How to Earn Candy Corn
Candy Corn is the primary event currency used at Halloween Market shops. Here are all the ways to earn it:
Witch's Cauldron Contributions
The Witch's Cauldron in the middle area allows players to donate any crops from their garden. Once the cauldron fills to 100%, all contributors receive Candy Corn rewards. The amount of Candy Corn you earn depends on your position on the cauldron leaderboard higher contributors get more rewards. Top contributors also earn bonus rewards, including extra Spooky Eggs and Pumpkin Crates.
Pro Tips
- Submit as many crops as possible to rank higher on the leaderboard
- Any crops work focus on quantity for efficient farming
- After rewards are distributed, the cauldron enters a 2-minute cooldown before the next round
- Players can spend Robux to speed up filling (check in-game for current pricing)
Jack-O-Lantern NPC
The Jack-O-Lantern NPC spawns on the right side of the Witch every 2 hours and stays for only 10 minutes. Interact with it to receive Candy Corn and other exclusive rewards. The rewards are similar to the Witch's Cauldron, but there's a chance the Jack-O-Lantern gives nothing instead, making this method riskier.
- Only available for 5 minutes every 2 hours act fast!
- Set a timer to catch the spawn window
- Rewards may include Candy Corn, Spooky Eggs, or Pumpkin Crates
- Sometimes gives no rewards at all

Grave Digger Minigame Guide
Digging is a new mechanic added in Part 2 of the event (Ghoul Garden), offering some of the most valuable Halloween rewards.
How Grave Digging Works
The Grave Digger event appears on the right side of the Dead Tree NPC every 2 hours and stays for 30-60 minutes. Players interact with the Scream-ven (or Doug Graves) NPC to access a 5×5 grid of 25 squares.
You start each session with 10 digs, and digs regenerate at 1 per 5 minutes. Players must dig at least 4 treasures, with a maximum of 7 per session.
Digging Strategy
- Start with corner squares, they have a higher probability of containing reward edges
- When you uncover part of a reward, dig adjacent squares to reveal the complete item
- Once all treasures are collected, players can reset the gravesite for 1,000,000,000,000 Sheckles or 59 Robux
How to Get More Digs
Each dig costs one shovel. Here's how to maximize your digging:
Natural Regeneration: 1 dig automatically refills every 5 minutes during the event
Robux Purchase: 59 Robux refills 5 shovels
Dig Trinkets: The Dig Trinket (mythical rarity) grants 1 extra dig when equipped and used. There's a 23.81% chance of obtaining it from Halloween Gear Boxes
Dead Tree Quests
The Dead Tree appears in place of the Witch's Brew every 8 hours and lasts for 4 hours. It offers players timed quests similar to the Prehistoric Event's Dino Quest.
Dead Tree Quest Rewards:
- Weeping Branch (0.5% drop rate) the ultimate reward that gradually mutates nearby plants through three stages: Wilted, Withered, and Desolate
- Halloween Gear Boxes
- Exclusive Halloween seeds
- Access to premium reward pools
The Dead Tree and Witch alternate every few hours throughout the event, so monitor in-game timers to catch both rotations.
Best Halloween Pets
The Spooky Egg (23.26% drop from Grave Digger) contains five Halloween pets: Bat, Bone Dog, Spider, Black Cat, and Headless Horseman.
Top-Tier Halloween Pets
Hex Serpent (2.33% drop from grave digging) Requires a Hex Circle cosmetic beneath five single-harvest plants and performs ritual consumption every 12 minutes for tiered rewards based on input rarity. Best farming pet in the game with significantly boosted rewards.
Crow Provides permanent 1.5x growth speed boost to all spooky plants within 32.77 studs. Essential for Halloween seed farming.
Goblin Adds trollish transport mechanics, scooping up other players every five minutes purely for entertainment.
Ghostly Dark Spriggan Available from the 400 Robux Twilight Pack, doubles radius to 50 studs and increases Blight mutation chances to 30%. Worth the investment for serious mutation farmers.
