Decor Duels Overview

Decor Duels is a new 5v5 PvP non-lethal mini-game that is being introduced in the 12.0.5 patch of the Midnight Expansion (WoW Prop Hunt). In this mini-game you will be playing hide and seek with other players, the hiders will be disguising themselves as everyday items you can see in Silvermoon City while the seekers will be using spells to try and find the hiders.

Each game will have 2 rounds so each player will get a chance to hide and a chance to seek. When the game is completed you will gain a new currency called Illusionary Coins. This new currency can be used to buy new abilities for the mini-game and also some new cosmetic items, toys and a new mount.

How to Start Playing Decor Duels

Players can queue for Decor Duels in 2 different ways. You can either queue from the Group Finder menu under the PvP section or you can speak with Fieldweaver Amolenne who can be found in Falconwing Square in Silvermoon City.

After entering a game you will be placed in a staging area, from here you will be placed on your teams, if you are on the Seeker team you will be able to select what seeker role you will want to play as while inside the staging area. Each seeker role will have different abilities that can be used to find the other players.

If you are on the hiding team you will be randomly given an item that you will be disguised as, after being given your disguise you will have a short amount of time to find a place to hide before the game begins. Be careful not to sit in a single spot for too long as you will start to gather flies and will reveal your position.

To win the Decor Duel all Seekers must find and tag all of the players who are hiding. If any players are still hiding at the end of the round the hiding team will win that round and the second round will begin.

If both teams manage to find all of the players or if both teams manage to evade detection the game will then add together all of the time that players had spent hidden. The team with the highest combined time hiding will win the game.
