Investment Tip: Items without clock symbols are permanent investments, while clock-marked items expire when the event ends. Prioritize permanent items unless you specifically want limited-time exclusives.
Many players focus solely on trick or treating and miss the easy lobby candy spawns. Always check behind the Scarecrow and near the Update Board between matches.
Using candles inefficiently can severely limit your candy farming. Only light houses you can access the same night and keep backup candles for optimal houses.
Codes expire quickly and provide substantial bonuses. Check official channels daily for new code releases.
Using inefficient classes for candy farming can reduce your hourly candy yield by 50% or more. The Trick or Treater class pays for itself quickly.
Starting in biomes with low Cultist density significantly reduces your Halloween Candle acquisition rate. Always choose Volcanic Biome for candy farming.

The Halloween event runs in three parts: Part 1 started October 18, Part 2 begins October 25, and Part 3 launches November 1, 2025. Limited-time items with clock symbols will expire when the event ends.
