—In-game pop-up

Clicking the 'Go!' button will bring users to an online webpage invitation with a QR Code for others to scan when on PC. However, when accessed on mobile (or scanning the QR Code from the PC website), an interactive minigame will pop up.

The player will then be prompted to accept the invitation the "Specter" is holding in his hands. On click, the screen will zoom in on the invitation and allow the player to open the seal. A piece of parchment paper will then pop up. Upon linking an ID and account, 28 clues will be sent to the player. After linking an account, players can choose to share the minigame via a social platform such as Facebook, Twitter or LINE. After 3 friends accept your invitation, you will receive a 1-Day A-Costume Trial Card via in-game mail.

## Masquerade: Main Event

Guiding Spirit

*This event is available from October 29th to November 4th.*

*"Behind the façade of the Masquerade hides the trading of souls and the fulfillment of desires."*

The currency Soul Energy can be obtained via playing quick, rank, and duo hunters matches, and will be used as the main form of exchange in this year's main event. From the main event, a variety of rewards are obtainable; Postman's limited A-Tier costume, "Specter", Priestess' limited B-Tier costume, Guiding Spirit, as well as her matching limited B-Accessory, Apostle. All rewards will cost Soul Energy to claim, "Specter" costing 50, Guiding Spirit worth 25, and Apostle requiring 20 for its purchase. Obtaining Soul Energy can be executed from October 29th to November 4th, and exchanges can be made from October 29th to November 8th.

### Required Matches

From victories, 6 Soul Energy will be awarded. From draws, 4 Soul Energy will be awarded. From losses, 2 Soul Energy will be rewarded. To claim all event-exclusive customizations (excluding graffiti), a total of 95 Soul Energy is required, meaning a **minimum** of **16 matches** must be played (assuming all are victories), and a **maximum** of **48 matches** must be played, assuming all matches are defeats and defeat protection (certain victory bot matches) are disabled in the player's tier: assuming all matches are defeats other than defeat protected matches, a total of 35 matches must be played. Around **24 matches** must be played to purchase everything.

## Soul Pact

Soul Energy can also be used to make Soul Pacts, a gamble for prizes. There are three different 2020 Halloween Exclusive Graffiti types available from Soul Pacts: Rag Doll, Black Cat, and Ghost - all three are non-exclusive graffiti and can be used by both Hunters and Survivors. All prizes have an equal chance of being obtained. To make a pact, cast 1 Soul Energy to Fiona, the Guiding Spirit, and draw a symbol on screen to summon a reward.
