How to play it
In our own words, from our seed check (the original post has the finder's own notes).
- Ante 2: Invisible Joker is card 2 in the shop queue, so it's on display in the first Ante 2 shop. Hanging Chad is card 4. Telescope is the Ante 2 voucher.
- Ante 3, shop before the Big Blind: the Arcana Pack has The Soul, which gives Perkeo.
The poster's plan: The poster skips the Ante 3 Small Blind for the Charm Tag (a free Mega Arcana Pack) and finds Perkeo there. Our check doesn't cover tag packs. It finds Perkeo in the Ante 3 shop pack listed above.

What the post claimed
The original poster says this seed has Perkeo.
- Perkeo: Checked.
- Perkeo - Arcana Pack in the Ante 3 shop before the Big Blind (from The Soul) (Ante 3)
Caveats
- The post didn't name a deck, so we checked Red Deck.
- The post didn't name a stake, so we checked White Stake.
- Skipping a blind also skips the shop after it, so later shops change if you skip or reroll differently.
- Seeded runs don't count toward unlocks or achievements.
How this seed was checked
This run was verified by BalatroBuddy on v1.0.1 (checked 2026-10-28) on Red Deck at White Stake.
Run Settings Note: The original community post did not specify the deck or stake. BalatroBuddy checked and verified these seed mechanics using Red Deck and White Stake.
What was verified: Shop contents, pack offerings, skip tags, and boss blinds for Antes 1-8.
Nobody at BalatroBuddy has played these seeds yet: every route here is worked out from the game's seed logic, not a human playtest.
We work out Antes 1-8 for the posted deck and stake from the game's seed logic. A seed is verified when every item in the post title shows up in a pack, a voucher or the first few shop cards. We leave playing-card ranks in Standard Packs off, because we can't confirm them reliably. Results assume every Joker is unlocked.
