Houses will have an opportunity to share their traditions with their members as well as get ready for the first of several house competitions that will occur over the week. While many of these competitions will take place at night, there are others that will occur throughout the day.

A dungeon crawl is when a group of adventurers navigates a maze-like environment. They battle various monsters, loot any treasures they may find, and seek to achieve a particular objective. An adventure may use any object that is on them. This can be a protective amulet that was made during an elective or even the flashlight that was in their day bag.
Furthermore, there are two implementation styles of dungeon crawls. You will have an opportunity to select your preferred style when completing your student parchment forms. The implementation styles are:
- Tabletop Roleplay: The adventure is played out with tokens that represent each of the characters and a map. The players sit around the map.
- Live Action Roleplay: The adventure plays out in the environment. The players serve as their character tokens. They act out their character’s movements and choices.
New or relatively inexperienced to dungeon crawling? Please do not worry! We all were brand new at one point or another. We teach.

A Typical Day
As you delve into the realms of wonder and magic, your chosen career path becomes the compass guiding your adventure. It impacts what classes you will encounter, your starting stats, and even exclusive side quests.
Classes occur across dorms and houses. In addition, the information you glean there will be taken back to your particular dungeon crawl team in your dorm. Friend groups may want to consider branching across different careers to maximize everything that they can learn.
Will you tread the path of magical law enforcement & espionage, becoming a skilled investigator or a secret agent, unraveling mysteries in the shadows?
Perhaps you're drawn to the daring allure of practical arts, where the secrets of forbidden magic unfold, adding an edge of intrigue to your magical arsenal.
If the art of crafting magical wonders beckons you, then artificing is your calling. Shape enchanted objects and mystical artifacts that will become an extension of your magical prowess.
Alternatively, the allure of magical creatures may captivate your heart, leading you to the path of the naturalist. Foster bonds with fantastical beings, uncover their secrets, and embark on a journey where every encounter becomes a magical adventure.
Your career choices are not just a selection of classes; they're the keys that unlock the extraordinary.
Each day tells a chapter in a story. After hearing the story introduction for an activity, the career will have a chance to vote as a team on the level of the difficulty that they would like to try. The level of difficulty does alter the objectives as well as the possible rewards if the team is successful.

The stage is set for an immersive who-dunnit mystery, and the spotlight is on you to become the detective of this magical story. Delve into the intricate layers of each dorm, forging alliances, and unraveling secrets as you strive to identify the elusive 'villain' behind the curse.
It's a race against time, where every clue, every interaction, and every decision brings you one step closer to lifting the veil of mystery that cloaks the academy. Will you uncover the truth and break the curse?
The gathering is a time to do just that. Using the forged memory devices and found clues, you can question them to learn more about the faculty’s history. In addition, you can even go on side quests that venture more into their history.
