Tapas Treasure Hunt: A Community Game

[vieveda]

I'm going to risk it and go for DOOR#3 please! (I do love purple!)

[Aero]

Little disheartening that everyone responded after Bella said something and not me but oh well

I'll choose door #1! I've been in the mood for sweets lately

[RED-VELVET-CUPCAKE]

I saw your original message, but I was waiting to see if someone new wanted to start! Then I forgot about it for a few days and when @BellaTheCow posted, I thought 'eh, I'll do it anyway.'
You chose Door #1!
You enter and the room is entirely made of gingerbread, even the tables and chairs! It smells amazing, like fresh ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Gumdrops line the walls in a hypnotic pattern. There is no exit to the room. A corner of the table breaks off when you touch it, and you nibble on it. Delicious!
This isn't the way out, but at least you got a sweet treat!

[RED-VELVET-CUPCAKE]

You chose Door #3!
The lovely scent of flowers greets you when you open the door. Beautiful flowers in all shades of purple line the path through an enchanted forest. Fireflies flicker through the trees and the moss glows faintly. You wander down the path, as the crickets chirp and a light wind rustles the leaves. You've found the way home!

Hooray! You chose the right door! Please post a description/image of the character you'd like me to draw!

[BellaTheCow]

That leaves me with door 2! I know there’s already been a winner but just curious as to what would’ve happened had I chosen it @RED-VELVET-CUPCAKE

[RED-VELVET-CUPCAKE]

You chose Door #2!
You enter a long hallway with walls covered in fading wallpaper and a matted red carpet stretching on endlessly. You walk down the hall.
And keep walking.
And walk some more...
Finally, you see a light in the distance. But it only leads to the place where you started...
Time to find another way out...

[vieveda]

Yay!!

I knew purple was always the right choice!

These are my MCs! You can take your pick of which one - whether you want a lighter or darker color palette!

I'm not sure I can come up with such a good prize, but I'll post the next challenge soon! ⁓

[vieveda]

On the horizon stood a large, striped tent, surrounded by brightly lit caravans festooned with paper garlands.

"Ah! Come in dear guest! We've all the wonders of the world for you to see!" called the top-hatted dandy with a curled mustache. "What manner of delights can we tempt you with this evening?"

1. Madam Zamira's Fortunes ⁓ are you brave enough to learn your future?

2. Treasures of the Deep ⁓ learn the mysteries of Cerulean Cove!

3. The Sword-swallower of Sajinka ⁓ come and bear witness to dangerous feats! ️

"Roll up! Roll up! I daresay there's a prize in it for the lucky patron!"

As to that prize - you can take your pick of 'all the likes' or one chapter proof-read with suggestions!

[Aero]

Ooh, the sword swallower sounds awesome! I'm definitely picking that!

[BellaTheCow]

I’ll take door 2 please

[RED-VELVET-CUPCAKE]

I was inspired by that stained glass image, so I had to give it a try myself!

[vieveda]

Thank you so much!

[Amalockh1]

I choose...
Madam Zamira's Fortunes!

[vieveda]

Three intrepid visitors stepped forth to seek a prize.

@Amalockh1 peered into Madam Zamira's crystal ball and saw a tri-sided shape appear from the murky darkness... 'ASK AGAIN LATER'

@BellaTheCow knew they'd made a mistake when they walked into the exhibit and the leaking water had already reached the tops of their ankles. "Welcome to the wonders of Cerulean Cove" said a bored looking young woman as she lazily flapped the large fabric tail she wore. "Don't forget to buy a postcard on your way out." 🧜‍♀️

@fearthedeer724 braved the health and safety risks and took a seat to watch the famed Sword-swallower. As the blade disappeared down the Sajinkan's throat, they marveled at his unusual skill. More shocking still, when the sword re-emerged, the tip had been stabbed into a small lacquered box. "For you!" he said, presenting the prize to the horrifed onlooker. "Ew... you shouldn't have..."

Today's not-so-desirable-prize goes to @fearthedeer724 Let me know if you would like proof-reading services or 'all the likes' as your prize!

[Aero]

Lol I wouldn't say it's an undesirable prize for someone who doesn't promote much anymore nor do I get very many readers either, so proofreading is an excellent prize in my eyes @vieveda

I don't have any preference as to a chapter so you can pick a random one from this novel (it could use some love):

Read Embers of Hope | Tapas Web Community

Bear in mind though that this was my first novel so it's a bit...rough I've evolved with my writing a lot, promise I just really don't wanna edit it until I've finished it

[Aero]

Alrighty, I have the next game! Let's get a little... spooky

At midnight, a knock echoes through your empty house. On the doorstep lies a sealed black envelope with your name written in blood-red ink. As you reach for it, the air grows thick and heavy, like the world is holding its breath. What will you do with the letter?

1. Open the letter

2. Burn the envelope

3. Refuse to touch it

[BellaTheCow]

I’ll do what any other sensible person would do……BURN IT TO A CRISP lololol @fearthedeer724

[Aero]

Lol congrats @BellaTheCow!

You burn the letter, destroying the curse inside before it could take hold of your soul and drag you down to hell

I still don't know what to give you for a reward except my congratulations on winning though

[BellaTheCow]

Haha no worries friend, the adventure is the reward. Tysm! @fearthedeer724 I’ll get the next set of doors in soon

[BellaTheCow]

Oook so…

Door 1 is red
Door 2 is blue
Door 3 is yellow

Choose wisely
