going down

  • !downin at floor 1, then 1 floor deeper a match. the safe way down
  • !down randomfall 1 to 5 floors. once a match, and never past it while it's hunting your floor
  • first !down of the night🦴1,000, from a bone at the bottom of the stairs

  • !push @nameshove someone 1 floor deeper. once a match, never off a floor it's hunting

the lurker

it lives at the bottom. zach's match moves it.

  • a match startsit wakes on floor 20, the very bottom
  • zach diesit climbs 1 floor, or 2 below floor 12
  • a double · triple · quadpushed down 1 · 2 · to the bottom
  • two deaths in 20 sit takes the stairs two at a time, and hunts only where it lands
  • zach escapes a fightits next hunt checks 1 spot fewer
  • a hero swapeveryone down there moves 1 floor, up or down
  • zach losesone last hunt, on whoever's deepest. not if he's the SVP
  • overtimea frenzy: it checks 3 spots, and drags last 45 s
  • 1 to 4 am, zach's timethe creeping hour: finds count twice, hunts check 1 more spot
  • it typesits lines start 👁️ LURKER:. when it climbs it names who's next and pings them, and it has something to say to everyone it catches. closer, the words glitch
  • now and thenit cuts into the bot's own line, or soupie's, and finishes it
  • it liesnow and then zach dies and it says it went back down. 10 s later it's on the next floor up
  • it rememberslast words come back later, in its voice
  • now and then, zach diesit reaches out of the dark for someone down there: a 10 s timeout. !spareme and it never does

hide, and save each other

  • closet
  • fridge
  • dryer
  • stairs
  • heater
  • soup pot
  • it's on your floor25 s to !hide: the closet, the fridge, the dryer, the stairs, the heater or the soup pot
  • it searchesit checks 2 spots, the most crowded first. don't all pile into the fridge
  • it hears youtype anything in chat while it's on your floor and it checks your spot first. !hide is fine
  • it learns youhide in the same spot as last time and it might check there first
  • it finds youyou're dragged. chat has 60 s to !save @you, or say your word: it's on soupy.site/tonight
  • saves to get free2 on 1-8 · 3 on 9-16 · 4 on 17-20
  • pulled freeit keeps your cheapest soup. an empty bag costs nothing
  • who can !saveanyone in chat: up top, a ghost, never been down. !save random pulls someone you haven't yet
  • zach, once a nighthe reaches down: someone dragged is free, at no cost, or someone who got got is back on their floor, bag and all if nobody looted it

running up

  • !run between matchesup the stairs. every soup goes on your shelf and pays
  • the stairs creakwith a bag it can drag you back down, likelier from deeper. chat can still save you
  • zach's MVPthe stairs glow: runs pay ×1.5
  • !run mid-matchyou get out, but your bag stays on your floor
  • a ladder or a skeleton keynever creaks

got got

you're a ghost: one !boo, !possess and !haunt a match. they still work through the next match after you !down again.

  • nobody saved youyou're got. your bag stays on that floor
  • last wordstype anything in 30 s and it goes on your tombstone. then it drags you into the dark: a 20 s timeout
  • !lootgrab a bag on your floor, or 1 floor away
  • !down againstart over on floor 1. your ghost tricks still work through the next match
  • !boo @nametheir spot's given away next hunt. if they get got, you take their best soup
  • !possess @nametheir next move down there is a scream, and it comes running
  • !haunt @namesomething creepy about them, in chat

luck and company

nothing to type. they just happen.

  • 4+ on one floorwhen a match ends it's a campfire: everyone around it finds one more soup. the lurker checks crowded spots first
  • the golden floorone floor glows each match, said when it starts. be on it when the match ends for a rare or better find
  • the bone bucketevery lost !gamble and every soup a save costs goes in. when a match ends it can tip onto one random person down there
  • a mystery jar1 in 20 finds come with one. it opens when you !run: anything from common to mythic

soups and bones
