🎪 FINAL CALL! WILD CARD TENT — MYSTERY GENRE REVEAL! 🔮

The Fortune-Teller has spoken… and the last challenge of the carnival is HERE!

Step right up—but BEWARE! Behind this tent flap lies a secret genre, waiting to test your reading fate. Will you dare to play?


✨
✨
✨
✨
✨


📜 THE MYSTERY GENRE IS…
✨ Picaresque ✨

"The picaresque novel follows a roguish, low-born hero who survives by wit and charm in a corrupt society—often through hilarious misadventures and satirical social commentary. Think highwaymen, tricksters, and lovable scoundrels!"

🔍 Need inspiration? Check out: Picaresque Books (Don’t worry—your pick doesn’t need to be listed here or by an MPG! Just tell me why it fits.)

⏳ When?
June 9–16 (midnight, your time)

🎟️ Rewards:
1 ticket per 50 pages (ONLY one book per player).
Team Bonus: 4+ players finish? +8 tickets! (Cue confetti!)

💡 REMINDER:
For this bonus, your book does not need to be part of the main challenge. You’re free to read any book that fits the bonus genre—whether or not you’re using it for a task in the main event.

🔮 How to Win Bonus Points:
Read a book that fits the genre.
Submit individually by June 16th (midnight your timezone!).
Team bonus? Just hit 4+ completions—no need to report twice!

🎭 LAST CHANCE FOR GLORY…
The carnival’s packing up soon—will your team seize the final prize?

(Distant calliope music fades…) 🎠💨
