{{nihongo|'''{{PAGENAME}}'''|ノルシュティン・ベッケラーの実験小屋|Norstein Bekkler's Circus Tent of Experiments}} is a location in {{CT}}. Located in [[Leene Square]] during the [[Millennial Fair]] of the [[Present]], this carnival attraction is home to the magician, Norstein Bekkler.
'''Norstein Bekkler''' is a character that appears in [[Chrono Trigger]]. He resides at the [[Tent of Horrors]] at [[Leene Square]] when the [[Millenial Fair]] is being held.


==Norstein Bekkler==
==Mini-game==
'''Norstein Bekkler''' is a mad-scientist-turned-entertainer. Not much is revealed about him, except that he exists somewhat outside the reality of the game. His creations can be delivered to the characters' homes, regardless of where in history those homes are.
Bekkler hosts a mini-game where people can pay 10, 40, or 80 [[Silver Points]]. Paying 10 Silver Points results in playing a game where Bekkler will call in three soldiers who tell the player their tells, shuffle around, and then are to find the soldier Bekkler tells them to find. Picking the correct soldier results in a [[Poyozo Doll]] being sent to that character's house, and cat food sent to [[Crono's House]] after obtaining that character's Poyozo Doll. Paying 40 Silver Points results in playing a game where the player has to mimic the moves a clone of that player does. The reward for successfully mimicking all the moves is a doll that looks just like the character being sent to their house. Paying 80 Silver Points results in playing a game where the player has to save another party member from being burned by fire while also having to defeat three [[Kilwala]]s. The reward for successfully saving the character from the fire and defeating the Kilwalas is a cat being sent to the character's house.


==Tent of Horrors==
==Assisting with Crono's resurrection==
Bekkler hosts a mini-game where people can pay 10, 40, or 80 [[Silver Point]]s.
When the party want to resurrect [[Crono]], [[Belthasar]] tells them that a "doppel doll" would work well and tells them that the magician Norstein Bekkler could make one for them and tells them that he loves festivals. If they can find a fair, then they will find Norstein Bekkler somewhere at that fair.


===Guessing Game===
The party head to Leene Square where the Millenial Fair is being held and visit Norstein Bekker's Tent of Horrors. He tells them that he does not normally give out another person's doll, though he will make an exception this time. He asks for 40 Silver Points to play a game and tells them that he will give them the doll even if they lose the game. However, the longer they last in the game, the less he will ask for. Once the party finishes the game, he rewards them a doll that looks just like Crono and sends it to his house.
Costs 10 silver points. Three identical men - Vicks, Wedge, & Piette - come out on stage. They then walk around back and forth, mixing themselves up. Afterward, you will be asked to find one of the three at random. Picking the right one will reward you with a [[Poyozo Doll]], which is delivered to the lead character's home. The doll is actually a music box that plays the character's theme.


===Copycat Game===
==Trivia==
Costs 40 silver points. An animated duplicate doll of the team lead walks out onto stage. The character must then mimic the actions of the doll: raise left arm, raise right arm, laugh, surprise. Keeping up will award the lead character with the [[Doppel Doll]]. (This is important later in the game when the team needs a duplicate of Crono.)
* [[Nobuo Uematsu]] appears in the [[Dream Team]] ending as Norstein Bekkler.
* The houses for each character are:


At the character's house, the doll can be put into one of many poses for your amusement.
:{| class="wikitable"
 
! Character
===Beanbag Throw===
! House
The hardest of all games, this costs 80 silver points. One of your team members is tied up and held over an open flame by a slowly-descending chain. A trio of [[Kilwala]]s slowly walk toward you. You must throw beanbags at the monsters to hold them at bay, waiting for a chance to hit the control that raises the chain and keeps your ally from being roasted. If the monsters catch you, they will keep you from raising the chain and your ally is toast. Winning the game awards you with a pet cat.
 
The rewards are all returned to the character's house, located:

NOTE: If you already have the prize for a game in the Tent of Horrors, you are rewarded with cat food for your pet cat(s). This lets your cat have kittens.
==Assisting with Crono's resurrection==
When the party want to resurrect [[Crono]], [[Belthasar]] tells them that a "doppel doll" would work well and tells them that the magician Norstein Bekkler could make one for them and tells them that he loves festivals. If they can find a fair, then they will find Norstein Bekkler somewhere at that fair.
The party head to Leene Square where the Millennial Fair is being held and visit Norstein Bekker's Tent of Horrors. He tells them that he does not normally give out another person's doll, though he will make an exception this time. He asks for 40 Silver Points to play a game and tells them that he will give them the doll even if they lose the game. However, the longer they last in the game, the less he will ask for. Once the party finishes the game, he rewards them a doll that looks just like Crono and sends it to his house.
It is revealed that they needed the doll to replace Crono with during the moment of his death, so it would appear to their past selves that he had indeed died, thus maintaining their past selves' motivation to bring Crono back, avoiding a time paradox.
==Trivia==
* [[Nobuo Uematsu]] appears in the [[Dream Team]] ending as Norstein Bekkler.
* Biggs and Wedge, from the Guessing Game, are probably allusions to Biggs and Wedge from Final Fantasy VI, who are themselves allusions to characters of the same name from ''Star Wars''. In the original US translations of both ''Chrono Trigger'' and ''Final Fantasy III''', Biggs was referred to as Vicks. Piett is another ''Star Wars'' reference.
