part of the map. There, the lost person will can be seen standing in the middle of the room on a pillar. The player has to blow out the torches on the pillars surrounding the lost person.

Once this is done, return to the switches and flip them so that they are now all facing away from the wall. Doing this will unlock another part of the map, and also enable the lost person to reunite with the player. In the next part of the map, there are several buttons on the wall. The player has to press on three of the buttons in the correct order depending on the number on the different dice from earlier before the ceiling descends on the player and kills them.

For example, the Diner dice has the 2 number, the Laundry Room dice has the 7 number, and the Safe dice has the 5 number. The player simply needs to press the 2, 7, and 5 buttons in that order. To determine what number the button corresponds to, count the number of lines on the button. Pressing the wrong button will cause all the buttons to disappear, forcing the player to completely restart the mission again.

Doing this step correctly though will open a door to the exit. Simply go through the exit and the player will be awarded the Crown of Madness, as well as the Robes of Madness and the Pants of Madness and a game badge.
