Asylum Life’s Halloween update features the FIND 20 HIDDEN PUMPKINS mission, which awards 1,000 Candy. Search the patient wing, staff sectors, hospital, and locked armory vault for the pumpkins. Ten are accessible to everyone, nine require team access, and the final one appears only during an armory heist.
Quick answer: As a Patient, find 10 pumpkins. Then change to a non-Medical staff team to collect six, switch to Medical for three, and pick up the final pumpkin during an armory heist. Claim your reward under Jobs > Halloween.
Asylum Life pumpkin rules and team requirements
Approach a pumpkin until the [E] Collect prompt appears, then hold the interact key to collect it; it vanishes in a burst of flames. Getting to each one is the challenge: Patient, staff, and Medical teams have access to different rooms, so you’ll need to use the CHOOSE A TEAM menu more than once.
- Staff teams (Orderly, Janitor, Guard) get a uniform and a keycard that opens the restricted barriers.
- Most pumpkins in staff areas are accessible to any staff team other than Medical.
- The watch tower pumpkin needs Guard or Janitor specifically.
- The Geforce Room pumpkin needs Medical with high-level clearance.
- You can find the Secure Storage pumpkin only while an armory heist is underway; heists have a cooldown.
Team changes are disabled during an Infection Event. Its timer begins at roughly five minutes, and infected players who kill you turn you into a zombie when you respawn. Patient areas remain searchable while the event is active, but you must wait until it ends to switch teams.
All 20 Asylum Life pumpkin locations by team
Pumpkins are numbered below so you can track which ones you still need. The order of the table follows the most efficient route: everything a Patient can reach first, then staff, then Medical, then the heist.

Patient pumpkins: 10 you can reach on any team
Start here as a Patient. You’ll knock out half the mission without touching the team menu.
Talent Stage (#1 and #18)
Go to the map’s central area and locate the largest tree behind the Talent Stage. Pumpkin #1 is at its crown; climb by jumping up the tree.
Pumpkin #18 is close by. Walk to the right side of the Talent Stage and look in the pile of autumn leaves.
Painting area and the room above it (#19 and #8)
Leave a Patient spawn room straight ahead to reach the painting area. Near the reception office, Pumpkin #19 is plainly visible on a table between the easels and armchairs.
To find Pumpkin #8, use the stairs to the painting area’s right, then continue right after reaching the top. Find the room whose window is covered by a wooden plank; inside, the pumpkin sits on a bunk bed frame.
Dining Hall, Aven Suites, and Movie Theater (#20, #5, #15)
Go upstairs via the Dining Hall to the outdoor walkway by Aven Suites. Pumpkin #20 rests atop hay bales beside the VIP Gamepass board.
The Movie Theater is near the Top Donators leaderboard next to the Dining Hall. Inside the dark room, Pumpkin #5 glows on the right side of the entrance, by the lounge couch.
Back in the Dining Hall, walk toward the Shop. The Patient Kitchen entrance is on your left. Go straight to the stove, and Pumpkin #15 is inside the oven.
Patient Intake, The Dive, and the Garden (#14, #4, #6)
Find the gym-equipped Patient Intake building beside Personal Belongings Storage. Pumpkin #14 is perched atop the first orange vending machine on the right. Reach it by standing on the blue mat before the machines, or by jumping from a nearby object.
In the Laundromat, use the lock beside the trash cans to reveal a hidden entrance to The Dive lounge. Pumpkin #4 lies on the carpet in the upper-left corner next to a wooden cabinet.
Go into the Therapy area and enter the Garden, the first room on your left. In a corner on the floor, Pumpkin #6 is concealed behind the chairs.
Staff pumpkins: Orderly, Janitor, and Guard
From CHOOSE A TEAM, select Orderly or a different staff team that isn’t Medical. The uniform’s keycard grants access through all the barriers leading to these six pumpkins.
Cubic Reception and Lower Cubic (#2 and #7)
Go to the Sector 3 Cubic Reception. Pumpkin #2 is sitting on the front desk counter.
Take the stairs down from Cubic Reception into Lower Cubic, the corridor that leads toward the Patient Area and Medical Triage. At the end of the pathway, turn left. Pumpkin #7 is on a seat along the left wall, next to the purple sofas.
Maintenance room B1 and Maintenance Access (#16 and #11)
At B1, enter the Maintenance room. Find Pumpkin #16 floating in a smoking witch’s cauldron in the hallway by the UTILITY CORRIDOR sign.
Make your way to the Auxiliary Armory, heading toward the Staff Auxiliary Armory entrance. The room called Maintenance Access is to your left; Pumpkin #11 is on a cylindrical pedestal inside.
Orderly Shop and the watch tower (#17 and #10)
Find the Orderly Shop, run by the Ella NPC, and exit through the door to its right. Pumpkin #17 is on a desk near the main elevator and the Most Monthly Arrests leaderboard.
Only the watch tower requires Guard or Janitor. Enter from the hospital-facing side of the patient area. Climb to the glass control room; Pumpkin #10 rests on the console desk.
Hospital and Medical pumpkins
Any staff role can get into the hospital, so you can grab #3 and #12 on your staff run. The Geforce Room is different, and you’ll need to switch to Medical for it.
Pumpkin #3 is just outside the Brain Scan room, resting on a dark coffin-like container under the UNDER CONSTRUCTION sign.
Go inside the Brain Scan Room. Look within the MRI scanner tube for Pumpkin #12.
Switch to Medical to reach Pumpkin #13, then travel to the Geforce Room, which houses the G-force simulator. You need high-level clearance to enter. Once inside, check behind the machine.
Secure Storage pumpkin (#9) during the armory heist
Many players overlook Pumpkin #9. During an active heist, enter Secure Storage beyond the Staff Auxiliary Armory gate; the pumpkin is atop the gray lockers.
How to confirm pickups and claim the 1,000 Candy reward
A successful pickup produces a burst of flames and displays a counter on screen, for example, “You’ve Collected 7 Pumpkin(s)!” Without that message, the pickup hasn’t counted. Return to the pumpkin and hold the interact key once more.
After collecting all 20, open Jobs and choose the Halloween tab. Select CLAIM for the FIND 20 HIDDEN PUMPKINS mission to receive 1,000 Candy.
