One of the loading screen messages by the Developer Team featured a riddle by Gameplay Programmer Daniel:
| (4-1706-48) (1-1241-39) (3-2433-28) (2-344-149) (1-1242-51) (3-2116-110). The solution is the question. See you in The Fog. <3 |
It was swiftly identified as an Ottendorf Cipher, in which the first number of the cipher refers to a specific Tome, the second number to a specific Memory within that Tome, and the third number to a specific word within that Memory.
As an example, the sixth cipher points to the 110th word of Memory 2116 in Tome 3 - Escalation: Secrets.
Combining the words from all six ciphers forms the following message: A miserable little pile of secrets.
This is a reference to the upcoming Castlevania Chapter.
The full quote reads as follows: "What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets!".
The third iteration of the Twisted Masquerade features Tryks, also known as Jezabel or the The Mad Designer.
She is the host of the Twisted Masquerade and was mentioned in Lore entries of the previous Events.
She is a biggest fan of The Entity and holds the celebration in her honour.
She is not a playable Character, just occasionally appears to engage everybody in the celebrations with voice-lines.
For the third iteration of the Twisted Masquerade and as a first for an Event, the Gameplay is delegated into its own separate queue, akin to the Modifiers that were introduced earlier that year.
This allows Players not wishing to participate in the Event activities to continue playing regular Trials.
Only Twisted Masquerade Trials will feature the Gameplay changes and mechanics listed below:
All Event Trials use the newly introduced Bag of Tryks mechanic.
The Bag of Tryks, named so after Tryks, is not a physical, interactable object, but rather a mechanic that triggers Tryks, which imbue Players with various special effects and can temporarily modify the main gameplay objectives.
The first Tryk is activated right at the start of the Trial.
All subsequent Tryks must be triggered by Players progressing their main objective (i.e. completing a Generator or hooking a Survivor for the first time), so-called Party Events.
A new Tryk is activated after triggering 2 Party Events, which are tracked by two shield icons displayed beneath the Tryk icons.
The Bag of Tryks always displays two icons: that of the currently active Tryk and that of the next one to activate, giving Players the opportunity to prepare themselves for the next effect.
The Bag of Tryks mechanic is disabled during the Endgame Collapse
.
The Bag of Tryks is a literal mixed bag: granting both good 
and bad 
effects to all Players in the Trial, as well as possibly a neutral one 
:
| Icon | Name | Type | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
|
You're Invited! |
|
Grants +1 Token towards the Twisted Skills to all Players. |
|
Move It or Lose It! | Grants a +30 % Haste   Status Effect for 60 seconds to all Players.
| |
|
Party Totem! | All Dull Totems   are converted into Anniversary Totems, glowing in a festive blue and gold tint.Successfully channelling an Anniversary Totem applies the following effects to the Player:
Failing to channel an Anniversary Totem by interrupting the interaction only grants bonus Bloodpoints. An Anniversary Totem converts back into a Dull Totem after granting its gift. | |
|
Party Chest! | All unopened Chests   are converted into Anniversary Chests, glowing in a festive blue and gold tint when within 8 metres of them.
All Anniversary Chests automatically open in an explosion of festive confetti after 60 seconds and apply the following effects to all Players who are within their Aura-range at that moment:
Opening an Anniversary Chest before the Tryk expires guarantees a random Anniversary Item. | |

|
Zzl Zilch! |
|
Nothing happened, you got Tryks! |
|

|
No Invite for You! |
|
Removes -1 Token from the Twisted Skills of all Players. |
|
Peekaboo! | Reveals all Player Auras   for 8 seconds.
| |
|
Heal You, Expose You! | Causes all Survivors to heal by +1 Health State   or become Mended when suffering from the Deep Wound   Status Effect, but then causes all Survivors to suffer from the Exposed   Status Effect for the next 30 seconds.
| |
|
Wait, Where...? | Suppresses the Terror Radius  of the Killer and the creation of Scratch Marks   of Survivors for the next 30 seconds.
| |
All Event Trials also spawn, as in previous years, the Masquerade Pillar with an Invitation Scroll
.
The Auras of the Masquerade Pillars are revealed to all Players within 8 metres.
Unlike in previous years, there are now multiple Masquerade Pillars in the Trial and they do not de-spawn after interacting with them, but go on a Cool-down instead.
Collecting their Invitation Scrolls grants +1 Token per Scroll towards the special Event Ability: the Twisted Skills, also known this year as the Invitation Abilities.
Compared to their 2023 counterpart, this year's Twisted Skills are slightly modified.
The number of available Tokens is indicated by comet-like fireballs circling the Character's torso, as well as two golden slashes in the top left corner of the screen from the Killer's POV.
Players can accumulate a maximum of 2 Tokens at once.
Unlike in previous years and triggered after collecting the first Invitation Scroll, the Twisted Skills passively charge new Tokens at all times at a rate of +0.015 c/s (~66.667 seconds per Token), with the rate being doubled to +0.03 c/s (~33.333 seconds per Token) whenever the Player is actively engaged in a Chase.
The Twisted Skills are disabled during the Endgame Collapse.
The Twisted Skills can be activated at the Player's discretion, depending on the selected skill.
The abilities are on Cool-down for 30 seconds after use.
to become unvaultable for the Killer for 4 seconds after you vault through it.

The Twisted Masquerade 2024, like its predecessors, adds another set of unique Mask cosmetics for several original Characters that can be unlocked during Trials when collecting an Invitation Scroll from the Masquerade Pillar.
In order to unlock the Rewards, Players must have at least 1 Token left towards their Twisted Skills when either the Exit Gates or the Hatch are open.
The Masks from previous Twisted Masquerades are purchasable in the In-Game Store
for the duration of the Event.
The Entity Crowns were the featured Cosmetic Rewards for participating in the Fourth Year Anniversary (2020) and the Fifth Year Anniversary (2021), akin to the twisted Masks that now constitute the Cosmetic Rewards of the Twisted Masquerades since 2022.
They can be obtained by redeeming the code PARTYHATS24 in the Store.
The main Event features a special one-time Log-in Reward: enough Event Currency to purchase 1 Event Outfit.
It also features Daily Log-in Rewards:

The Twisted Masquerade features a special Event Tome:
Like regular Tomes
, the Event Tome is made up of a mix of Survivor and Killer Challenges.
Additionally, some of the Tome's nodes in the Auris Web unlock a Cosmetic Piece as a Reward for participating in the Event Tome.
The Event Tome features 3 Tome Levels, each with two separate paths through the Auris Web:
This marks the upper path of the Auris Web.
It features challenges that will add their progression to a community-wide goal.
This marks the lower path of the Auris Web.
It functions like a regular path through the Auris Web like in any other Tome.
