HALLOWEEN 2022 EVENTS ARE HERE!
Halloween Plaza 2022
The plaza is decked out for another spooky Halloween event!
Enjoy the haunted festivities by collecting remains, finding pumpkins, and unlocking various Halloween exclusive items. Be sure to check out the Ghoulcery, because it is back again with new items for you to spend your Ghoul Coins on. And, if you search the coast line, you’ll see that a maze has once again surfaced to be explored!
New Additions!
The unknown can be one of the scariest concepts in existence, so we’ve once again added several new additions to the Halloween Plaza for you to explore this Halloween!
Halloween Achievements, EXP & Milestones are back
Last year we added various Halloween-exclusive achievements, EXP, and milestones, and they're back again this year. Participate in quests and scavenger hunts throughout the plaza to earn them, and be sure to check them out in your collection book, too! You can earn Halloween EXP for participating in Halloween events such as Halloween minigames, collecting candy or remains, completing Halloween achievements, and completing Halloween quests!
As you increase your Halloween EXP, you can unlock Halloween milestones such as throwable blood wine and a drivable Minecart!
Return of the Ghoul Coins
While playing games in Tower Unite during this year's Halloween event, you'll earn exclusive Ghoul Coins. These coins can be redeemed in the Plaza for Halloween items. You can earn them by playing Plaza minigames or Game Worlds, as well as in the Arcade and through Fishing!
Halloween Minigames
The Plaza minigames have not been left out of the Halloween fun. Participate in the Ghost Hunting and Pumpkin Smash minigames on the Event platform, and you will uncover a lot of pumpkins along the way!
