🎃 Halloween Update: Ghoul Scouts and Haunted Trails
Hey everyone! Spooky season is here and so is our biggest update yet . We’ve added a brand new level, costumes with special powers, themed emotes, fresh avatars, and a new quest path to unlock it all. What’s inside New Level: Ghoul Scouts – explore the haunted woods for the first
Hey everyone!
Spooky season is here and so is our biggest update yet. We’ve added a brand new level, costumes with special powers, themed emotes, fresh avatars, and a new quest path to unlock it all.
What’s inside
New Level: Ghoul Scouts – explore the haunted woods for the first time. Don’t get lost out there.
Costumes with abilities – Backpack, Bug Zapper, Shroomfrog - all with special abilities!
Customisation – 3 new emotes, 3 themed profile avatars, and 3 trophy avatars for leaderboards.
How to unlock
Everything is tied to a new limited-time path called Haunted Trails Quest. You’ll find it in the shiny new Story Quests tab on the main menu. Eight quests in total, each marked in a special colour so they stand out. Complete the path to earn costumes, emotes, and avatars. When spooky season wraps up, all rewards move onto the regular Spooky Trail, so nothing disappears forever.
Update your game, head into Story Quests, pick Haunted Trails, and dive into the Ghoul Scouts level with your friends. Start possessing, sabotaging, and trying out the SPOOKY new looks.
Thanks for playing, sharing clips, and sending feedback. We’re having a blast making these updates and can’t wait to see you all have fun with them!

Hey fellow ghouls
The new patch is live today and here’s what’s in it:
Weekly leaderboards are in. Compete for the top spot each week.
Quickplay flow rework. Groups now stay together between rounds. Solos can join games in progress.
Haunt decor is cheaper. Candy prices reduced.

Quality of life. Skippable intro screens. Improved input rebinding. Better region and watermark display.
Each week's leaderboard winner will get to wear the exclusive costume throughout the following week. It’s not a permanent unlock, but a temporary reward that shifts to whoever holds the top spot.
We’re also planning to award a permanent emote as a separate prize for leaderboard winners - more on that soon.
Catch you on the leaderboard.
