About this Event
When the Dungeon Throws a Party, Try Not to Die on the Dance Floor.
THE BUTCHER'S MASQUERADE is a Halloween dance party inspired by Dungeon Crawler Carl, the beloved LitRPG series by Matt Dinniman. In Book 5, the Butcher's Masquerade is a peace-sealed ball held in the depths of the sixth floor - a grand, dangerous event where the most powerful crawlers alive eat, dance, and wait for everything to explode.
We're bringing those vibes to Wicked Eden on October 24th, 2026.
