Understanding the Jack-O-Lantern NPC

Jack-O-Lantern Rewards:

Frequently Asked Questions
How often do Halloween shops appear in Grow a Garden?
Halloween shops appear every hour for exactly 15 minutes during the Ghoul Garden event. Set alarms to ensure you don’t miss these limited-time shopping opportunities, as missing a window means waiting another full hour.
What’s the best way to earn Candy Corn quickly in Grow a Garden?
The fastest way to earn Candy Corn is by contributing your highest-rarity crops (Transcendent and Divine) to the Witch’s cauldron. These fill the cauldron much faster than common plants, earning you 25 Candy Corn plus bonus items like Spooky Eggs and Pumpkin Crates each time you complete a fill.
Which Halloween pet should I prioritize in Grow a Garden?
Prioritize the Ghost Bear pet (70 Candy Corn) as it’s essential for creating Spooky Mutations on your regular crops. This allows you to create valuable Halloween-themed plants for Jack-O-Lantern trades even outside market hours, significantly increasing your Candy Corn earning potential.
How long does the Grow a Garden Halloween event last?
The Ghoul Garden Halloween event runs from October 11 to October 18, 2025, with Part 2 expected to arrive the following week, bringing additional items and mechanics. Make sure to collect all desired items before the event ends, as these limited-time offerings won’t be available again until next year.
Can I buy Halloween shop items with Robux instead of Candy Corn?
Yes, most Halloween shop items offer both Candy Corn and Robux purchase options. However, the Robux prices are significantly higher (typically 5-10x the Candy Corn value), so it’s generally more efficient to earn Candy Corn through event participation rather than spending Robux.
What happens if I miss the Jack-O-Lantern NPC appearance?
If you miss the Jack-O-Lantern NPC, you’ll need to wait another 2 hours for the next appearance. During this time, continue contributing to the Witch’s cauldron and preparing Halloween crops with mutations so you’re ready when the Jack-O-Lantern returns.
Are Halloween event items permanent once purchased?
Yes, all Halloween seeds, pets, cosmetics, and gear items purchased during the event are permanent additions to your inventory and will remain available after the event ends. Only the shops themselves and the ability to earn Candy Corn will disappear when the event concludes.
How do I get the Great Pumpkin Seed in Grow a Garden?
The Great Pumpkin Seed is available from Sam’s Seed Stall in the main lobby, not from the Halloween Market shops. This special seed can produce plants with the Ghostly Mutation, making it valuable for Jack-O-Lantern trades throughout the event.
Conclusion
The Grow a Garden Ghoul Garden Halloween event offers an incredible opportunity to collect exclusive spooky seeds, pets, and decorations before they disappear for another year. By following this comprehensive guide, you’ll maximize your Candy Corn earnings, strategically shop the limited-time markets, and complete all event achievements.
Remember to set alarms for the hourly shop appearances and bi-hourly Jack-O-Lantern visits, prioritize essential items like the Ghost Bear pet and Jack-O-Lantern seeds, and take advantage of the mutation system to create valuable Halloween crops. With proper planning and strategy, you’ll build the ultimate spooky garden and collect all the limited-time rewards before the event concludes on October 18.
