Kuromi's Spooky Cafe

Kuromi's Spooky Cafe is a minigame in My Hello Kitty Cafe. It was added for the Kuromi Birthday Party. The game takes place in Kuromi's cafe, with up to 8 people can join in a server. The entrances to join this game can be found from both the town and the City Store.
__TOC__
== Gameplay ==
The player's goal is to avoid Kuromi and collect magic candies, while also escaping from Kuromi's cafe. When the game starts, one random player will be chosen as Kuromi. Their goal is to turn all other players (also sometimes refered to as challengers) into cakes by touching them. The doors to leave the cafe will open after 2 minutes after the game begins. Each round lasts 3 minutes. If all the other players are turned into cakes and cannot escape, the victory is granted to the Kuromi player. However, if there is at least one challenger escapes, the players will win.
Each challenger will need to hide from Kuromi during the round and collect candies located randomly around the map, with a limit of 20 per round (30 for VIPs). Challengers can save other challengers already turned into cakes by touching them for about 5 seconds; by doing so grants them extra 5 candies per success saves, up to 10 candies.
After the doors open, all challengers will have their location revealed on the map, letting everyone else (including the Kuromi player) know where they are hiding. If a challenger can escape, they will get extra 5 candies for winning the challenge.
== Tips ==
=== General ===
*Playing this with shift-lock enabled (on pc) can help control better.
=== For challengers ===
*It is usually recommended hiding in a room that is far away from Kuromi's spawn if you don't have a good controlling skill until someone got turned into cakes. This will alert you about the Kuromi player's location if they camp the cake.
*Staying on Kuromi's wall or any other high ground places (like on a locker) can give you some extra time to run away when the Kuromi tries to reach you. Be aware of Kuromi's hitbox though, however, because sometimes Kuromi can still turn you into cakes even when she hasn't reached you.
*Hiding in a room with a matching color to the avatar outfit you are wearing can also make it harder for Kuromi to notice you. For example, you can use a white avatar outfit if you hide in a fireplace; or a light blue outfit if you hide in the boys' bathroom. Additionally, if you have a small enough body, you can even hide between a fireplace and the wall.
*Watch out for the footsteps sound. If it sounds louder than usual, there may be a chance Kuromi is chasing you from behind.
*If you are being chased by the Kuromi, don't move in a circle too much. Instead, try to move straight ahead to the room in front of you. After entering the room, stop for a second and see the Kuromi's decision. If they continue chasing you, try to move to the nearby rooms quickly.
=== For Kuromi player ===
*At the first of the round, try to target someone spawning near you first. If you don't see anyone else when you spawn, try to move around in the middle. Others will likely need to go to the other side of the map to collect candies.
*When you already captured at least one target, do not camp them too much. Try to move further from the target until the cake no longer alerts "Kuromi is nearby", then keep the same distance from the cake. This will help you easily capture the next players who attempt to come and help them.
*When most of challengers already turned into cakes, try to keep them in one place and repeat the same method above until there's only one player left. At this point, you can start looking out for the last challenger. Remember to still pay attention to the help sign on the cakes.
*When the door opens, all the players' locations will be revealed on the map, making it easier for you to capture them.

== Trivia ==
*A daily candy limit for each player is 1000 candies, meaning they can not get more than that amount in a day.
**However, in the first week when the new Cinnamoroll and Kuromi themed items got released, the daily coin limit each player can get per day in both Cinnamoroll's Cloud Cafe and Kuromi's Spooky Cafe minigames got increased from 1000 to 1500.
*If the player who's chosen as Kuromi has already got her in their cafe and bought her outfits, they will also turn into that outfit model that their Kuromi is wearing in their town.
*If a player has more than 2 saves in a round, they still only get 10 candies from saving.
**This makes the maximum amount of candies a challenger can get from a round is 35 (45 for VIPs).
*Sometimes if the Kuromi player resets or leaves while the round is still going, all players will lose all the candies they have collected in that round.
**This has been fixed since an unknown update.
*There is a rare glitch that happens sometimes in the game that causes the list of challengers to bug out, and some challenger player names get duplicated. When it happens, all candies in the minigame will spawn much faster, and all possible candy locations will be spawned right at the beginning of the round.
