Carnival of Carnage est une carte de Livraison spéciale, ajoutée avec la mise à jour Scream Fortress 2014 du 29 octobre 2014. C'est une version "hantée" de Doomsday.
Ayant une jouabilité similaire à Doomsday, l'objectif est de délivrer une malette de tickets à la Strongmann Machine, à l'opposé de la carte, pour ensuite les insérer dans le cadenas spectral, pendant que Merasmus fait des commentaires malicieux à l'égart du joueur. Au début de la partie, Merasmus demandera au joueur d'aller réupérer les tickets pour pourvoir acheter son entrée à la Strongmann Machine, tout en éliminant l'équipe adverses pour soidisant divertir Bonzo, le dieu maléfique du cirque Sumérien! Au fur et à mesure que le joueur passe de rounds en rounds, Merasmus fera d'autres commentaires hargneux adressé au joueur, disant qu'il/elle est stupide de tomber dans ses pièges, tout en "promettant" qu'il ne le fera plus.
Druant la bataille initiale pour la malette de tickets, Merasmus peux parfois téléporter tous les joueurs à la Strongmann Machine tout en leur adressant l'un des trois sorts temporaires. Les dit-sorts sont Submergé (toute la carte est innondée de Jaraté sans la capacité de noyade et les joueurs peuvent nager n'importe où, même aller au sommet de la skybox; en contrepartie, les restricitons concernant certaines armes sous l'eau est appliquée), Grosse tête (La tête du joueur est gonflée d'hélium, ce qui lui permet de sauter plus haut et de ralentir les chutes, ironiquement, le joueur aura aussi une voix plus grave), and Aucun Fusil (tous les joueur doivent alors se rabattre sur leur arme corps-à-corps tout en ayant le sort magique de rétrécissement, sans le bonus de double-sauts infinis. Tous les projectiles ainsi que les munitions des tourelles disparaîtront pendant toute la durée du sort.).
À l'instar des cartes d'Halloween précédentes, des citrouilles ainsi que des sorts seront dispersés un peu partout sur le champ de bataille, excepté que les livres de sorts seront remplacés par des boules de crystal qui auront une couleur spécifique, vert ou rouge, selon la rareté des sorts qu'elles contiennent, comme sur Helltower.
Sommaire
Auto-tamponneuses
Once either team has placed the tickets at the top of the machine, both teams will be pulled into aggressive bumper car duels. 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, with both being affected by the speed of the attacking car. 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. The bumper cars can also pick up one of four spells in crystal balls. These spells are Uber Heal (removes 50% of damage taken, but does not affect surrounding players), Boxing Glove (fires a projectile boxing glove which will launch enemy players and damage them), Parachute (launches the player up into the air and then lets them float down slowly on a parachute), and Bomb Head (The Bombinomicon appears and gives the player a bomb head which will explode and damage the player after a period of time as it does on Ghost Fort. If the player can ram another player before it explodes, the explosion will affect the person being hit instead, usually knocking them back a huge distance as well.)
Once in a Bumper Car Arena, the teams are pitted against each other in one of three possible randomly chosen competitions:
Plateformes Tombantes
The first possibility is "Falling Platforms" where the last team with a player remaining on an increasingly smaller arena of intermittently falling platforms win. If both teams have at least one player remaining on the last platform, or the center platform, the Horseless Headless Horsemann will be summoned to knock players off of said platform until one team is left standing. If the Horseless Headless Horsemann is defeated before one team is left standing another one will be summoned again and again until the objective is achieved. There are no obtainable spells in this minigame.
Football d'Auto-Tamponneuses
The second possibility is "Bumper Car Soccer" where both teams try to ram a giant beach ball into their opponents' toothy goal, with the first team to score three points winning. Alternatively, a team can win by knocking the other team out of the arena. When one team is in match point, Merasmus will announce to the players that he is bored and asks the leading team to hurry up and finish, though there is no time limit after he says so. If any player drives into the goals' up-chuck after a goal is scored into the scored goal the player will be pushed back the opposite direction. Spells are obtainable in this minigame (see above for a listing of spells). If, after a while, neither team has scored, the game will then go into sudden death, where the first team to score a goal wins.
Collecteurs de Canards
The third possibility is "Duck Collectors" where large number of ducks will intermittently spawn on a large figure 8-esque race track, with the first team to collect 200 ducks wins. Alternatively, a team can win by knocking the other team off of the track. If damage is dealt to opposing players' bumper cars, golden "bonus" ducks will fly out of the rammed car and are valued as 2 ducks per golden duck. Spells are obtainable in this minigame (see above for a listing of spells).
If, instead of completing the objective of the minigame, one team instead simply knocks the other team off of the track, Merasmus will comment about the dishonorable win and what he thinks about it.

Contenu inutilisé
- Merasmus has 22 voice lines related to killing and missing with the Necromasher, but none of them used in the game.
- Merasmus' mouth in the misfortune teller machine is set up to move with his speaking, but it's disabled currently.
- Both Merasmus' head, and the misfortune teller machine have an unused Deactivated State.
- The bell on top of the Strongmann game has different unused animations designed for the different heights of the bell named after the signs along the side of the machine, implying that the game was intended to be "playable" at some stages of the development.
Anecdotes
- The bumper car minigames utilize a similar mechanic to that of the Super Smash Bros. series - instead of health points that result in death once depleted, players have a damage percentage that rises upon taking damage, with higher percentages resulting in more knockback, and with the only way to die being to get knocked off the stage.
- The "Shoot The Idiot" and "Raccoon Rampage" shooting gallery minigames both re-use art from the Doom-Mates comic, which was used to set up the 2012 Scream Fortress event. "Shoot The Idiot" uses the image of the RED Soldier from pages 5-7, and "Raccoon Rampage" uses an image of one of the running raccoons from the aforementioned pages. The "Raccoon Rampage" sign features Lieutenant Bites and another raccoon, as seen on the comic's cover. Neither game is actually playable, and only serve as decoration.
- Merasmus got the money to build the carnival by borrowing money from the Japanese Mafia. This is evidenced by him making several comments in-game about how he owes them $12,000 and how they'll break his legs if he doesn't come up with the cash, as well as in the Blood Money comic.
- Behind the wall underneath the platform extending off of the Misfortune Teller machine, there are what appears to be a large button, a coin slot, and a ticket Dispenser attached to an unused part of the full Misfortune Teller machine model.
Bugs
- During the bumper cars soccer mini game, after one team scores the winning goal, it is still possible to hit the ball into the opposite goal causing Merasmus to announce the formerly losing team's victory.
- During the "falling platforms" minigame, players can get stuck to the bounds of the arena. They cannot fall, and if they're the last one alive, other players will respawn above the pit. The only way to fix this glitch is if the player disconnects, or upon round end.
- Additionally; if the player presses the Taunt Menu key (Default bind: G ) before falling off of a track, the Menu will open once the player turns into a ghost. This allows the player to do taunts in ghost form (i.e. Rancho Relaxo or Square Dance).
- If one of Merasmus' curses is cast as the round goes to the bumper cars portion, players will have the spell cast on them, therefore teleporting them to the Strongmann. The round will be unable to continue, as all players will be in the Doomsday portion of the map. You can fix this by scrambling the teams.
- If one of Merasmus' curses is cast just as the round goes to the bumper cars portion, the spell will stay during the minigame. This can lead to odd situations like underwater bumper cars where the cars can "swim" upwards to any point on the map and avoid death. The spell will not end until the bumper cars segment ends.
- The bumper cars have a tendency to flip upside down (especially if the underwater spell continues functioning during the bumper cars mini-game) causing the playermodel to assume a reference pose.
- It's not possible to use the Disguise Kit by selecting it on the weapon category when under the effect of Merasmus's melee-only curse, however, it's possible by pressing the Last Disguise button (Default bind: B ).
- The same thing can be done on any of the bumper cars games.
