Six booths. Six secrets. Three endings. One Barker._
A brand-new BBS door game - and the midway is only half lit. On opening night just one booth takes your tickets. Play it, win it, and the Barker starts opening the rest: the Duck Shoot Gallery, Balloon Darts, the High Striker, Whack-A-Mole, and the Fun House Maze... each revealed with its own ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED! fanfare.
Open all six, prove yourself in the Fun House, and the Barker himself invites you to FINAL NIGHT - a three-round showdown. Beat him and you finish Season One, receive one of three secret endings, and your name shines on the CARNIVAL HEROES list forever. A season can only be beaten once.

Six easter eggs hide around the lot. Some are typed. Some are luck. Some take skill... or curiosity. Every egg you find takes its place on your prize shelf - it follows you across every screen - and lands you on the EGG HUNTERS leaderboard. Zoltar sees all, and might, for a coin, say more.

CARNIVAL - SEASON ONE v2026.7.31 ---------------------------------------- Six carnival booths... but only ONE is open tonight. Play, win, and the Barker opens the midway piece by piece. Daily tickets, hidden easter eggs, a prize shelf, three secret endings, and one FINAL NIGHT showdown. ~A month to beat. Only heroes finish a season. ---------------------------------------- ANSI music * multinode * Linux/Win32/ Win64/MSDOS/Raspberry Pi (c) 2026 Alexander Corris

Full details, multinode notes, and troubleshooting are in carnival.doc inside the zip. Callers need ANSI; the door politely declines ASCII sessions.
