How Shadow-N-Seek Works
- 1
Take a side each round
Hiders disguise as ordinary campus props; seekers scan the area and try to spot them. Both roles earn Paper Cup Phone for taking part, per the official event text.
- 2
As a hider, place your one decoy
Hiders get a single decoy disguise to bait seekers into a wrong guess, on top of their own real disguise.
- 3
As a seeker, guess carefully
Wrong guesses cost the seeker HP, so scanning before committing to a guess matters more than guessing fast.
- 4
Spend Paper Cup Phone at the Shadebound Shop
The shop stocks the "Gotcha!" avatar frame alongside Annulith, Floe Cinema Tickets and Fons. The official text does not publish an exchange rate or a daily cap on how much Paper Cup Phone you can earn.
