Twisted Masquerade 2025

The Twisted Masquerade is a recurring Anniversary Event in Dead by Daylight, celebrating the Game's Anniversary in June.

Twisted Masquerade 2025 is the fourth and final iteration of the Event and started on 26 June 2025. It was originally meant to last for three weeks until 17 July 2025, but was extended by another week to last until the 24th.

Tryks

Main article: Tryks

The fourth iteration of the Twisted Masquerade once again 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 first two masquerades.
She is a biggest fan of The Entity and holds the celebration in her honour.

She is not a playable Character, occasionally appearing mid-trial to engage everybody in the celebrations with special voice-lines.

Gameplay Mechanics

Be the life – and death – of the party!

Twists and Tryks

Tryks returns with Invitation Scrolls in each Trial to help you survive or hunt.

Bag of Tryks

An empty Bag of Tryks Charge.

Ditto, but full.

The Bag of Tryks returns and applies Status Effects and/or temporary changes to objectives.

The first Tryk is activated at the start of the Trial.
All subsequent Tryks must be triggered by Players progressing their main objective, known as Party Events (i.e. completing a Generator or hooking a Survivor for the first time).

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.

Tryks Effects

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 +20 % Haste Status Effect for 30 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: Grants bonus Bloodpoints. Grants a +10 % Haste Status Effect for 4 seconds. Reveals their Aura to the opposing side for 4 seconds. 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: Causes Survivors to scream and suffer from a -25 % Hindered Status Effect for 4 seconds. Causes the Killer to be stunned in place. 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.

Invitation Pillar

The Invitation Pillar features an Invitation Scroll, with multiple Pillars spawning repeatedly in random locations throughout the Trial.
Their Auras are revealed to all Players within 8 metres.

Collecting their Invitation Scrolls grants +1 Token per Scroll towards the Special Event Ability: the Twisted Skills, also known as the Invitation Abilities.

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.

After collecting the first Invitation Scroll, one's Twisted Skills start to 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.

  • It may have been possible to view this lobby if one were to open their game before updating their client at the start of the event.
