The Forge Events Schedule: Halloween Update Countdown and What’s Next
The Forge is in the middle of its Halloween Update, the seasonal event that also brings the game’s new Guild System online. It went live on October 20 and is set to run until the afternoon of November 7, giving players a few weeks to collect candy across every island and trade it in for limited-time rewards. This page lays out what is running now, what is scheduled next, and the exact windows for each.
The Forge is one of the platform’s bigger experiences by the numbers. Lifetime, the mining-and-forging RPG has passed about 1,000,000,000 visits and about 1,000,000 favorites, with about about 8,800 people in the game right now. The Halloween Update alone has drawn a large crowd: roughly about 100,000 players have signed up to be notified, more than any other event on the calendar right now.
A second wave, billed as Halloween Second Week, is scheduled to open on October 27 and continue the Pumpkin Night content before it closes at the start of November. The exact start and end times for everything are in the schedule below. Last updated October 25.

Current and upcoming events
Halloween Update and the new Guild System
The headline event is the Halloween Update, which the team is running alongside the debut of Guilds. The Halloween content is playable on every island: you gather candy as you go, then spend it in a limited-time Halloween shop on rewards available only during the event. The Guild System is the larger long-term addition, letting players band together and progress as a team rather than grinding solo. The developer has also said more surprises are being held back, with the details to land in its Discord and the in-game mailbox.
It opened on October 20 and runs until 3:55 PM ET on November 7, which leaves over a week left from today.
Halloween Second Week continues Pumpkin Night
Next up is Halloween Second Week, a continuation of the game’s Pumpkin Night content. It is scheduled to open on October 27 at 2:00 AM ET (11:00 PM PT on October 26, 6:00 AM GMT) and runs through October 31, closing as November 1 begins. The studio is holding back the specifics for now and has only teased that something new is on the way. Even unannounced, it is drawing a strong response, with roughly about 88,000 players already notified.
Because this stretch is explicitly labelled the second week, the Halloween content is being rolled out in stages rather than all at once, so it is worth watching the dates above as each wave opens.
