THE RULES OF DECEPTION

Trust is an illusion in Lucas' Castle. These rules exist to preserve the delicate balance between mercy and malice, ensuring the game remains fair, intense, and profoundly immersive throughout your weekend of treachery.

GAMEPLAY MECHANICS

ROLES: TRAITORS VS FAITHFULS
  • Traitors: A chosen few move in shadows at night to eliminate the Faithfuls one by one.
  • Faithfuls: The group must detect the liars through deduction before they are eliminated.
MISSIONS: THE GOLD HUNT
  • Engage in daily high-stakes challenges across the castle to build the collective prize pot.
  • Suspicion runs high as Traitors may sabotage efforts secretly to keep the gold for themselves.
BANISHMENTS: THE ROUND TABLE
  • Every night, all players convene to debate and vote for the expulsion of one suspect.
  • Successful banishments reveal the truth. Mistakes leave you vulnerable to the next murder.
THE FINAL CONFRONTATION
  • If any Traitors remain at the final chest, they claim the entire pot. If only Faithfuls remain, they split it.
  • Final alliances are tested. Only the most cunning or the truly innocent survive.

FAIR PLAY

In the high-stakes environment of Lucas' Castle, integrity is the bedrock of deception. To maintain an immersive and serious atmosphere, every participant must adhere to these non-negotiable standards of conduct. Respect for the estate and its players is the only rule that cannot be broken.

  • Meta-Game Honesty: Commitment to your role is essential. While the game thrives on lies, breaking the established mechanics is strictly prohibited.

  • Physical Safety: The castle is a battlefield of the mind. Violence, physical intimidation, or unauthorized entry into staff zones is cause for immediate expulsion.

  • Mutual Respect: Treat all fellow contestants and estate staff with the dignity fitting of the Lucas legacy. Personal harassment is never tolerated.

  • Absolute Confidentiality: What happens within the castle walls stays within the castle walls. Respect the secrecy of the game's twists and turns.

THE UNKNOWN

WHAT IS THE DIFFICULTY LEVEL?

The Castle of Lies is designed to be mentally demanding and psychologically intense. Expect a weekend where your sharpest wit and strategic discretion are your only true assets.

ARE THERE AGE LIMITS?

Participants must be 18 years or older. The experience deals with mature themes of deception and high-stakes social manipulation that require a legal adult level of commitment.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING?

Formal attire is mandatory for the evening events. Casual, dark clothing is recommended for daytime activity. Additional details will be provided no later than Saturday, July 18th for those who RSVP.

IF SOMEONE WANTS TO TAP OUT?

We ask that you RSVP only if you can fully commit to the entire weekend experience. If an unexpected situation comes up, please speak with Shane or Lucas as soon as possible. If you choose to tap out, the decision is permanent — you will be safely escorted from the estate and your stake will be forfeited.
