How to Trick or Treat in 99 Nights in the Forest & Get Candles

by

The spooky season has officially arrived in 99 Nights in the Forest, and the Halloween Trick or Treat event is now live.

The forests are filled with glowing pumpkins, eerie webs, and mysterious NPC houses that can be lit up for sweet rewards.

This guide breaks down everything you need to know about how to Trick or Treat, collect Halloween Candles, and farm Candies fast in the new Halloween update.

Trick or Treat Event Overview

During the Halloween event, players can visit random NPC houses scattered across the forest and Trick or Treat for Candies.

However, you’ll need Halloween Candles to light up each house before knocking. Once the house is lit, you can interact with it to get Candies or occasionally be “tricked.”

These Candies are used as event currency and can be spent at the Scarecrow NPC Shop in the lobby to buy limited-time Halloween items, accessories, and even new classes.

How to Trick or Treat in 99 Nights in the Forest

1. Wait for Nighttime

Trick or Treating only works at night, so if it’s daytime, you’ll need to wait until darkness falls.

During the day, focus on collecting Halloween Candles from Cultists or chests to prepare for the next night cycle.

2. Find NPC Houses

As night approaches, follow the Halloween decorations like pumpkins and spider webs scattered throughout the forest.

They’ll lead you to NPC houses such as:

  • Fairy NPC House
  • Alien NPC House
  • Ghostly Cabin
  • Pumpkin Dwelling

These locations change each round, and you’ll see a grey hut icon with a candy symbol on your map when a new house becomes available.

3. Light the Houses Using Candles

Each NPC house requires one Halloween Candle to light up. Without lighting it first, you can’t Trick or Treat.

When you get close to an unlit house, press E to use a Candle. Once it glows, the NPC will appear.

4. Knock and Collect Candies

After lighting the house, approach the door and press E to knock. You’ll get one of two outcomes:

  • Treat: The NPC gives you Candies as a reward.

  • Trick: The NPC plays a small prank like turning you into a frog or attaching a Prison Ball to your leg for five seconds.

No matter the outcome, you’ll still get some Candies, so it’s worth it every time.

How to Get Halloween Candles in 99 Nights in the Forest

Before you start Trick or Treating, you’ll need a good supply of Halloween Candles.

These are essential for lighting NPC houses, and they drop from two main sources:

1. Killing Cultists (Best Method)

Cultists are the primary source of Halloween Candles. Every time you defeat one, there’s a chance it will drop a Candle.

  • Early Days: The drop rate is low.

  • After Day 4: Drop rates increase significantly, especially following Cultist attacks on your camp.

Best location: Hunt in the Volcanic Biome, where Cultists spawn more frequently around the old temple and abandoned buildings.

Tip: Use ranged attacks or traps to farm multiple Cultists quickly.

2. Opening Chests

Halloween Candles can also be found inside chests scattered around the forest. However, this method is less reliable since chests have large loot pools.

You might need to open several before finding one Candle, but it’s still a good secondary method when you’re out exploring.

How to Use Candies

Once you’ve collected enough Candies, head back to the lobby area and look for the Scarecrow NPC Shop.

There, you can exchange Candies for exclusive Halloween rewards like:

  • Limited-time accessories and hats

  • Seasonal class unlocks

  • Special event boosts

The more Candies you collect, the more you’ll be able to unlock before the event ends.

Best Tips to Farm Candies Faster

  1. Stay in Night Rounds: Focus your gameplay during night cycles to maximize Trick or Treat opportunities.

  2. Stock Up on Candles Early: Spend the daytime farming Cultists to ensure you always have enough Candles for the night.

  3. Keep Moving: Don’t wait near one house — keep checking the map for new NPC houses that appear.

  4. Play in Groups: Teaming up with others helps defeat Cultists faster and increases overall Candle drops.

Light every house, collect your treats, and enjoy the Halloween magic before the event disappears into the dark forest.
