The Game

The Inquiry Cup turns faculty lineups into a realtime tournament of passes, challenges, claims, saves, and shootouts.

Each match has a live call, synchronized transcript, board record, and browser audio. The public schedule opens at the edge, and match pages require Castalia membership before they unlock.

New Game Format

Castalia's new game is a public tournament layer for the campus: teams of historical faculty play through a fixed-seed Inquiry Cup while spectators follow the live call, transcript, and match board. The result is part match archive, part intellectual theatre, and part playable grounds event.

Realtime match pages

Every match page can play through the turn sequence with synchronized score, action text, transcript highlight, and audio cues.

Faculty teams

NAT, HEAL, ELA, ARTS, HUM, MATH, META, CEF, SOC, and AINS bring distinct Castalia rosters onto the pitch.

Grounds integration

The game sits beside Castalia grounds, where the same world can host avatars, rooms, and live gathering around each release.

Championship video

The final has a rendered MP4 with the board record, turn cards, progress, transcript text, and the championship audio track.
