Event-Quest: Night of the Candy Monsters

Event-Quest: Night ofthe Candy Monsters


- Time Limited Prizes (one set for each part): costume packs including a Witch, Ghost, Pirate, Zombie and more!

Updating your game is required for this event! Please note that the event will end on Halloween if updated late. Those who updated on the release date or before the 23th of October have been given 9 days to complete the event-quest!

This quest comes in multiple parts, you'll need to wait a day (or more?) between parts. Every part unlocks one of the costume packs.

Note: Speeding up the candies collecting with LPs give the amounts mentioned below, whereas waiting for the collecting to finish results in getting half the candies (as mentioned in the description of the task). The reappearance of monsters also seems inconsistent. (Based on information provided by our forum members).
