Goal

Every guest is a Lumen — a living flame in a masquerade mask. Socialites finish missions, return ancient relics to the shrine and vote out the Glitches. Glitches secretly snuff out Lumens and sabotage the party.

Adventure

Pick the locks on treasure chests for items (Smoke Bomb, Speed Tonic, Lantern Oil, Skeleton Key, Ward Charm, Spyglass — use with T). Carry glowing relics back to the shrine at the bell; the Socialites need every relic home to win by missions. Skeleton Keys open hidden vaults on the Manor and Yacht. Stand at the Scrying Mirror to see every guest.

Game modes

• 🎭 Masquerade: the classic social deduction.
• 🕯️ Candle Hunt: hide & seek freeze tag. Seekers count (frozen and blind), then hunt. Frozen Hiders are thawed by friends (E).
• 🧟 Glitch Outbreak: infection tag. Every tag converts a Survivor. Survive the clock!
• 🏺 Relic Rush: Sun vs Moon. Carry relics to your base; tag enemy carriers to stun them.
• 🔥 Ember Royale: your fuel burns down and the ring shrinks. Grab embers, steal fuel with tags, and be the last flame.

Arcade modes spawn powerups (⚡ speed, 💨 smoke, 🫧 shield, 🧭 star map, ❄️ frost bomb, 🔥 embers). Everyone can Dash with Z and Tag with F when their role allows.
