The Spook Contest was introduced in 2022 at the Ebon Gate Festival with its move to Evermore Hollow.
Join
You join the contest by visiting the Spectral Waifling at the Spookorium to get started (lich room number 31813 or UID u8084003). Top five winners at the end of Ebon Gate will receive special titles.
Play
The waifling will give the player an enameled orange pumpkin pin that the player RUBs to spook ghosts in Evermore Hollow. A second rub after scaring a spook tells the length of time until a spook can be attempted again. A TOUCH of the pin gives the player's average score.
The contest runs from the opening of the Ebon Gate festival until the closing. At the end of the contest, GET pin in order to turn in your pin and receive a scripted jack-o-lantern pin in return. It is important that the player not use the GET command until the are absolutely sure they are ready to end the game. A new pin can be retrieved but will re-start the player's score.
Room
| [Town Hall, Spookorium] | RNUM: 31813 |
| Curtains of straggly spiderwebbing flutter in an unseen wind as air moves through the room, drawn down the chimney by the fire recessed in a brick-lined alcove. Forgotten sconces line the walls which are covered in peeling greyish paper, their tallows long since lost to the ravages of time. Skittering sounds occasionally punctuate the crackling grumble of the fire. You also see a spook game scoreboard, and a lilac-sheened blue spectral waifling. | |
