The Halloween update in 99 Nights in the Forest brings a spooky carnival full of mini-games, candies, and rewards.
Once you survive the first few nights, you’ll unlock access to these carnival activities that make the eerie forest feel a bit more festive.
Here’s a full guide explaining where to find the carnival, how to play each game, and what you get for winning.
How to Find the Carnival in 99 Nights in the Forest Roblox
You can access the carnival starting on Day 3. You’ll see a message pop up that says “The Carnival is in town.”
When that happens, look for the brightly lit carnival tents somewhere in the forest, their location changes with each playthrough, so it’s never in the same spot twice.
You’ll notice various booths, colorful lights, and a few creepy clowns around. In front of the carnival, you’ll also find the entrance to the Haunted Hedge Maze, which you can only unlock after collecting three tickets.

All Carnival Games and Rewards in 99 Nights in the Forest
There are three carnival mini-games you can play: Ring Toss, Basketball, and Shooting Gallery.
Each one rewards you with candies and Carnival Tickets, and you’ll need three tickets total to enter the maze.
1. Ring Toss
In this classic game, your goal is to throw rings onto bottles.
-
How to Play: Aim your throws carefully — each successful ring gives you one point.
-
Goal: Score 3 points to earn 1 Carnival Ticket.
-
Tip: Stand closer and aim slightly above the bottle’s neck for better accuracy.
2. Basketball
A simple but fun test of aim and timing.
-
How to Play: Toss basketballs into the hoop. Each basket gives you one point.
-
Goal: Land 3 successful shots to get 1 Carnival Ticket.
-
Tip: Try a steady rhythm — throwing too fast usually misses.
3. Shooting Gallery
This one’s the hardest, but also the most satisfying.
-
How to Play: Use an Air Rifle to shoot five moving targets.
-
Goal: Hit all 5 targets to earn 1 Carnival Ticket.
-
Tip: The targets move quickly, so lead your shots slightly ahead of their path.
Each game also gives 5 Candies per completion, which you can spend at the Halloween shop for seasonal rewards.
Carnival Tickets and Maze Access
Once you’ve earned all three Carnival Tickets, you can unlock the Hedge Maze entrance located right next to the carnival.

Completing the maze rewards you with the Bouncing Blade weapon, so the carnival games are your first step toward that exclusive prize.
After you unlock the maze, you can still replay the carnival games for candies, but you won’t earn any more tickets.
