House of Nightmares
The haunted mirrors of Fair's past have returned once again for a special spooky Haunted Carnival engagement at the haunted House of Nightmares! Whether you're an innocent newcomer or a seasoned veteran, we'll challenge you to correctly guess Nintendo characters found within mysterious creations.
Challenge
The current challenge will always be posted here! To view previous challenges, use the Event Highlights button at the top of the thread.
How to Play
Throughout the Return of the Haunted Carnival, various mirror challenges will be presented in this thread according to the schedule. Each challenge is an image obscuring a secret Nintendo character -- your job is to investigate the image and correctly guess what Nintendo character is hiding within!
To participate in the event and submit your answer to the current challenge, create a thread in the House of Nightmares Submissions board with the following information:
- Your Guess: Enter your answer to the current mirror challenge!
- Round: Select the current challenge #, listed above each mirror.
Rules & Guidelines
In addition to all of the explanatory sections above, here's a bit of extra 'fine print' rules to keep in mind:
- Always enter your answer in your submission thread's 'Your Guess' field. Answers not included in the Text Entry field will not be counted or accepted!
- It's generally best to be more specific than not in your answer, just in case. You're more likely to miss out by being too vague.
- Answers/submissions are final when submitted and may not changed or edited later.
- While some events encourage cooperation, we ask that you play the House of Nightmares on your own. Do not share the answer or provide hints to others. You may be disqualified, including removal of tickets and items or forum warnings if you do.
- In the time between submissions closing and the official answer being posted, please be respectful and wait for the official announcement before sharing anything in the thread.
Prizes
Every challenge will award 3 Carnival Coins for a correct answer! Be sure to give it a shot each time though as every answer, whether correct or incorrect, will earn you an entry into a special raffle at the end of the event.
