Introduction
You may or may not have noticed that it's Halloween soon! This most certainly calls for a contest of some sort. A few people suggested a minigames contest, and some members I spoke to on the chat loved the idea. So, here it is.
The Theme
You probably noticed in the introduction (or the banner), that the theme of this contest is Halloween. You'll need to make a minigame with a Halloween theme to it.
A minigame is a small map that can be played and finished within a few minutes. It's relatively active and has a very brief (if any) storyline. Characters aren't developed much. The minigame may support any number of players.
