Everything live in Gardenview Center for five weeks, from mask abilities and Trick-or-Treat doors to the Soulvester rework and Pumpkin shop.

Halloween has returned to Gardenview Center for five weeks, bringing back seasonal Toons and their Twisteds alongside a brand-new Halloween floor. Version 0.29.1 adds a Haunted Gala floor event that hands out mask abilities, Trick-or-Treat doors on every floor, Golden skin quests, a daily login calendar, and a full rework of Soulvester. The studio laid out the changes in a post on the game’s Discord, and the update is already running inside Dandy’s World on Roblox.

Quick answer: The event runs through November 6, 2026. Earn Pumpkins through runs and daily logins (doubled on weekends), spend them in Gourdy’s Shop before the deadline, and complete the Ribecca and Soulvester Golden Quests for the Golden Skeleton and Golden Knight skins.

Pumpkins reset when the event ends

Pumpkins are the event currency, and they pay for the seasonal Toons and most of the cosmetics. Every Pumpkin balance drops to zero once the five weeks finish, with no carryover to any future event, so spend what you earn before the window closes.

You collect Pumpkins through normal runs and through daily login streaks, and earnings double on Saturday and Sunday. The Bone Needle and Thread trinket now highlights nearby pumpkins and Halloween collectibles every 10 seconds during matches, which speeds up farming while an event floor is active.


Returning Toons and their costs

The event shop once again features Ribecca, Soulvester, Eclipse, and Gourdy. You can unlock these Toons only while the event is running, and their Twisteds appear only during that period. Their costs and unlock conditions are unchanged from last year.

Gourdy’s Shop, new skins, and the Spooky-Time pack

Gourdy’s Shop returns to the lobby with the 2025 Halloween cosmetics plus three new skins priced in Pumpkins and Ichor: Fuzzy Beast Goob, Wicked Stitch Scraps, and Toxic Experiment Waxwell. The shop also stocks five Halloween stickers for Pumpkins with more promised, two new Halloween Profile Prints, and fresh Gourdy Gossip.

Separately, the Spooky-Time Skin Pack Game Pass is available for 200 Robux during the event only (it returns each year). The pack bundles skins for Ribecca, Soulvester, Eclipse, Gourdy, and Connie. A Lost Prince Gourdy Plush has also been added to the in-game Merch Shop, restricted to US players aged 18 and over.

The new Halloween floor and where it spawns

Alongside the returning Halloween floor, a new one is available. At Floors 5, 10, 15, and 20, either floor has a 50% chance to appear. Roleplay Mode also includes both Halloween floors, as well as the Halloween Dandy and Dyle skins.

Look around for orange pumpkin pieces while exploring. They add decorations to your personal lobby, and since this display is client-sided, it reflects your progress alone rather than the server’s.


Haunted Gala masks swap your abilities

The Haunted Gala may begin at any time during a run. Its spooky overlay brings candlelight and smoke to the floor, slightly limiting your vision until the event ends.

Each Toon on the floor is assigned a Halloween Mask at random, based on a select group of characters. The mask grants that character’s stats and both their active and passive abilities until the floor is over. In practice, you use the drawn Toon’s kit in place of your own for that time.


Trick-or-Treat doors on every floor

Trick-or-Treat doors are now found on every floor. Opening one gives you a random Trick or Treat from Dyle, and the result is determined randomly, so you cannot influence whether a particular door gives a good outcome.

Once opened, a door stays locked for the rest of the floor. Use every door you come across before leaving, as each one allows only a single attempt.


Golden Quests and the exclusive Golden skins

A Golden Quest is available for every Halloween Toon, with an exclusive Golden skin as its completion reward. Ribecca’s and Soulvester’s quests went live on launch day, while the other Toons’ quests will arrive later in the event. Gourdy has a separate new quest as well.

Clues toward Gourdy’s quest are tied to a mysterious quest table in the lobby. You assemble it by completing hidden objectives scattered throughout Dandy’s World, collecting the lockbox pieces one at a time.

Soulvester rework and ability buffs

Soulvester lost his passive, and his heart limit dropped from four to three.

StatBeforeAfter
Maximum hearts43
Passive abilityPresentRemoved

His new active, Soul Shield, spends a heart to guard an ally. He teleports in to block the next hit they would take and stuns the attacking Twisted for 1.5 seconds. The guard holds indefinitely until the guarded Toon is hit or Soulvester guards someone else, and he can mark himself when playing solo. He gains a 1-Star speed boost while guarding and a 3-Star boost for 2 seconds after defending. With the Soul Sword trinket equipped he gains an extra heart; that trinket also now applies a 15% speed debuff to any Twisted that damages the user for 30 seconds, and it does not stack. Twisted Soulvester now identifies machines holding Twisted Connie and guards them.

Two other Toons picked up buffs. Ribecca is immune to all applied debuffs (trinkets excluded), and whenever that immunity triggers she instead receives a random buff for 10 seconds, with new immunity visual effects. Eclipse now also briefly highlights all Twisteds on the floor when transforming into a werewolf during blackouts, on top of the existing glow, 2 Stamina Stars, and 20% movement speed boost. A camera bug with Ginger’s ability has also been fixed.


Daily login calendar and dated skin rewards

The Halloween login calendar opens on October 7, and its days follow UTC. Each daily login awards Pumpkins, two distinct Halloween stickers, and two distinct Halloween profile prints.

Earn a unique skin with particles by completing every Calendar Day on a page; the skins are awarded on October 18th and Halloween Day. If you miss a login, you can pay 10 Robux to buy that day back and keep the page on track for its skin.

Lobby decorations, the Dandycorn, and other additions

The lobby is decked out for the season, with Dandy and Dyle in costume. Collecting orange pumpkin pieces across floors fills in your personal lobby decorations, and small lobby interactions, such as lighting the jack-o’-lanterns, also count toward hidden progress.

A Bowl of Dandycorn can show up at random in Dandy’s Elevator Shop as a free item, and grants the new Dandycorn item. Activating it releases a pulse that gives everyone nearby a +15% for 10 seconds speed boost, the same effect as Egg Basket. The Halloween 2026 event also introduces three achievements that can only be earned while it is running, as well as new Toon-to-Toon conversations in which Connie, Ribecca, Soulvester, Eclipse, and Gourdy chat with other characters. New general settings cover stuck Toons and camera detachment, while the Buff/Debuff system now includes status effect radials for event mechanics.

With the clock being the real constraint, prioritize the Golden Quests, the dated calendar skins on October 18th and Halloween Day, and any Gourdy’s Shop stock you want, since any leftover Pumpkins vanish once the event ends on November 6.
