Here's where we'll be keeping track of ideas for our room's games and contests. They can be run by just one character or by multiple characters. Or just be something that's a thing.
Contests
REQUIRED KING/QUEEN OF THE CIRCUS CONTEST Guests create their best circus themed avatar and submit it for voting! One male and one female avatar will win and go on to be voted King or Queen of the Ball! xxxxxPrizesc xxxxxKing/Queen:: Fantastic Circus Carnival xxxxxPrince/Princess:: Dark Circus
Art Contest The circus is coming to town, but it seems all of the posters have gone missing! Draw one or more of the circus stars in their act for a chance of them picking your poster as the best! xxxxxPrizes xxxxxFirst Place: xxxxxSecond Place xxxxxThird Place
Writing Contest While they may just be performers, the members of the circus all enjoy one thing! Poetry! Submit a circus-themed poem and they may just reward your talent! xxxxxPrizes xxxxxFirst Place: xxxxxSecond Place xxxxxThird Place
Games
Fortune's Corner What lies in your future? The numbers will tell! Generate a series of random numbers for a cute message, chibi, and possibly some gold! xxxxxPrizes xxxxxOdd Numbers: xxxxxEven Numbers: xxxxxSpecific Numbers:
Dunk-a-Clown Our zombie clowns love nothing more than to sit in the Dunk Tank! Step on up and see if you can send one into the drink for a chance at some gold! Fair warning: some of the clowns bite.
Skull Alley Chrysanthemum prefers her assistants to be of the skeleton variety. Sometimes, when animating them, she ends up with extra bones which she uses to set up her own bowling alley! She's even got a bedazzed skull for you to use to try and knock them down!
Where's Phoenix? One of Lucille's favorite things to do is to hide. Can you find the phoenix hiding in the tent?
Day Specific Games
Have you seen my---? All of the circus' props seem to have gone missing! The performers refuse to go on until all of them can be found. Look for them in the cast member's posts and make sure to be the first one to quote them and receive some gold! xxxxxPrize:
Secret Joy Nothing is worse than a crying, raging vampire. But how do you cheer one up? Look for the bolded letters in Lilith's posts to uncover how to do so! If you're able to correctly figure out what will make Lilith happy, you might just win a prize! All answers should be PM'd to Violet the Maestro. xxxxxPrize:

Character contest we can host the best performer awards . Art contest i can host a circus gamble corner, where we have to roll numbers in order to win prizes. For king or queen contest the best circus costumes.
Writing Contest: Last year, in the room I was in, we had a poetry contest and it was a lot of fun being the judge for this. I feel as though since poetry is very accessible to anyone and can apply to anything, it would be a nice addition to the contests. In order to make the contest fit the room, we would just have to say that the poems had to be circus related.
Carnival Games: Thinking to the Carnival stage in Left 4 Dead 2 (Vyite knows a lot about this), what we could do is have some sort of scavenger hunt where one of the members of the room would include an image of a carnival game (like Whack-a-Mole, one of those cork gun shooting games, knocking over milk bottles, getting hoops around little pegs, fishing) and the first person to quote the post would receive a prize. Or we can make it more like a carnival game and include luck into the mix by doing a random number generator from 1-10, squares being grand prizes (ie: 4 and 9), odd numbers being minor prizes (excluding 9), and even numbers being no prize (excluding 4). EDIT: Ofc, a carnival would be somewhat of a stretch... Unless it would be considered something like "Outside the Big Roof!" and the festivities that occur outside the circus. If it's too out of context, then it could just be adapted to finding different symbols of the circus (popcorn machine, ring of fire, elephants and lions, unicycles, clowns)

If we need more ideas, I've got a few:

New Circus-themed RBG! Perhaps we can find some decently priced items for prizes smile
Not posting any game/contest ideas, but I did a few quick searches of circus/carnival-related items and wanted to post a brief list of potential prizes. I tried not to include items with no marketplace listings, and I haven't included all recolors of some items, so those could be options, too. I also tried finding decently priced items, although some might be a bit expensive and some a little too cheap (but who really knows what that even means in this economy sweatdrop).
Hazardous Accidents ABP: 2.4b (No current listings, but this item is hilarious. I had to include it.)
I hope this helps emotion_c8

Ah! You are a wonderful person! I think these should be good. I'm not entirely sure how much we get, but we can definitely get some of these items. o3o
