Candies are the essential currency for the Halloween Shop, and there are multiple ways to collect them:
The main way to earn Candies is by trick-or-treating at NPC houses throughout the forest. Here's the complete process:
Before you can trick-or-treat, you need Halloween Candles. These can be obtained through:
Pro Tip: The Candle drop rate increases significantly after Day 4, especially following Cultist attacks on your camp. The longer you survive, the higher your chances of finding Candles. For best results, hunt Cultists in the Volcanic Biome where they're more abundant.
Once you have Candles, approach any of the 10 different houses in the forest and follow these steps:
Important: Each house requires one Candle to light up. After trick-or-treating at a house, you'll need another Candle to use it again the following night.
When night falls, knock on the doors of lit-up houses. The NPC inside will decide whether to give you a "treat" or play a "trick" on you:
Treats (Rewards you can receive):
Tricks (Temporary effects):
Good News: Even if you get tricked, you'll still receive 3-4 Candies depending on your class. Trick effects typically last only 5 seconds.
Before starting a game, check these specific lobby locations for free Candies:
These Candies respawn after you complete a game and return to the lobby, making it worth checking each time.
Use active 99 Nights in the Forest codes to receive bonus Candies. Check the official Discord and social media channels for the latest working codes.
Talk to the Pumpkin Reaper NPC in this specific order to receive 3 Candies (one-time reward):
There are 10 different houses you can trick-or-treat at, each with unique NPC residents:
| House | Resident | Special Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Green House | Viridial (Dev) | Developer house |
| Blue House | Cracky4 (Dev) | Developer house |
| Purple House | Foryxe (Dev) | Developer house |
| Black House | Crossbow Cultist | Usually near Dark Red House |
| Dark Red House | Melee Cultist | Usually near Black House |
| Brown House | Pelt Trader | Trading NPC |
| Orange House | Furniture Trader | Trading NPC |
| Cyan House | Bird Watcher | Special NPC |
| Lime House | Alien | Special NPC |
| Fairy House | Fairy | Only spawns at night |
Pro Strategy: The Black and Dark Red Houses are always located near each other since both are owned by Cultists. This makes them efficient to visit together.
While tricks are temporary, they can be disruptive:
