Ready to become The Grand Ghost Hunter? This FAQ is your key to mastery
This section addresses your most pressing questions about winning strategies in the game and crypting your oppressors in the graveyard.
Mastering the Graveyard Bar Game Strategies
Answers to these 10 questions help you navigate the Graveyard Bar’s chaos and become "The Grand Ghost Hunter."
How are competition and cooperation balanced in the Graveyard Bar game?
You’ll play with other players in joint gathering efforts, but you must also be ready to betray them at a moment’s notice to secure your personal victory.
What’s at stake in the game?
The Bounty Coin shows how much bounty you earned. This is the only measure of success.
What is the most significant difference between strategies?
The choice lies between modest, low-risk returns in Mixed Collecting, high-value, strategic disruption in Triumphant Assembling, and the even riskier, but more rewarding Accomplished Gathering.
Is there any risk in the Alliance Rally?
The Alliance Rally is a low-risk cooperative event.
How should I time the use of the Serial Killer card?
In the mid-game, you can use it to “kill” the event, especially when you do not have the appropriate cards to participate. This disrupts opponents and removes a valuable card from play. In the end-game, use it for the Killer’s Trick to avoid paying the final fine for cards left in hand.
How important is tracking Out-of-Play Ghosts?
It is crucial. Keep track of the Ghost cards that have been tombed, and those that have escaped to the Bar.
When is the best time to announce the one-time trade?
The best time is when you are one card away from completing a high-value combo, and suppose one of the players holds it.
What can I see, observing my own and other players' Hunter boards?
The personal board helps you to track progress and plan strategies. Observe other players’ boards and act to prevent them from obtaining end-game rewards.
Should I use the John Doe card during the game, or save it for the end?
The John Doe card’s highest potential lies in the Last Call phase, when you can initiate The Impostor’s Hit to collect three coins (“Royal Tax”) from every other player. Using it mid-game to complete combos is also possible without sacrificing the potential because there are four John Doe cards in the deck.
What is the best strategy in the Last Call minigames?
The end-game minigames are tricky thanks to the special abilities of certain Ghost cards, which act as “saviors” against two opportunistic actions, intervening and fining opportunists on five coins. Against the Impostor’s Hit, hold the King card. Against The Last Bandit’s Strike, use the Pirate card.
Crypting your Oppressors
In the Graveyard Bar, you can turn your real-world headaches into spectral memories. Here is everything you need to know about the ritual of crypting.
What exactly is "crypting"?
Crypting is a ritual offered by the Graveyard Bar, which acts as a psychological transfer of power away from your real-life stressors and oppressors.
Who are the best candidates for the crypting ritual?
You can crypt anyone you would like to “bury” metaphorically, such as bad bosses or annoying authorities, officious politicians, or dishonest partners.
How do I choose the right "Spirit Archetype" for my oppressor?
Match your ill-wisher to the archetype that best describes their behavior:
Damned Royals are dominators who demand unearned loyalty.
Evil Spirits are opportunists who “drink your blood” and change their mood rapidly.
Cursed Spirits are “slowcoaches” who insist on tyrannical, outdated rules.
Mad Scientists are transmuters who expect you to work for their delusional ideas without pay.
Cannibals are predators who stir up hostility and treat others as prey.
Hexed Spirits are “spiders” who use gossip and conspiracy to damage your reputation.
Why do I provide my email?
You provide your email to receive prize notifications.
What happens if the Wheel favors me?
If luck is on your side, you receive a success message and a link to your prize.
What should I do if my tribute is rejected?
If you fail, you might receive a message like “Tribute rejected.”
How can I get a "second round" with destiny if I lose?
You can ask the Bartender for a second attempt. Don’t forget to drop $5 into the Tip Jar. Alternatively, you can “Recruit a Soul” by using a unique UTM link to bring a friend to the Bar.
Can I share information about crypting on social networks?
Sure. You can share all details on social networks. Beware of spiteful politicians.
What is an appropriate form for sharing?
The phrasing recommended is: “The Tab is settled. The soul is crypted. Another ghost put to rest. Thanks for the sanctuary, #GraveyardBar.”
Can I modify the ritual at my own discretion?
You are free to do whatever you want.
