I don't know the fic's title. But I suspect the author borrowed the part about real people with masks stuck to their faces from an episode of the original Twilight Zone tv series.

It’s actually a fic, not a show. I read it around 8 years ago. I’m pretty sure the title was something like “11 down ___” or some other number and down were in the title. It was about a group of people waking up in an unfamiliar place, and they all had masks stuck to their faces. The main character had a jester mask, and everyone called her Jester. Her personality was pretty much like a jester and everyone was pretty annoyed by her most of the time. The other masks were, from what I remember, emotions, like sad, happy, angry. They went through a lot of different areas, I think maybe they were tests or challenges. I remember some party manor, and I think at one point toward the end they were on a giant chess board. I seem to remember some of them dying, and there was an underlying romance thing with Jester and a boy in the group. I think the conclusion ended up being that Jester was actually a toy that the little girl who was tormenting them played with, but the others were all real people, and the place they were in was a part of the girls imagination....... or something like that. I also remember the author released a sort of sequel that I only got a few chapters into reading. I’m sure that I didn’t read it on Fiction Press but that doesn’t mean it isn’t on there. I read it on some app on my phone, maybe Watt Pad. I really loved this work I’m so sad I can’t remember the name. Help?
Solved! It was Down Come Seven by Shayni on Wattpad! I think I read the original but it’s rewritten here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/9855431-down-come-seven-rewrite-2018
