Candy was the Halloween currency in Storage Hunters: Open World. It sat in its own wallet, separate from Money and Diamonds, and it paid for Halloween Garage entries, Halloween Market rolls, the Gravedigger Shovel, and Candy Bag upgrades. Every source had its own NPC, timer, and cap, and after a round of nerfs no single activity paid well by itself. The fast approach was to chain every source across one in-game day while a 2x Candy Potion was running.
Quick answer: Buy the Shovel from Tork for 100 Candy and dig for a 2x Candy Potion. Drink it at 2–3 PM in-game, run Defend the town, dig graves from 5–7 PM, then trick-or-treat until 6 AM.
The Halloween event ran from October 17th and closed on October 31st, 2026, at 7 PM UTC. Candy, the Halloween garages, and the event-exclusive items are expected to be unavailable now that it has ended, and no return date for Halloween content has been confirmed.
Storage Hunters Candy sources, payouts, and limits
Nearly all of the activity took place in the Halloween Area, also known in-game as the Haunted Village. The sole exception was shop tips, earned at your own General Store.
| Source | Where | Payout | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Defend the town | Grave Digger | 100 Candy for 5 waves | Once per 30 min (real time) |
| Zombie bodies | Grave Digger | 10 Candy per body | 250 Candy per 30 min |
| Grave digging | Haunted Village graveyard | Random Candy, potions | Needs the Shovel |
| Trick-or-treating | Lit houses at night | About 6 Candy per treat (free bag) | 7 PM–6 AM in-game |
| Headless Horseman jobs | Halloween Area | Candy, Diamonds, prizes | 30 quests |
| Shop tips | Your General Store | Candy tips on sales | Depends on stock |
Farming was never strictly required. The Halloween Market also had a Buy Candy button for players who preferred to pay instead.
Gear to collect before farming Candy
Everything on this list should be in hand before the in-game afternoon, since the routine leaves no time for a shopping trip once it starts.
- Gravedigger Shovel: For 100 Candy, Tork—the skeleton NPC in the graveyard—will give you one.
- Candy Bag: the Witch, beside the Haunted Village building, hands out a free Paper Candy Bag.
- A gun: Back Alley auctions are the reliable source, and both zombies and Defend the town need one.
- Energy Drink duration accessories: target roughly 25% in the early game, 50% in mid-game, then at least 100% late-game.
- Transport: take a vehicle that can store bodies, and a hoverboard to move between houses and graves.
Begin with the Shovel: only graves yield the 2x Candy Potion, which doubles Candy from every source for 15 minutes. Graves may also contain a Halloween Luck Potion, granting 50% more luck in Halloween auctions. Duration accessories lengthen these potions and your Luck drinks, giving each dose more time to last along your route.
Fastest Candy farming routine by in-game clock
The route is timed around trick-or-treat hours. Zombies and graves fill the afternoon, and houses fill the night. During the event, nights lasted three times longer than usual, which made the back half of the day the most profitable stretch.
One full cycle of defense, digging, and trick-or-treating with a potion active has returned about 2,307 Candy in a single in-game day. That covers more than eleven Halloween Market rolls.
Keep a 2x Candy Potion after finding it in a grave instead of using it immediately. Wait until it can cover the entire route.
How each Candy source pays out
Grave Digger: Defend the town and zombie bodies
The Grave Digger stands next to the church truck in the Halloween Area. His menu lists “Defend the town,” “Turn in my zombies,” and “How does the defense work?” Defend the town spawns five waves of zombies, and clearing all of them pays 100 Candy. Another run unlocks after 30 minutes of real time. You can team up with other players for the waves, and a fast-firing weapon helps. The P90’s big magazine and the RPG’s splash damage both clear waves quickly.
Bodies pay separately. Zombies also roam the whole map at night, and each body you carry to the Grave Digger is worth 10 Candy. The 250-Candy limit caps the reward, not the number of bodies. Once you hit it, he stops paying and tells you to come back in 30 minutes. A vehicle with storage lets you haul a full wave of bodies in one trip.
Grounded bodies disappear after 10 minutes, and dying during a wave will usually make the bodies you carried vanish.
Grave digging with the Gravedigger Shovel
Each grave drops a random amount of Candy, and Lucky Digs pay more. Some graves come up empty or haunted, while others drop Halloween Luck drinks or the rare 2x Candy Potion. A dug grave refills a few minutes later, so loop through the yard rather than camping one plot. The potion applies here too, turning a 16-Candy grave into 32. If the Shovel goes missing, choose “I lost my shovel” in Tork’s menu for a free replacement.
Trick-or-treating and Candy Bag upgrades
Trick-or-treating runs from 7 PM to 6 AM in-game. Only houses with orange-lit windows and a Trick or Treat board next to the door respond. A house goes dark after one knock and relights roughly three minutes later, so keep moving. Treats can include drinks such as Luck Drink 1 or Halloween Luck drinks alongside Candy.
Some doors play a trick instead. That knocks you backward and cuts your luck by 5% for a few minutes, and a streak of bad doors can quietly drag down your auction luck. Keeping your inventory full lowers the odds of getting spider items instead of Candy.
Bag upgrades come from the Witch through the “I’d like a better bag” option. Each tier costs Candy and adds a flat bonus to every treat.
| Candy Bag | Extra Candy per treat |
|---|---|
| Paper Candy Bag (free) | None (about 6 base) |
| Paper Ghost Bag | +4 |
| Ghost Sack | +8 |
| Pumpkin Bag | +12 |
| Cauldron Bag | +16 |
Before setting out for a long night, buy the Cauldron Bag: it gives the highest payout per house.
Headless Horseman jobs
The Headless Horseman waits near the church, on the path toward the Lost and Found Box. He offers 30 Halloween jobs that pay Candy, Diamonds, and other prizes, and finishing them also advances the Halloween Index. A win in a higher Halloween Garage counts toward his jobs for lower garages, so check which job you’re tracking before you bid.
Passive Candy tips from your General Store
Your shop can earn Candy while you travel the route. Stock the shelves with items carrying Halloween mutations, then open the settings for Goober, your Shop Assistant. The Auto-Accept Threshold ranges from -50% to +200%; set it to -50% or 0% for items to sell immediately. Sales may bring a Candy tip, which an active 2x Candy Potion doubles.
What Candy buys and the order to spend it
| Purchase | Candy cost |
|---|---|
| Halloween Garage 1 entry | 10 |
| Halloween Garage 2 entry | 20 |
| Halloween Garage 3 entry | 30 |
| Halloween Garage 4 entry | 40 |
| Gravedigger Shovel | 100 |
| Halloween Market roll | 200 |
| Candy Bag upgrades | Varies by tier |
A garage entry only gets you through the door. Bids inside still cost regular cash, and you can pick any garage without clearing the cheaper ones first. The Halloween garages are the only place to find the event mutations Spiderwebbed (5x), Blood Moon (12.5x), and Spirited (25x). A Market roll gives one random item.
Spend in this order: Shovel, then a bag upgrade, then garage entries, with Market rolls last. Rolling the Market early can leave you short of the 100 Candy the Shovel costs, and without the Shovel there are no potions.
How to confirm the Candy routine is paying out
- The “+10 CANDY” and “ZOMBIE BOUNTY” alerts confirm your earnings: they appear when zombies fall and when you turn in their bodies.
- While the 2x Candy Potion is running, the Candy amount shown for a grave is twice the usual amount.
- After you knock, an illuminated house switches off, indicating that you should head to another one.
- At the 250-Candy body limit, the Grave Digger tells you to come back in 30 minutes.
Seeing the signals at the expected points confirmed that the loop was running properly; you could do it again each in-game day. Storage Hunters: Open World remains live on Roblox, though its Halloween Candy loop finished when the event ended on October 31st.
