What is the 99 Nights in the Forest Halloween Event?
The 99 Nights in the Forest Halloween event is a special seasonal update that brings trick or treating mechanics to the popular Roblox survival game. This event transforms the regular gameplay into a festive spooky experience where players can collect limited-time rewards that won’t be available after Halloween ends.
The Halloween update is divided into three parts, with the Trick or Treat event being the first major release. During this event, the game lobby gets a complete makeover with eerie decorations, glowing pumpkins, and spooky music. The main feature allows you to visit special NPC houses scattered throughout the forest to participate in trick or treating activities.
This Roblox Halloween event runs from November 18 to November 15, 2025, giving you plenty of time to collect all the exclusive rewards. However, since the items are limited-time, it’s important to start participating as soon as possible to unlock everything before the event disappears.
How to Get Halloween Candles in 99 Nights in the Forest? (November 2025)
Halloween Candles are the most important items you need for the trick or treat event. You must have these candles to light up NPC houses before you can knock on their doors. Without candles, you can’t participate in the Halloween event activities.
There are four main ways to get Halloween Candles in 99 Nights in the Forest:
Killing Cultists
The best way to get Halloween Candles is by killing Cultists throughout the map. When you defeat a Cultist, there’s a chance they’ll drop a Halloween Candle. The drop rate is very low during the first few days, but it increases significantly after Day 4.
For the best results, head to the Volcanic Biome where Cultists spawn in large numbers, especially inside buildings. The more days you survive, the higher the candle drop rate becomes. After Day 4, and especially during Cultist raids, you can get 3-10+ candles from a single stronghold run.
Opening Chests
You can also find Halloween Candles by opening regular chests scattered across the map. However, this method is much more difficult because chests contain many different items, making the candle drop rate very low. Still, it’s worth checking every chest you find since candles can appear in any chest type.
Completing Cultist Strongholds
Finishing a Cultist Stronghold is one of the most reliable ways to get multiple Halloween Candles at once. The more strongholds you complete, the more Cultists will appear in future raids, increasing your chances of getting even more candles. This method becomes especially effective after Day 4 when Cultist activity increases.
Participating in Cultist Raids
During Cultist Raids at night, you have a good chance of getting Halloween Candles. These raids typically drop 1-5+ candles depending on how many days you’ve survived. The raids become more frequent and rewarding as you progress further into the game.
Pro Tips for Candle Farming
- Use the Cyborg Class for high damage and AoE attacks to kill Cultists faster
- Equip good armor like Obsidiron Body or Cyborg Armor to survive Cultist attacks
- The Volcanic Biome has the highest concentration of Cultists for farming
- After Day 4, focus on Cultist activities for the best candle drop rates
- The Trick or Treater class increases your candle drop chance
How to Trick or Treat at NPC Houses?
Once you have Halloween Candles, you can start the trick or treating process. This is the main activity of the Halloween event and how you’ll earn most of your candies. The process is straightforward but requires specific timing and preparation.
Finding NPC Houses
NPC houses are scattered throughout the forest and are marked on your map with a gray hut icon that has a candy symbol. There are 10 different types of houses you can visit, each with its own unique NPC:
- Green House – Viridial (Dev)
- Blue House – Cracky4 (Dev)
- Purple House – Foryxe (Dev)
- Black House – Crossbow Cultist
- Dark Red House – Melee Cultist
- Brown House – Pelt Trader
- Orange House – Furniture Trader
- Cyan House – Bird Watcher
- Lime House – Alien
- Fairy House – Fairy
You can identify these houses by their Halloween decorations, including pumpkins and spider webs. The Fairy House only spawns during nighttime, making it extra special for the Halloween event.
Lighting the Houses
To activate a house for trick or treating, you need to light it with a Halloween Candle. Approach the house and drop one candle near the door. The candle will automatically light up the house, preparing it for the nighttime activity.
Each house requires exactly one candle to activate. You’ll receive a notification when a new house becomes available for lighting, so always check your map for gray hut icons with candy symbols.
The Nighttime Requirement
You can only trick or treat during nighttime in 99 Nights in the Forest. This is a crucial rule – no matter how many houses you light, you must wait until night falls before you can knock on the doors.
The game follows a day-night cycle, so you’ll need to be patient and wait for darkness. Use this time during the day to collect more candles, prepare your equipment, and plan which houses to visit when night arrives.
Knocking and Receiving Rewards
When nighttime finally comes, approach any lit house and knock on the door. The NPC inside will think for a few seconds before deciding whether to give you a treat or play a trick on you.
Treats: When you receive a treat, the NPC rewards you with candies (usually 2-5 per house) and sometimes additional items like:
- Fuel Canisters
- Carrot Cakes
- Pumpkins
- Weapons (Laser Cannon, Raygun, Frozen Shurikens)
- Armor (Frog Boots)
- Currency (5x Mossy Coins)
- Special items (Basketball, Seasoning)
Tricks: If the NPC decides to trick you, you’ll experience one of several temporary effects:
- All items in your sack drop to the ground
- Your screen gets covered by a pumpkin
- A metal ball chains to your leg, slowing you down
- You transform into a frog and get flinged away when the effect ends
- You get flinged away from the house
The good news is that trick effects only last about five seconds and are mostly harmless. You’ll still receive 3 candies even when tricked (4 candies if you’re using the Trick or Treater class).
Best Ways to Get Candies Fast?
Candies are the main currency for the Halloween event, and you’ll want to collect as many as possible to buy exclusive items from the Scarecrow NPC shop. Here are the most effective methods for farming candies quickly:
Trick or Treating Strategy
The primary way to get candies is through trick or treating at NPC houses. Each house you visit at night will give you 2-5 candies, depending on whether you receive a treat or trick. To maximize this method:
- Light multiple houses during the day so you can visit them all in one night
- Use the Trick or Treater class to get 4 candies per house instead of the usual amount
- Focus on houses that are close together to minimize travel time
- Revisit the same houses on subsequent nights after they reset
Hidden Lobby Candies
Don’t forget to check the main lobby for hidden candies! These spawn in specific locations and respawn periodically, making them an easy source of free candies. Look for candies:
- Behind the update signboard
- Inside pumpkins near the Halloween NPC (Scarecrow)
- In corners and hidden spots around the lobby area
These hidden candies are easy to collect and add up over time, so make it a habit to check the lobby whenever you’re in the game.
Cultist Farming
Some Cultists drop small amounts of candy when defeated, in addition to the chance of dropping Halloween Candles. While this isn’t the most efficient method, it’s a nice bonus when you’re already farming Cultists for candles.
The Volcanic Biome remains the best location for this strategy, as it has the highest concentration of Cultists and the best drop rates after Day 4.
Event Chests
Special event-themed chests can appear during the Halloween event, and these have a chance to drop large bundles of candy. These chests are rare but worth seeking out when you find them, as they can significantly boost your candy collection.
Pro Tips for Candy Farming
- Use the Trick or Treater class for 4 candies per house instead of the usual amount
- Check the lobby daily for hidden candies that respawn
- Focus on the Volcanic Biome for both candle and candy farming
- Play with friends to cover more ground and light houses faster
- Prioritize houses that are close together to maximize your nighttime visits
What Can You Buy at the Halloween Shop?
The Halloween shop is managed by the Scarecrow NPC and is located in the game lobby. This is where you’ll spend all the candies you’ve collected during the event. The shop contains exclusive seasonal items that are only available during the Halloween event.
Finding the Scarecrow NPC
The Scarecrow NPC is easy to spot in the Halloween-themed lobby. Look for a large scarecrow character surrounded by Halloween decorations. The shop is usually near the center of the lobby, making it accessible for all players.
Trick or Treater Class
The most valuable item in the Halloween shop is the Trick or Treater class, which costs 30 candies. This limited-time class comes with special perks that make the Halloween event much easier:
- Level 1: Gain 4 candies per house you visit (instead of the usual 2-5)
- Level 2: Higher chance of receiving Treats instead of Tricks
- Level 3: Increased drop rate of Halloween Candles
This class is essential for anyone serious about maximizing their Halloween event rewards, as it significantly improves both candy collection and candle acquisition.
Available Items and Costs
The Halloween shop contains a variety of exclusive items with different candy costs:
| Item | Cost (Candy) | Description |
| Trick or Treater Class | 30 Candy | Unlocks the limited-time Trick or Treater class |

- You won’t be able to use any of these items once the event concludes
The shop will also receive updates throughout the Halloween season, with 8 additional items scheduled to release in parts two and three of the Halloween update. Make sure to check back regularly for new content!
Frequently Asked Questions
When did the Trick or Treat event start in 99 Nights in the Forest?
The Trick or Treat event began on November 18, 2025, as part of the first Halloween update. The event will run until November 15, 2025, giving players nearly a month to collect all the exclusive rewards before they disappear forever.
Where can I find Halloween Candles easily?
Your best chance for finding Halloween Candles is by defeating Cultists in the Volcanic Biome or looting chests near Cultist Camps after Day 4. The drop rate increases significantly as you survive more days, making the Volcanic Biome the most efficient location for candle farming.
Are the Trick or Treater class and Candy items permanent?
No, both the Trick or Treater class and all candy items are temporary and exclusive to the Halloween 2025 event. Once the event ends on November 15, 2025, these items will disappear from your inventory and become unavailable until next year’s Halloween event.
What’s the best class for farming candles?
The Cyborg Class is considered the best for farming Halloween Candles due to its high damage and AoE (Area of Effect) attacks from the Laser Cannon. This allows you to kill Cultists much faster, increasing your chances of getting candle drops. However, once you unlock it, the Trick or Treater class becomes the best choice as it increases your candle drop rate.
How long do the trick effects last?
All trick effects from NPC houses last approximately five seconds. These effects include being turned into a frog, getting a prison ball attached to your leg, having your screen covered by a pumpkin, or getting flinged away from the house. While annoying, these effects are temporary and won’t significantly impact your gameplay.
Can I trick or treat during the day?
No, you can only trick or treat during nighttime in 99 Nights in the Forest. Even if you light houses during the day, you must wait until night falls before you can knock on the doors and receive rewards. Use daytime hours to prepare by lighting multiple houses and collecting more candles.
What happens to my candies when the event ends?
All candies and items purchased with them will disappear when the Halloween event ends on November 15, 2025. There’s no way to keep these items after the event, so make sure to spend all your candies before the deadline to get the most value from your participation.
