What is the Halloween Shop?

The Halloween Shop is part of the Trick or Treat update that launched on October 18, 2025, marking the first part of a three-part Halloween event series in 99 Nights in the Forest. You access the shop by talking to Happy the Halloween Guy, a pumpkin that looks like a stick-bug, found in the lobby. The shop contains 14 items total, with six available at launch and the remaining eight rolling out across the event period, with two items made available every two days. You purchase items using candies, which are the limited-time side currency introduced specifically for this Halloween event.

Event Timeline & Updates

The event started on October 18, 2025, and is expected to run until around November 15, 2025, spanning three parts: Part 1 (Trick or Treat) launched on October 18, Part 2 (Potion Making Update)

Items with a clock icon disappear when the event ends. Items without it stay permanently.

How to Access the Halloween Shop

Talk to Happy, the Halloween Guy in the lobby, to unlock the Halloween shop interface. When you first interact with Happy, you can obtain 3 Candies for free by choosing specific dialogue options in this exact order: "I have a question", "Who are you?", "How do you stay so happy?", "Way too deep, man. Can I have some candy?" This is a one-time reward, so make sure you follow the sequence correctly.

How to Earn Candies

There are multiple ways to farm Candies during the Halloween event. Here's every method available:

Trick-or-Treating NPC Houses

First, obtain a Halloween Candle from Cultist drops or chests. Locate a house in the forest by following decorations like pumpkins and spider webs, or check the map for Grey Hut icons with a Candy symbol. Drop the Halloween Candle near the door to "light up" the house, which can be done anytime. At night, knock on the door and the resident will decide on a "trick" or "treat" after a short delay. You'll receive Candies regardless of the outcome: 3 standard, or 4 with the Trick or Treater class. Houses reset after a while for replayability.

Treats give you guaranteed Candies plus potential bonuses like items or buffs. Tricks are minor pranks that last around 5 seconds but still award Candies, including effects like all items in your sack dropping, the screen covered by a pumpkin, a metal ball chained to your leg, being transformed into a frog, or getting flung away from the house.

Finding Lobby Candies

You can find Candies in your in-game lobby before starting your game by checking all the corners, behind the Scarecrow NPC, and the Update Sign Board. These candies spawn once in a while after each game, so always do a quick sweep of the lobby between runs.

Collecting Halloween Candles

Halloween Candles drop from Cultists you defeat or appear in Chests scattered across the forest. Drop rates improve with survival nights, meaning the longer you survive, the better your chances of getting candles. To farm candies efficiently, start by getting the Volcanic Biome spawn, then upgrade your armors and weapons to focus on killing the Cultists scattered across the Volcanic Biome, and make sure to open Chests and defeat Cultist Raids.

Redeem Event Codes

You can redeem the code "happyhalloween" for 10 candies. Keep an eye on the game's social media for additional codes that may be released during the event period.

Best Strategy to Maximize Candy Gains

1- Focus on longer survival runs. Candle drop rates improve with the number of nights you survive, so pushing deeper into runs gives you better farming efficiency. Target the Volcanic Biome for Cultist farming since they're concentrated there and easier to hunt in groups.

2- Don't ignore lobby spawns. Between every run, do a quick lap around the lobby to grab any spawned Candies. These free pickups add up over time and require zero effort.

3- Budget your spending carefully. Calculate how many Candies you need for time-limited items first, then decide what to spend on permanent decorations. The Skeleton Wolf costs 500 Candies, which requires visiting around 125-167 houses, depending on your class, so plan accordingly.

4- Time your Trick-or-Treating strategically. Going trick or treating during Cultist raid night will ensure that The Deer will not attack the player as long as the raid has not been defeated. This gives you safer windows to collect Candies without the main threat.

5-Coordinate with friends in multiplayer. Have some players focus on hunting Cultists for candles while others handle house lighting and Trick-or-Treating. Division of labor speeds up the entire process.

Tricks are minor pranks that last around 5 seconds, but you still receive Candies regardless. The pranks are temporary annoyances, not actual penalties.

Conclusion

The Halloween Shop in 99 Nights in the Forest offers limited-time content worth grinding for. Start by grabbing the Trick-or-Treater class immediately to boost your farming speed by 33%, then decide whether you want to save up for expensive cosmetics like the Skeleton Wolf or focus on collecting the full furniture set. Remember that items with clock icons will disappear after the event ends around November 15, so prioritize those first. Use the Volcanic Biome strategy to farm Cultists efficiently, don't forget lobby candy spawns, and redeem the "happyhalloween" code for a free 10 Candies. With three weeks to participate and new items dropping every two days, you have plenty of time to collect everything if you play consistently.
