# Temple Fair: Games, Daily Paper, Merit Roll

> Tianyun Temple is more than a temple: ring toss, pachinko, capsule toys, the Empress of Heaven Daily, the merit roll, fireworks and sky lanterns — the full guide.

Tianyun Temple is a living online temple: worship by day, night market by night; today's news in tomorrow's paper. This guide walks you through everything worth doing inside.

## Night market games earn coins

The courtyard night market has ring toss, pachinko, a sausage stall, goldfish scooping and a balloon stall. Playing earns coins, and coins buy outfits, hats and accessories for your character. Each stall has its own leaderboard waiting for you.

## The Empress of Heaven Daily

The temple publishes a daily paper: how many worshippers came yesterday, who won the fireworks top prize, who broke a game record, and the list of sponsors. Your deeds may make tomorrow's headline.

## The merit roll and vow wall

Worshippers who donate in thanks are entered on the merit roll by the chairman, and the hall has a wall of thanksgiving images sent in by people whose wishes came true.

## Fireworks, lanterns and red envelopes

The chairman occasionally sets off fireworks (with custom text), releases fifty sky lanterns at once, and drops red envelopes. Each person can grab three — first come, first served. Festivals are usually busiest.

## Frequently asked questions

### What are coins for?

Outfits, hats and accessories, so you stand out in a crowded courtyard. Coins are earned through games and events; there is no purchase.

### Where is the daily paper?

Look for the newspaper icon in the main hall. The latest issue is generated from yesterday's real site data, different every day.

### How do I get on the merit roll?

The chairman enters names, usually during temple events. Worshipping faithfully day to day is the most real merit of all.
