Pokémon GO Halloween 2026: Part I and Part II
This is the biggest event on the list and the only one that hasn’t started yet. According to Niantic’s official Part I post, Halloween 2026 Part I runs from Tuesday, October 27, at 10:00 a.m. to Sunday, November 1, at 10:00 a.m. local time. It brings three new costumes: Pikachu in a hat and capelet, Zubat in a top hat and Sinistea with a bow. All three can be Shiny.
- Trick or Treat: tap the “spooky surprises” left in the wild for encounters, Pikachu, Zubat or Sinistea Candy, or sometimes Rare Candy.
- GO Pass: Halloween 2026 (October 27 to November 5, 8:00 p.m. local): Rank 10 unlocks 2× catch Candy and Rank 20 unlocks 2× catch Stardust. Deluxe raises both to 3×. Deluxe costs US$7.99, or US$9.99 with 10 ranks included.
- Part II (November 1 to 5): Shiny Greavard debuts, and Mega Sableye can reach the new Super Max Mega Level, which unlocks the Charged Attack Night Shade+.
Our full Pokémon GO Halloween 2026 guide covers the raid schedule, every costumed Pokémon and the Mega Sableye raid dates, so we won’t repeat them here.
MONOPOLY GO! Halloween 2026: Monster Mash season events
MONOPOLY GO! has been in its Monster Mash Season since early October, with a KPop Demon Hunters collaboration and Ghostbusters events, according to the official @MonopolyGO account. Three Halloween items are live this week.
Monster Mash Partners (ends October 26, 20:00 UTC)
This is the co-op Partners event: you and your partners build spooky attractions together. The Play Store event card says completing all of them unlocks the Swamp Monster Token. It runs from October 21 at 20:00 UTC to October 26 at 20:00 UTC. Partners progress depends on everyone in your group, so check early that your partners are still playing.
Rolling Tales: Mystery Mansion (October 17 to 26)
You sign up once through the link in MONOPOLY GO!’s posts, and the community then votes on which “door” opens each day. So far the rewards have included a 3-Star Sticker Pack for everyone who signed up and draws for rolls and sticker packs. On October 23, MONOPOLY GO! added an exclusive Shambles the Zombie emoji for everyone who signs up, and said one final door opens on October 24.
Community Golden Blitz: Bashful Monster and Fudged
Players voted for which Gold Stickers enter the Golden Blitz, and the winners were Bashful Monster (Set 13) and Fudged (Set 14). The Golden Blitz went live on October 21 at 20:00 UTC. Gold Stickers can normally be traded only during a Golden Blitz, so this is the window to finish those two sets. MONOPOLY GO! didn’t post an end time, so trade now.

Royal Match Halloween events: Pumpkin Party, Spooky Rise and Haunted Pass
Royal Match has three Halloween events running at once. All are listed on its Play Store event cards and its App Store page.
- Pumpkin Party (October 19 to November 2, 08:00 UTC): beat levels to collect candies, then use them to break pumpkins open for rewards.
- Spooky Rise (same dates): a balloon-climb event. You protect your balloons and climb higher for rewards.
- Haunted Pass (October 1 to October 29, 08:00 UTC): collect keys from levels to unlock 30 stages of free rewards (boosters, coins, power-ups). The paid tier adds bigger rewards, a 5,000-coin Bonus Bank, max lives raised from 5 to 8 and a gold profile frame. The App Store lists a “Royal Pass” purchase at $9.99. The Haunted Pass ends six days before the other two, so claim your stages before the morning of October 29 (UTC).

Township Halloween 2026: Zombie Invasion and Halloween Regatta
Playrix lists two Halloween-season events for Township on its Play Store event cards, and both also appear on the App Store:
- Zombie Invasion (October 23 to November 12, 01:00 UTC): a new expedition where you explore an infected city and brew a herbicide in an underground lab. Clearing it earns rewards and a unique title. It just started and runs almost three weeks, so there’s no rush.
- Halloween Regatta (October 5 to November 1, 01:00 UTC): co-op races with Halloween-themed tasks. Your co-op completes tasks for points and rewards.
Township’s Frozen Fortune event (October 16 to 25) is running at the same time, but it isn’t Halloween-themed.

Word Cookies Halloween event: Spooky Candy Hunt and Spooky Collection
BitMango is running two Halloween seasons in Word Cookies, according to its Play Store event cards and App Store page:
- Spooky Candy Hunt (October 19 to November 1, 01:20 UTC): up to 30 Halloween stages on a haunted board, each with a 5-minute timer. Beating the timer gives a Candy Boost. The Premium Pass ($4.99 on the US App Store) adds Halloween frames and reward chests.
- Spooky Collection: 12 themed card sets, from Vampire to Circus. Card packs come from events, and teammates can send missing cards through team chat. Each 9-card set pays coins plus hints, picks and wands. Duplicate cards turn into stars, which you exchange for chests at 100, 250 and 500 stars. Finishing every set earns the Spooky Badge. The Play card runs October 5 to November 2, but its own description says the collection lasts to December 3. Check the in-game timer before you spend stars.
Gossip Harbor Halloween: The Cat in the Castle and Halloween Hijinks
Gossip Harbor’s two Halloween events are on its Play Store event cards and App Store page:
- The Cat in the Castle (October 13 to October 25, 23:00 UTC): bats have carried Coconut off to a spooky castle, and Olivia mounts a rescue. It ends in about two days. Save your energy for it, and see our Gossip Harbor energy guide for every free refill source.
- Halloween Hijinks (October 6 to November 3, 00:00 UTC): a seasonal card album. Completing sets pays Rainbow Gems, Item Pick Boxes and other bonuses.
More merge games with seasonal events are in our best merge games for iPhone and Android list.
What about Whiteout Survival?
Many players are searching for a Whiteout Survival Halloween event for 2026, but Century Games hasn’t announced one. As of October 23, its only Google Play event card is the new Expert Justus (October 19 to 25). Its latest App Store notes add Mergeventure, Gifts and the Expedition Arena, and the @WOS_Global posts since October 1 don’t mention Halloween. For free rewards in the meantime, use our Whiteout Survival gift codes page.
