Event Mechanics

The Cursed Mutation Event features 15-minute Cursed phases every 3 hours: map darkens to red-black with wall symbols and a giant monster head over the tunnel; Brainrots spawning on the red carpet conveyor have a chance for the Cursed Mutation (red-black corrupted textures, energy aura, 9x income). The hourly Cursed Spin Wheel rewards currency, boosters, new cursed gears, and a rare Cursed Secret Block (opens for random Cursed-mutated Brainrots). Collect 75% unique Brainrots with Cursed Mutation for the Cursed Index base skin unlock. Admin Abuse at launch spawned various Lucky Blocks (Mythic, God, Admin) and hazards. Mutation inheritable via fuses; replaces Radioactive permanently.
