The 2023 Pride event, titled The Perplexed Poets, is an event that takes place in Old School RuneScape as a promotion of LGBTQIA+[a] inclusivity. It is the third Pride event in the game's history.

Players can start the event by speaking to Bethan, Gregory, Tabbitha, or Quinton in the Blue Moon Inn in southern Varrock. The holiday event icon displays the location of the event on the world map and minimap.

Walkthrough

Speak to Bethan, Gregory, Tabbitha, or Quinton in the Blue Moon Inn. They are attempting to write poems for their crushes to invite them to the upcoming pride march, but are having difficulty. Agree to help them, then talk to each of them, who will give you their poetry scroll. Read each incomplete poem, then talk to them again; players will be given two options to choose from for each phrase.

The following table shows the correct phrases to use:

Poem Line 1 Line 2 Chat options
The fly Riverbank (Chat 1•2)
Spring Soil (Chat 2•2)
Teller's booth Shines (Chat 2•1)
Guard Protect with my life (Chat 1•2)

After filling out all four poetry scrolls, talk to Annie, who will then notice something appearing just inside Blue Moon Inn. Speak to the fairy, who will reveal herself as the Spirit of Love. She will join you in helping the poets invite their crushes to the pride march. Speak to any of the poets, who will give you new scrolls with riddles on the back, leading you to four locations where they will confess and invite their crush.

Note: You cannot have a pet out to view the cutscenes for the NPCs below.
