We'll make the choice for you. Coming as a group? Try the Acrobats, Trapeze, or Clown factions to have the best chance of sticking together. Coming on your own? Take a look at the Small Stage, Side Shows, and Outcasts if you want the best chance to meet new friends. 🎪 THE FACTIONS: Clowns, Acrobats, Side Shows, & Outcasts! Get ready to take the stage! Calling all Lion tamers, magicians, and tightrope walkers to the Small Stage. Maybe your time to shine has finally arrived. ​Next we’re looking for the Side Shows, the Fire breathers, stilt walkers, sword swallowers, and strong men. The circus couldn’t run without you! Here comes the Trapeze Troupe! It looks like they are one member short tonight; I wonder where he could be. Look who’s Clowning around! The juggler is out of the car first, followed by the slapstick clown, the mime, and, would you look at that, even the sad clown is smiling! Flipping onto the stage next are the Acrobats. They’re always so synchronized! They are even coughing in sync; it’s too bad they’ve been so sick lately.​ Oh, and there’s the contortionist, the carnie, the puppet master, and that guy who gets shot out of a cannon. They won’t be around much longer, just a bunch of Outcasts on their way home. Come for the party, stay because you're now a person of interest. 🍸🔪 Want to hear about the next night?
