Rules
⛓️Each clown has specific chains and/or tasks that need to be completed.
Examples:
1. Create a chain of 3 using titles consecutively (ABC)
-All the Light We Cannot See
-Becoming Mrs. Lewis
-Catching Fire
2. Create a chain of 3 with "dog" in the titles
-Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike
-The Dog Stars
-Hot Dog Girl
⛓️One person should NOT complete a whole chain by themselves. This is a team challenge. However, if a clown has multiple chains and a slower reader can only/want to only read for 1 or 2 chains (they must read at least one), then the other two faster readers on the team can complete the other chains between the two of them.
⛓️You may choose which clown from the list to capture first but you MUST complete it BEFORE starting a new clown.
⛓️You may use or drop articles: A, An, The
⛓️Standard Rules Apply
⛓️Since you have chosen to play non-competitively, you will play a self-paced game. You may choose to stop any time you want or continue until you have completed all clowns.

Sweet Tooth



Marcus "Needles" Kane, commonly known as Sweet Tooth, originally appeared in the Twisted Metal video games series before making his debut on the Twisted Metal television series. He wears a clown mask and carries a machete. He is notably missing his trademark flaming hair for most of the series, although it does appear at one point.

Sweet Tooth escaped from the Blackfield Asylum when the apocalypse started. He settled in Lost Vegas with his best friend Harold, an inanimate paper lunch bag. He rides around in an ice cream truck and rides around the city as a notorious serial killer feared by many. He is psychopathic while having a sense of humor. He likes to perform but expects total honesty from the crowd. He will murder those who betray or cross him.

Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books set during an apocalypse
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books with ice cream on the cover
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books tagged humor

Pennywise (IT)


IT is a shapeshifting creature from the species known as Deadlights. IT arrived on Earth in an event similar to an asteroid impact landing in Derry, Maine. Once people settled here, IT adopted a 25-27 year hibernation, waking to kill and eat.

Its true form seems to be a female spider but it can morph into any human animal, nonhuman animal or object, and any combination thereof. There are benefits to this ability because IT can manipulate its targets by appearing as loved ones to lure them into traps or as their worst fears. It's favorite form is that of a clown named "Pennywise" because small children love clowns. At the same time, many people fear clowns.

IT feeds on humans but prefers children as they are easier to scare and manipulate. According to the creature, frightened flesh tastes better and uses fear to "salt the meat".

To capture IT, he must be in his clown form or he will trick you. You must force him into his clown form BEFORE you chain him up. Spell out CLOWN. Then complete the chains below.

Killjoy is a clown-like demon that is the end result of black magic on behalf of tragic individuals who sought love and closure but instead became victims of violence and injustice before being reborn by Killjoy's magic.

Thus, Killjoy was born and began to murder everyone he came across, prone to driving an ice cream truck.

Hi, I am helping Donna out by dropping off tasks. I can't edit the spreadsheet, but I can assign tasks. No pictures either, as they are creepy.

Stitches

Stitches is a birthday clown who is late to a birthday party, where he was hired to entertain some 10-year-olds. One of the children ties his shoelaces together in a prank leading to his death. A group of clowns use his clown egg to perform a ritual resulting in Stitches returning to life six years later. He is determined to exact revenge on the teenagers who contributed to his death.

Complete the following tasks
Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books with 10 intact in the page count (example 210 pages or 108 pages)
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books with a teenage MC
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books where someone celebrates a birthday
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books with the author's initials in STITCHES

Art

Art is a demonic killer clown who is mute and mimes. He only appears on Halloween nights to wreak havoc and torture. He appears in all black & white carrying a black trash bag with various crude weapons. His face is painted pale white, while his eyes, mouth, and eyebrows are painted black. He wears a white bald cap on his head, complete with a small black hat strapped to the top.

Art is extremely dangerous. He slaughters nearly everyone he encounters. He has supernatural abilities and can induce paralyzing fear in his victims. He will chase, stalk, and terrorize his victims. Then he decides whether to sadistically mutilate them or spare their lives, leaving them with the trauma he has inflicted on them. He never speaks but he will mime screams of pain when injured. Art is very theatrical while killing in a very animated and comedic manner. He silently laughs during his sadistic pursuits. When cornered, he does exhibit cowardly tendencies. He will cheat or shoot himself rather than deal with the police. His arrogance does tend to crumble when the odds shift and victims fight back.

Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books with white covers (minimum 50%)
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books with a hat (or more) on the cover

The museum has many strange exhibits and oddities including the famous Murder Ride. A few incidents happened here at Captain Spaulding's.
