The Halloween event in Plants vs Brainrots runs for a limited window (November 1–8, 2025) and centers everything around a new Candy Corn currency. A haunted house has appeared on Central Island, there’s a Frankenstein-style boss called Big Frank in the update’s cutscene, and a fresh set of brains, plants, and gear round out the drop pool.
Event dates and what’s new
- Dates: November 1–8, 2025.
- Location: Central Island, beside the new haunted house.
- Highlights: Big Frank makes an appearance as a Frankenstein-inspired limited Brainrot; the update adds 16 new brainrots, 5 new plants, and 3 new gear items.
- Level caps: Brainrot Tier Cap increases to 4; Plant Level Cap increases to 10.
- Brainrot of the Week: accessible in your Index (tap the blue book on the left, then Brainrots) to view the featured unit and its rewards.
Candy Corn — how to earn it fast
Candy Corn drops when you defeat brainrots with special Halloween mutations. During the event, these variants show up more frequently and spike during admin-triggered sessions.
- Eligible mutations: Headless, Pumpkin, and CandyCorn.
- Baseline play: mutated brainrots can appear at random while you play; keep clearing waves, and you’ll earn Candy over time.
- Admin events: when an admin-triggered Halloween session is live, spawns with those mutations become common. A progress bar appears at the top of the screen; fill it by defeating enemies to earn Candy and occasional Halloween Card Packs.
- AFK-friendly: because Candy comes from kills, any setup that reliably clears mutated spawns (without leaks) will passively stack currency while you’re away.
Spooky Event Shop — prices, odds, and what to buy
Once you’ve banked enough Candy Corn, head to the shop next to the haunted house on Central Island. These are the three Candy purchases available during the event, with exact pricing and drop odds where applicable.
| Item | Price | Contents / Drop odds |
|---|---|---|
| Candy Spooky Crate | 50 Candy Corn | Witch Potion (10%), Medusa’s Head (15%), Skellini Footera (20%), Halloween Card Pack (25%), Web Grenade (30%) |
| Candy Brainrot Crate | 100 Candy Corn | Headless Horseman (5%), Casketo (20%), Cerebrancio (25%), Skellini Footera (50%) |
| Halloween Card Pack | 150 Candy Corn | Event-limited card pack; examples include Flash Mob, Trick or Treat, Totemic Frenzy, Harvest Moon, Ricochet |
Value notes:
- If you want a guaranteed Halloween Card Pack, buy it directly for 150 Candy Corn.
- If you’re comfortable with variance, the 50-Candy Spooky Crate has a 25% chance to drop a Card Pack and can pay out useful gear even when it doesn’t.
- The Candy Brainrot Crate is the path for themed units like Headless Horseman, but its top drop is rare at 5%.
Spooky Plant Crate (Robux) — what’s inside and how limited it is
A separate, limited Spooky Plant crate sits in the middle of Central Island. It’s a Robux-only purchase and isn’t tied to Candy Corn.
| Crate | Price | Contents / Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Spooky Plant Crate | 249 Robux (1), 699 (3), 1999 (10) | Includes Cursed Pumpkin, Sinister Grape, Skullflower, Hollow Tree. Stock is limited to 1,000,000 units. |
Halloween Card Packs — how they drop and why they matter
- Direct purchase: 150 Candy Corn at the Spooky Event Shop.
- Indirect drop: 25% chance from the 50-Candy Spooky Crate.
- Launch bonus: a free Halloween Card Pack was granted during the initial rollout event window.
These packs use a themed pool and are limited to the event window. If you’re building out card loadouts, prioritize them while the shop is active.
Other Halloween update changes
- Performance and optimization tweaks were rolled out alongside the event.
- One of the new plants is also available in the standard Plants Shop.
- New gear items tied to the event include Witch Potion, Medusa’s Head, and Web Grenade.
Where to find everything in-game
- Central Island: the haunted house is the landmark for the Spooky Event Shop; it’s on the island’s main path.
- Unlocks: new players need to unlock Central Island to access the shop and event area.
- On-screen events: when an admin event is active, watch for the top-of-screen progress bar to track Candy and reward thresholds.
The week-long window is short, so focus on what moves your account forward. Farm Candy Corn by clearing mutated spawns, jump into admin events when they appear for faster gains, and spend with intent: grab guaranteed Halloween Card Packs if you want certainty, or lean on the 50-Candy crate for flexible value and a shot at packs and event gear.
