## Mini Events

During the October 2019 event, players were given "mini-events" as well as the "main" event. These seem to be either anywhere from 24 hours to 3 days long.

### Frightening Technology

**October 5th & 6th**

Replacing the weekly weekend event "Monstorogly", players are introduced to a Halloween themed mini event during the "In Fear's Grip" October 2019 event. Players have three tasks to complete within 2 days (Saturday/Sunday). These mini events will be apart of future seasonal events (Easter/Halloween/Christmas).

**Task 1 - The Company You Keep**

**Goal:** Meet 50 Invisibility (Witches) hats/Zombie Girls

**Reward:** x5000 coins and x1 Compass

**Task 2 - Master of Eclipses**

**Goal:** Find 150 Items to access the Halls of Samhain.

**Reward:** x3 Magnifying Glasses, x30 Darkness Tokens

**Task 3 -** **Small Weaknesses**

**Goal:**Collect 20 Darkness Tokens in bonus (event) mini games.

**Reward:** x50 Energy, x1 Apple (Gives 10 energy when consumed).

Completion of **all 3 Tasks** rewards: 180 Tokens

### Scream

"Scream" is a one day mini event that mirrors Monstorogly (Phantoms) but instead of Phantoms, the player is collecting screams that were stolen from the the City's residents.

There is one major difference between the normal Monstorogly and Scream in terms of playing is that you only search for the highlighted item.

Ex. When a player has entered a location to play that has active an Scream on it, it will ask them to find a high number of Screams. It will also show one item highlighted at a time, that item counts towards the Scream count but if left to be found last then the player will end up with 1/18 instead of 18/18.

The scream item shows up one at a time in the list so always look for the highlighted item first.

When it comes to tools, Compasses do not point to the highlighted item.

If the Similar Items mode or the Bats anomaly is active then each pair counts for one Scream.

**Rewards:**

25 Vials

* 30mins of infinite energy

**115 Vials**

* x3 Discover's Magnifying Glasses

* 30 Tokens
