In this special February edition, the month in which we celebrate Valentine's Day on February 14th, we want to highlight not only the passion for the game but also those who make it even more magical. After all, love is also an adventure, and when it comes to magic and mystery, no one shines as brightly as this couple! Always together, exploring, facing challenges, and deciphering riddles, they show that love is the best buff a player can have!
So, let this story inspire everyone! Whether in real life or in the game, may we all find someone to share respawns with, collect rewards, and, above all, share laughter and unforgettable adventures.
Unlike many couples in Tibia who opt for traditional combinations like knight and druid, Bugadiinha and Bugadiinho both chose magical paths: she as an Elder Druid and he as a Master Sorcerer. This choice allowed them to develop a unique synergy, facing the game's toughest challenges together. Their shared passion led them to actively participate in our riddle events.
Don't know what our riddles are? Before we get to know Casal Mage, here is some information about our events. These riddles not only test participants' knowledge and creativity but also promote camaraderie and a healthy competitive spirit among Tibians who visit our website.
- Frequency and Publication: Each event consists of 10 riddles published weekly, specifically on Sundays and Wednesdays during the server save time (10 AM CEST). Participants have 24 hours to submit their answers via the website's comment section.
- Participation and Requirements: To participate, players must provide the correct answer along with their character’s name, ensuring they are at least level 50 and their information is not hidden on Tibia.com. It is essential to correctly answer at least one of the first three riddles to secure a spot on the event's participant list.
- Scoring and Prizes: Each correct answer earns one point. At the end of the event, those who accumulate a minimum of 8 points out of 10 qualify for an exclusive Tibia Coins lottery. Additionally, trophies of excellence and rune emblems are awarded to the top three, along with extra Tibia Coin rewards for other standout participants.
- Discord Account: Starting from event 48, having a Discord account and being part of the TibiaGoals Discord server is mandatory. This rule is necessary to ensure effective communication regarding our riddles and to maintain direct contact with lottery winners. In previous events, prize selection communication took too long, delaying the reward process significantly.
Outside the Virtual World: Priscila (Bugadiinha) and Rafael (Bugadiinho) enjoy activities that strengthen their bond. They love spending time with family, going out to eat together, shopping, traveling, and attending Sunday mass. Priscila has developed a passion for creating amigurumis—those charming crochet dolls that have gained popularity in the Tibian community. Rafael, on the other hand, has a passion for music and singing, having been part of his church’s worship group.
Getting to Know Casal Mage:
To delve deeper into their story and learn more about this charming couple, we asked a few questions
1. Can you share your real names and tell us a little about yourselves outside the game?
We are Rafael and Priscila, Brazilians from the state of Goiás, but currently living in Rondônia. We are both lawyers and have a beautiful 7-year-old daughter named Rebeca.
2. How did you meet, and what role did Tibia play in your relationship?We met in 2012 at law school. At the time, he had stepped away from the game to focus on his studies, but during our relationship, he would tell me many stories about his Tibia adventures with his IRL friends. I knew nothing about the game, but after hearing so many fun and entertaining stories, I asked him to install it on my humble laptop and teach me. From then on, we started playing together.
3. How do you balance your professional and personal life with your passion for video games?Since the beginning of our relationship, we have been very private and home-oriented. We never enjoyed going to bars or clubs; we always preferred staying home, ordering delivery, watching a series, and enjoying each other’s company. Since we share the same love for the game, it was never a big challenge. Moreover, we can do much of our work from the computer, which makes balancing our routine even easier, both in real life and in the game.
4. What do you like to do in your free time when you're not playing Tibia?We enjoy outings with our daughter. Here, there are many rivers and fishing spots, which she loves. I think most kids love being in the water, haha. We also enjoy binge-watching series and anime.
5. Do you have any special traditions or activities you enjoy doing together as a couple, besides playing Tibia?We love traveling as a family, and during special occasions, we celebrate with a barbecue—our favorite meal.
6. How do you plan to celebrate Valentine’s Day this year?The most important thing is being together, but this year, we want to do something different. However, it's still a surprise.
7. What is the most memorable Valentine's Day gift you have given or received?
Priscila (Bugadiinha): He always makes sure to surprise me, even though I insist he doesn’t have to. I don’t remember exactly if I received anything for this occasion since it's not widely celebrated in Brazil, but he has surprised me with amazing in-game gifts like the Crackling Egg, the Ferumbras’ Hat, and, more recently, Bunny Slippers. My first and only attempt to gift him something in-game ended in disaster—I accidentally sent the gift to the trash instead of the mailbox! I was so upset, but he comforted me, saying he didn’t care about gifts and that we should go hunting since we were already late, hahaha.Rafael (Bugadiinho): The greatest gift I always receive is her presence and affection.
8. What message of love or affection would you like to share with other gamer couples on Valentine's Day?
Regardless of what happens in the game, remember that true strength lies in mutual support. As a couple, always support each other, because it is in unity that we find the strength to overcome any challenge, both in the game and in life. Together, you are unstoppable!
9.What inspired you to start participating together in TibiaGoals riddles?
Priscila (Bugadiinha): It hasn't been long since I joined the adventures and challenges of fansites. I always admired Luna as a beautiful and cute item, until I truly got to know TibiaGoals and its administrators. From there, I started to admire the fansite even more, not just because of its fansite item, but for the dedication and love everyone has for the game and the care they show for the community. So, I decided to dedicate myself and support the fansite in my own way, by being active as part of this wonderful community. I started participating alone but always tried to involve Rafa somehow, as we already did everything together in the game. So why not bring him into this side of the game too? Soon, he started having fun and now always participates in the riddles. Sometimes he forgets, hahaha, but he’s always back for the next challenge.
10. Do you have any particular strategy or method when tackling a new riddle?
First, each of us tries to solve the challenge alone, since we also have our own little internal competition, hehe. Later, we compare what we think the correct answer might be, discuss, and share our perspectives until we reach a conclusion. In the end, we just hope it's the right answer, haha.
11. What has been the most challenging riddle you have faced together, and how did you overcome it?
In general, the most difficult ones are the “spot the difference” challenges. Once, we had one where we identified all the differences except one. In the end, we discovered that it was a slight color variation in an item, which was not visible on our monitor. We spent the entire day searching and couldn't find it. We even ended up putting down a random answer just to submit something. However, when we were about to submit our answers on the website, we saw that an administrator had explained that this tiny difference wasn’t visible to everyone due to variations in monitor resolutions and that it wasn’t necessary to mention it to get the answer right.
12. How do you handle differences of opinion when you disagree on a riddle solution?
If we don’t come to the same answer, each of us submits our own. The fun part of riddles is that even if you get one or two wrong, you still have a chance to participate in the lottery with one or two tickets. In the end, what really matters is having fun while trying to solve the challenges.
13. How do your playstyles complement each other?
We are always looking for new ways to evolve in the game, making our characters stronger and more complete. We aim to collect addons, mounts, quests, achievements, and, of course, level up—all while exploring every aspect of Tibia to fully enjoy the experience.
14. Do you have any goals or achievements in Tibia that you are currently pursuing together?
Currently, we have created a new character from scratch on a new server, challenging ourselves in ways we never have before—such as obtaining duplicate achievements. It has been a very challenging experience, especially because the server has a different PvP system than we are used to. And once again, we are starting fresh, which brings a new perspective and new learning experiences with every step.
15. Have you met other couples or players through your participation in riddles?
Through riddles, we’ve met several incredibly smart and fun people. However, at the moment, I can’t recall any couples who actively participate. Sometimes, it’s hard to identify couples in the game, as few use matching names like we do, hehe. But in the end, what matters most is having fun and fostering a great team spirit in the game!
16. What advice would you give to other couples who want to participate in riddles or play Tibia together?
Just join in, and you’ll quickly realize how much fun it is to play as a couple! Whether you get the answer right or wrong doesn’t really matter—what’s important is the fun of trying to solve the riddle together. It becomes a very satisfying challenge. Or, if you prefer, you can do what we do and create a friendly competition to see who figures out the answer first.
And remember, don’t get too frustrated if you forget something or miss a lottery—it’s okay! TibiaGoals will always be there, bringing the next riddle for more fun!
17. How do you handle moments of frustration or disagreement in the game?
Just like in real life, there are moments when frustration and stress take over. In those moments, we try to work things out with a good conversation or even step away from the game for a bit to relax and clear our minds. Sometimes, a short break is all it takes to return with a fresh perspective and renewed energy to keep enjoying the experience together.
18. What are your future plans as a couple in the world of Tibia?
When we change servers, our characters end up losing their in-game marriage status, but this year we are excited about our real-life wedding date! We also plan to celebrate that occasion with a wedding in Tibia.
Additionally, we have some projects in progress and others yet to come, but our main focus will always be "charloving" and continuing to grow our characters together—always as a team.
