The Twisted Masquerade is returning to Dead by Daylight, and the holiday event means players will be on the hunt for invites. These are a key mechanic for the Twisted Masquerade, and tracking them down won’t be easy.

Invitations are hard to come by due to the random rate at which they spawn. What makes them a crucial gameplay feature, however, is that a Dead by Daylight player must use them to reach the end of the match. While they are not required for players to unlock one of the 12 Twisted Masquerade masks before the event ends, they are still useful to use during a game and are tied to completing event rewards to earn the masks.

The invites will appear in the Twisted Masquerade event playlist. Make sure you’re in the queue when you’re in the main menu of Dead by Daylight. From there, choose whether you want to play as a Survivor or Killer. Either option can grab an invite and escape with it at the end of the match. These matches can be a great opportunity to use The Lich against other players.

You can find Invitations spawning on glowing pedestals throughout the competition area. While it may be dark, the bright blue eyes around the base of this pillar and the gold stripes are a good way to spot them. Look for these indicators to track down an Invitation and approach its location. If there is an available Invitation for you, interact with it to receive an Invitation Scroll, which will grant you a charge. These charges can help you try to escape the Killer, making it harder to track you down. These charges will slowly replenish over time.
