The reason why Carnival is not "spoilers" is because this chamber of secrets has no plot at all, and is supported by game mechanics. To sum it up simply, it is a hodgepodge of "werewolf killing + who is undercover + peek-a-boo".

In Carnival, players will be divided into three factions, namely the "Beast Trainer" camp led by the breeder, the "StuntMan" camp led by the Prophet, and the "Puppet Master" camp led by the manipulator, the number of the three factions is adjusted according to the number of players, and can be played by up to 8-21 people, which is extremely flexible. The greater the number of people, the more special characters will be unlocked.

Players in the three camps are required to judge the identities of others based on the game's prompts, while also collecting as many funds as possible. Finally, we must also try to keep our own key figures outside the prison, and send the key figures of other camps to prison, so as to ensure that our own camps get the highest scores.

Before the game starts, the host will assign identities to each player through the "dark please close your eyes" way, there will be three "secret codes" in the whole field, according to the different characters selected, each player masters 1-3 of them, the clue prompt card in the player's hand will tell you which secret codes your teammates have mastered, players can find their teammates through private chat during the game, or they can deceive others and become an "undercover". Each character in the game has their own skill, and the proper use of skills can give their own team an edge faster.

In the middle and late stages of the game, players need to collect electric gates, gold coins and skill cards through various channels, the electric gate is the key scoring prop of the game, the three camps need to compete for the electric gate through various means, the "Beast Trainer" and "Stuntman" camps should light up as many electric gates as possible, and the "manipulators" camp should prevent the lights of the electric gates as much as possible.

At the end of the game, there is an auction round where all players in prison become "commodities", and the successful forces in the auction can decide whether the player returns to the camp or to prison. Therefore, the gold coins collected in the early stage are particularly important in this link.

It is worth mentioning that the most enjoyable part of the game is the "peek-a-boo" link, thanks to the more complex venue design, this link can be played very happily. And those players who have been in prison early on feel really in jail.

venue

The venue of "Carnival" is very good, the game venue is a two-story building of about 800 square meters, and there is an inflatable castle spanning two floors inside, and in the search for supplies and peek-a-boo, this bouncy castle is full of people.

A large number of treasure chests are arranged in the venue, and it takes gold coins to open the treasure chest, according to the price, the treasure chest is divided into four levels of 5, 10, 15, and 20, which can be opened repeatedly, but the rewards in the treasure chest will not be reset, so you must make a reasonable judgment before opening the treasure chest to avoid opening empty boxes.

There are also many mini-games on the second floor of the playing field, which can become a way for players to obtain gold coins. Among them, the doll catching machine and the coin push machine can be called the "gold coin trap", and players who are addicted to these two small games can easily "lose their homes" in the pursuit of happiness.

In addition, there are also many "functional" rooms in the game field, such as prayer rooms, mirror mazes, prisons, auction houses, etc., each room has its own unique role, the layout and style of the rooms are also different, players who like to explore, you can also find a lot of carefully arranged small Easter eggs in each room.

Although "Carnival" is not a horror-themed chamber, but because the elements such as "playground", "clown", "dark indoor environment" and other elements are too suitable for the content of horror and horror, in order not to waste this topic, "Carnival" is slightly arranged with some "hades" sound effects, such as the occasional spooky laughter of children in the inflatable maze, there will be a broken mirror in the mirror maze, under the blessing of such sound effects, the "peek-a-boo" link is full of the visual sense of the "fifth personality", which is very interesting.

summary

Unlike the traditional PVE plot to the Chamber of Secrets, this Chamber of Secrets can withstand repeated players playing, and each game will have a new feeling.
