Carnival of Carnage is a Valve-made Special Delivery map, released as part of the Scream Fortress VI update on October 29, 2014. It is a "haunted" version of Doomsday.

The objective is carry a briefcase full of tickets to The World's Largest Strongman Machine on the opposite side of the map and insert it into the spectral lock at the top, all while Merasmus makes snarky comments at you. At the beginning of the round, Merasmus will request that you collect the tickets so that you can buy entry to The World's Largest Strongman Machine while simultaneously working to kill the other team in an attempt to appease the bloody desires of Bonzo, the evil circus god! Once either team has placed the tickets at the top of the machine, both teams will be pulled into violent bumper car duels.

Once in a Bumper Car Arena, the teams are pitted against each other in one of three possible competitions. These competitions consist of "Falling Platforms" where the last team with a player remaining on an increasingly smaller arena of intermittently falling platforms win, "Bumper Car Soccer" where both teams try to push a giant beach ball into their opponents toothy goal and the first to 3 points wins, and "Duck Collectors" where large number of ducks will intermittently spawn on a large figure 8 shaped race track and the first team to collect 150 wins. The bumper cars are controlled with the directional and jump keys, with the option to activate a speed boost with the alt-fire key. Any player hit by another car will receive damage and be knocked back. The more damage a car has, the farther it will be knocked back. If a player is knocked off the map, they will become a ghost. Ghosts are capable of flight via the jump key, and can be turned back into bumper cars if they fly back to the arena and touch another player on their team.

During the initial battle for the briefcase of tickets, Merasmus may summon all players to The World's Largest Strongman Machine and put one of three temporary Curses on all players. These Curses are "Underwater" (all players can swim about the entire map, including all the way up to the top of the skybox, and all water weapon rules apply), "Big Head" (all players heads are filled with helium, leading to the ability to jump higher and float slowly down), and "No Guns" (all players are limited to melee weapons and have the Shrinking Spell applied to them).

Similar to all past Halloween maps, there are pumpkin bombs. There are also spells spawning on various locations on the map like Helltower, although the spells look like glowing crystal balls this time around.

Bugs

  • It is possible to build a teleporter in the small rooms behind the spawn rooms, thereby gaining access to said rooms. This may have been intentional as there are some details that can only be seen from within these rooms (e.g. spooky eyes in blue pit).
  • If Merasmus casts a Spell on the entire map (i.e. Underwater, Big Heads, and Melee Only) at the same time as the transition to the Bumper Car part of the map is triggered, the Spell will carry over to the Bumper Cars. This can lead to odd situations like "Underwater Bumper Cars!" where the cars can "swim" upwards to any point on the map. The Spell will not end until the Bumper Cars segment ends as the ending timer for the Spell is kept on the main map.
