2024-11-01 00:21:59 +0000 UTC by QuietDove
Autumn is here, the nights are drawing in, and there is a sinister feeling in the air...
Once again we invite you all to join in with the spooks and frights of our Halloween event, if you dare...
To experience our little brand of trick and terror, visit the warp areas in your capital — and remember — don't worry about those shapes in the darkness.
The Corn Maze Direct Link
"They say that if you close your eyes and listen closely, you can hear the chilling sound of children laughing in the corn fields..."
A mother has lost her son. She says that he has run into the corn. Perhaps you could be of help finding him? We wish you the best of luck, because you wouldn't be the first to lose their way inside this maze.
Midnight in Gaipan Direct Link
"Something is afoot in the usually sleepy village of Gaipan. The Festival of Sun Li is normally a time for celebration, for it marks a time when the spirits meet the living.
This time, something has gone horribly wrong. The benevolent spirits are no where to be seen. In fact, no one is to be seen, the town is nearly deserted. Let us pray that you don't meet the same fate..."
The dead have risen from the earth. Put them back where they belong, before you join them. They say that familiar faces have been spotted amongst the walking dead. Just who could they mean by that?
Candy, meant to be enjoyed by those at the festival, has been dropped all over the village. Gather as much of it as you can — you never know what rewards await you.
Sweet Tooth Dungeon Direct Link
"Candy, dropping from the ceiling!"
Take the fast way down the pit. Just be sure to survive the landing, and enter the maze.
"Candy, in a dungeon?.."
This maze has been created just to torture you, full of treasures, tricks and traps.
Don't give up when investigating the catacombs. Find the extra lotus tiles and be rewarded if you make it to the exit of the maze.
Ghost Island Direct Link
A seasonal quest returns this year.
When Watt's nephew goes missing on a deserted island, he enlists the player's help to find him. Tread carefully; unspeakable horrors happened here, and the spirits are restless. One more thing: try not to stare into the dark too long. The dark might stare back, and you'll find out what kind of thing goes bump in the night.
The Village Ghosts Direct Link
This haunting quest is back for your enjoyment.
A simple delivery job looks easy enough, but not everything is as it seems...
Across The Bridge Direct Link
An unseasonably large pumpkin has grown across the bridge of Gaipan. No doubt that dark and evil forces are at work. Investigate this massive gourd and discover its secrets.
Inside you will find Bwake's Maze of Horrors. Watch your sanity as you try to reach the end — ten candies await you if you do!
There's more to see in this area. The Great Pumpkin Hunt is exactly what it says on the tin. Seek out the hidden pumpkins, and gain a reward.
There are two achievements for completing the tasks in this area: Bwake's Maze of Horrors and The Great Pumpkin Hunt. Both offer 5 candy upon completion.
Cosmetics Direct Link
After gathering enough candy in the event — and stopping the mayor dead in their tracks — you will be able to spend your precious candy on some suitably spooky cosmetics.
