Learn how to participate in haunt.gg events.

## Event Types
haunt.gg events currently use **three main formats**:
- **Profile Submission**
- **Guess the Number**
- **Quick Click**

All events take place in our [**Discord server**](https://discord.gg/hauntbio). Before you join, please read the [**event rules**](./rules) and keep an eye on the `#event` channel for announcements.

### Guess The Number
1. **Start Message**

   When the event starts, the bot sends a message in `#event` with the game details. The channel is hidden whenever no event is currently running.
   
       The message usually includes:
       - **Guesses per user**
       - **Time limit**
   
       > [!NOTE]
   > An event organizer may also share extra instructions.

2. **Guessing**

   Press the **Guess** button to submit your number. Your attempts may be limited, so make each guess count.
   
       Hints may appear while the event is running, so keep watching the channel.
   
       > [!NOTE]
   > Additional guess attempts might be granted during the event, but you should not expect them.

### Quick Click

In **Quick Click**, participants must press a button as fast as possible after it appears. The fastest reaction time wins, and some rounds can have multiple winners.

1. **Start Message**

   When the event starts, the bot posts a message in `#event` with the round details. The channel is hidden whenever no event is currently running.
   
       The message usually includes:
       - **The time window when the button(s) can appear**
       - **The number of winners**
       - **Whether there will be one button or multiple buttons**
   
       > [!NOTE]
   > If the timer says `3 min`, the button can appear at any moment within those three minutes. It does not mean it will appear exactly after three minutes.

2. **Clicking**

   There are **two Quick Click formats**:
   - **Single Button:** One button appears, and the first person to click it wins.
   - **Multiple Buttons:** Several buttons appear in different colors, but only one is correct. The bot tells you which one to press.

3. **End**

   The button stays active for around 10 seconds. After that, the round ends, the bot announces the winner or winners, and the button(s) are disabled.
   
   A **top 10 leaderboard** is also shown together with round stats.

### Lucky Seven

In **Lucky Seven**, you try to predict which number from **1 to 7** the bot will generate each round. The closer your guess is to the winning number, the more points you earn.

**How the game works:**

- Each round shows **7 buttons** labeled **1** to **7**.
- You usually have around **3 minutes** to submit your guess, though the exact round length can be configured for each event.
- You can only submit **one guess per round**.
- After you click a number, the bot confirms **ephemerally** that your answer was counted.
- You **cannot change** your guess after submitting it.
- The winning number stays hidden until the round ends, so everyone has the same fair chance.

**Point system:**

- **Exact match (distance 0):** 20 points
- **1 away:** 15 points
- **2 away:** 10 points
- **3 away:** 5 points
- **More than 3 away:** 0 points

1. **Start Message**

   When the event starts, the bot posts a message in `#event` with the game details. The channel is hidden whenever no event is currently running.
   
       The message usually includes:
       - **The number of normal rounds**
       - **The length of each round**
       - **When the first round starts and how long the breaks are between rounds**
       - **The point system**
       - **Bonus round information**, including the chance of a bonus round and the maximum number of bonus rounds
   
       > [!NOTE]
   > There is also a button to toggle round pings. This is useful if you want to be notified when each round starts without having to watch the channel the entire time.
   > You do not need round pings enabled to participate, but they make it easier not to miss a round.

2. **Normal rounds**

   In every normal round, the bot **randomly** generates a number from **1 to 7**.
   
   You choose the number you think will be selected by clicking one of the seven buttons. After you submit your guess, the bot sends an ephemeral confirmation that your answer was counted.
   
   The winning number and your distance from it stay hidden until the round ends. This keeps the round fair for everyone.
   
   You cannot change your guess after submitting it.

3. **Bonus rounds**

   Bonus rounds work the same way as normal rounds, but they are worth **more points**.
   
   The chance of a bonus round appearing and the maximum number of bonus rounds are announced at the start of the event. Bonus rounds are counted **separately** and do not replace any of the normal rounds.
   
   In bonus rounds, all points are **doubled**. You can also still earn points even if your guess is **4 away** from the winning number, which is not possible in normal rounds.

4. **Round End**

   After each round ends, the bot posts a message showing the correct number, the leaderboard, and round stats.

5. **Game End**

   After all rounds are finished, the bot posts the final leaderboard and overall event stats.
