Mini-Games
Hello and welcome to Spiral's Mini-Games! These are games that, rather than being started and stopped at the behest of a fairy, are available to be played at any time!
After the game on Day 58, Spiral rewarded every team with home versions of the games she created. Because Spiral is a forward-thinking, tech-savvy type of fairy, she also made app versions of all of her games available. And made sure the apps were put on everybody's phones. You know, so they wouldn't have to go to the trouble of downloading them themselves. And they can't be deleted, just to make sure nobody deletes them on accident.
These games can be played whenever you want! Play them when nothing else is happening, play them during another event to put an additional little twist on it. Play with friends, play with strangers! New games and effects will be rotated in regularly, so enjoy what's there while it's available and look forward to new stuff around the corner! The world is your oyster. As long as you're playing a game, you're doing it right.

Rules & Info
Each game has status effects tied to them, to enhance the experience and make it more memorable for you. Really. It's for your enjoyment, so indulge in it as much as you can! You can find an explanation and a list of the effects at the Effects page!
Rotation:
There are two active games at a time. The current set of games and effects will be rotated out regularly, to be replaced by a different set of games and effects. Enjoy what's there while it's available, look forward to the new stuff and if you have any suggestions for new games or effects, leave them at Questions & Requests!
Prizes:
Besides all of the wonderful memories you'll no doubt create, you can also earn FABULOUS PRIZES! Each game you play will add points to a wallet you can check at any time via an app you don't remember downloading but for some reason is on your phone now. There's a handy catalog with all the prizes you can exchange your points included in both the physical and digital versions of the games.
The prize table is currently a work in progress, but will hopefully be ready soon! In the meantime, I'm sure if you talk to Spiral directly, she'll whip up something decent to exchange for your hard-earned points.
Starting a Mini-Game:
Sure, some characters are the type that are willing to play games, get stuffed with effects and win prizes all on their own, but what if they're the type to avoid all of that entirely? Well, perhaps they got a message on their phone and next thing they know, their eyes are glazing over and they suddenly have an unabating desire to play a couple rounds. Maybe they sat down at a table with some friends and teammates and a dark curtain materialized around it that refuses to get out of their way and let them leave until they've played. Maybe they were offered 10,000 points in a special message if they got some people together and play a mini-game right now! Unfortunately, they missed the fine print and those free points are only redeemable if their game had people from 13 different teams in it, so they missed out on that.
Basically, you can come up with any (hopefully not too traumatic) way to force, coerce, cajole, compel, etc. your character into playing a mini-game if you don't think they'll do it on their own and assume Spiral is responsible. Just think of it as guerilla marketing!
Trauma:
Spiral's mini-games are "bring your own trauma". Status effects of varying kinds will influence players, but the games themselves will not inflict any physical or mental trauma on the characters and all of the effects will be gone within an IC day or so.
If you don't want to play with things like violence, non-con, etc. but have characters you feel would bring those things into the game, you can also play with no trauma rules, where, if a character attempts to attack another character or makes an unwanted advance on them or anything of that sort, it's just prevented from happening. A force field, a compulsion to stop, gargoyle security shows up and ominously cracks their knuckles, whatever. If you do want to play with that kind of stuff, feel free! It's completely up to the discretion of the players. Make sure you're staying apprised of everybody's sensitive content.
Smoochin':
If a player is engaged in an amorous encounter (read: gettin' all handsy and kissy) during their turn, that player will eventually feel a light painful sensation of some kind, possibly including but not limited to one or more of the following: spanking, pinching, tweaking, scratching, pulling of one or more parts of their bodies. Details such as whether or not any other engaged players will also feel the sensations, how many of the sensations can occur at once, whether they escalate as time goes on, etc. are all up to player discretion. Whether this rule is meant to encourage players to get back to the game or encourage them to keep doing what they're doing is also up to player discretion, but one way or another, it will continue until the game is resumed.
If you have any questions that aren't covered her or anywhere else, please leave them in Questions and Requests!
