When the update was released and downloaded, the All Hallows' Eve Event triggered automatically.
 * All Hallows' Eve Event

 * 88 new quests
 * 14 new collections - 5 for the Event, and 12 others

All Hallows' Eve Event
The All Hallows' Eve Event runs for several weeks and will end when the event timer expires. The timer is shown on the desktop and under the event name in the event window. There are 3 challenges during the event. Players can complete any or all of these during the event. The prizes will not be available after time expires. These are not part of the challenges, but they temporarily reward prizes during the event.
 * Collect 500 Spooky Cupcakes by winning games of Halloween Gem Match to win or upgrade the Sphere of Miracles.
 * Complete 30 special quests to win the one-off Moon Talisman which increases time for examining pictures by 25% for 48 hours.
 * Achieve Academician level in Abandoned Manor to win 2 unique avatars, one female and one male.
 * Halloween Tree rewards a set of gifts every 24 hours.
 * Box of Candies from the Halloween Bag can be opened anytime during the event.  They contain game items.

Black Cat Special Items required to play Abandoned Manor
Until a future update removes the requirement, Black Cat special items are required in addition to energy points to play the Abandoned Manor scene. Black Cat are given as rewards for every successful investigation for every picture, and as rewards for banishing anomalies, but not for playing puzzles.

Black Cat special items cannot be gifted between friends, however, they are given as rewards for combining the All Hallows' Eve Event collections; they can be given as rewards by the Sphere of Miracles and Pyramid of Wonder desktop awards; they are included in the daily rewards from the Halloween Tree; they are sometimes contained in the Halloween Bag Everyday Gifts. Also, Black Cats are sold in the Shop for crystals. You can see your current inventory in a counter in the upper right of your home desktop. The table in The Unique Avatars section below shows how many you will need.

The Halloween Gem Match Challenge - Sphere of Miracles
The Sphere of Miracles rewards a number of Special Items (e.g. Lady Bugs, Cupid's Arrows, Carrots, Fire Flies or Tokens) every 12 hours. Spooky Cupcakes can only be won by successfully completing the Halloween Gem Match puzzle. For each successful win of Halloween Gem Match, you will win between 2-5 Spooky Cupcakes as one of the rewards for completing the puzzle. On average you will get 3.5 Maple Leaves per play. Therefore it will require approximately 143 plays of Halloween Gem Match to complete the challenge.

The All Hallows' Eve Update introduced a new twist to playing for the Sphere of Miracles with the addition of a Halloween themed puzzle. Halloween Gem Match was available to play while the All Hallows' Eve Event was live and was located next to the All Hallows' Eve event picture, Abandoned Manor.

When you open the Research Window for Halloween Gem Match by tapping on the Halloween Gem Match puzzle icon on your Home Desktop you will see Spooky Cupcakes listed as the first item in the 'Can be found' list for the puzzle. Sphere of Miracles are available to win for every play of the puzzle at every puzzle level.

Once you have collected 500 Spooky Cupcakes, the Sphere of Miracles will automatically appear on the desktop and a notification window will appear to say the Sphere of Miracles is won.



However daunting it may seem, all of the Timed Challenges are designed to be able to be completed within the given time limit, so it is possible to collect 500 Spooky Cupcakes well within the time given. The task is designed to be challenging, but it is not impossible! For more information, see Hints and Tips for Event Challenges

In addition to playing Halloween Gem Match to win Spooky Cupcakes, you will win some of the new Combining Elements that are needed to combine the challenge collections. These are: Spider, Ghost, Bat, Skeleton. These can be won from Halloween Gem Match and Illusionist's Room. The availability may change when the event timer expires, and it may change again with a future update.

The Unique Avatars - Getting Harvest Fair to Academician Level
Players can win the unique Avatars by playing the new picture Abandoned Manor until they increase its scene progress level up to Academician Level during the All Hallows' Eve Timed Challenge Event period.

As a guide, in order to reach Academician Level on Abandoned Manor and win the new Avatars, you will need to play the picture approximately 151 times, which will require approximately 3290 Special Items! (or 2632 Special Items if using the Amulet of Santa/Amulet of Rarities Artifact, or a similar Artifact or Talisman).

As soon as you return to your Home Desktop after playing Abandoned Manor for the 151st time, a notification screen will appear to say that the avatar challenge is complete and you have won followed by a visual display of both of the unique Avatars which are displayed separately in a star-filled background.

Both Avatars will automatically go into the Avatar section, but will not automatically replace your current Avatar. To use either of the new Avatars, you must enter the Friends tab. Under "My Profile" select your current Avatar to bring up the Avatar window. Your new Avatar will be at the beginning of the list. Tap on the Avatar to select it.

The Challenge Quests: Moon Talisman
The Moon Talisman is the prize for completing the All Hallows' Eve Event quests before the event timer expires. A special decorative border frames the challenge quests on the left side of the home desktop. There are 30 special quests that must be completed in order to win the Moon Talisman. They consist of 5 collection sequences of 6 quests each. The first 5 quests are to find each of the 5 items while the 6th quest is to combine the collection. You will also be automatically credited with satisfying a quest to find the fragments of the Abandoned Manor, and after unlocking the Abandoned Manor picture, you will receive a credit for that quest. This means that after completing the 5 collections, you will have received credit for completing 32 quests.

Once the quests are completed, a notification screen will appear to say that the challenge quests are complete and you have won the Moon Talisman. The Moon Talisman will go to your Inventory.



The Moon Talisman, when activated, will increase time for investigating photos by 25% times for 48 hours.

The 5 collections players gather as they complete the 30 quests are:


 * 1) Midnight encounter (combines to create "Countess's attire" and rewards 10 Black Cats, 1500 Coins, 40 Energy points, and 165 Keys when combined)
 * 2) The color of dawn  (combines to create "Bloodberries" and rewards 15 Black Cats, 1750 Coins, 60 Energy points, and 165 Keys when combined)
 * 3) Night's true face (combines to create "Favorite toys" and rewards 20 Black Cats, 2000 Coins, 100 Energy points, and 165 Keys, when combined)
 * 4) Cemetery exit (combines to create "Amulet of wind" and rewards 25 Black Cats, 2250 Coins, 100 Energy points, and 165 Keys when combined)
 * 5) All Hallows' Day (combines to create "Dragon statue" and rewards 30 Black Cats, 2500 Coins, 100 Energy points, and 165 Keys when combined)

Until a future update makes these items permanently available elsewhere in the game, these are all 'Quest only' items. They cannot be gifted, or put on your wish list, or requested.

The "Keys" rewarded by these collections are used to unlock Gift Box Everyday Gifts from the Basket. The Energy rewards go directly to your available energy.

The Challenge Quests
The special quests that are needed to win the Moon Talisman are:

After the Challenge is complete
Once you complete all three All Hallows' Eve Event Challenges, or after the challenge timer expires (whichever happens first), Black Cat special items will be available from only Japanese House and Bungalow. Black Cats will still be required to play Abandoned Manor until a future update changes this requirement.

Everyday Gifts and Gift Tree


These two items which reward game items are present on the home desktop for the duration of the Timed Challenge Event. They are located in the center of the row of awards, on a gold platform. The gold platform also has the Abandoned Manor picture and Halloween Gem Match puzzle. This is the first time the platform has held a themed puzzle as part of the timed challenge. The Gift Tree and Bag (Everyday Gifts) will disappear after the event timer expires.

You can collect from the Family Tree every 24 hours. It will be sparkling, similar to a desktop award.

The Basket holds Gift Boxes. You can open Gift Boxes at any time. Each box requires 12 Keys, which are available from playing Harvest Fair, from combining the Challenge collections, and are included in the daily gifts from Family Tree.

See Everyday Gifts and Gift Tree for a more in-depth explanation of how these work, and what kind of gifts they produce.

Red Countess's Amulet Artifact
The five collections needed to win the Moon Talisman can be combined to make the Red Countess's Amulet Artifact. This is separate from the All Hallows's Eve Timed Challenge Event -- the Artifact can be combined later if the player is not able to complete the collections needed to win the Moon Talisman.

Players must manually combine the Red Countess's Amulet artifact. To do this, select collections on the Notification window or open the Collections Window and select the Artifacts tab. Locate the Red Countess's Amulet and press the green Combine button. The artifact will go into your Inventory.



The Red Countess's Amulet, when activated, increases chances by 150% for 24 hours.

Changes Made by the All Hallows' Eve Update

 * 1) Special Item Conversion: Upon opening the All Hallows' Eve Update, any remaining Invitation Cards (from the Autumn Festival Update) special items in the player’s inventory were converted into equal parts Ladybugs, Fireflies, Carrots, Cupid’s arrows, and Tokens.
 * 2) Harvest Fair now free to investigate and located below Garden Tea Party on the board.
 * 3) New Combining Elements Bat, Ghost, Skeleton, and Spider were introduced. They were required to combine the five collections needed to win the Moon Talisman. During the All Hallows' Eve Timed Challenge Event, they were available from Halloween Gem Match and Illusionist's Room from scene level Pro.  After the event timer expires, it is expected that they will not be available from anywhere, temporarily, until the next update is released.
 * 4) The Oak Leaf, Acorn, Hop Cone, and Wheat Spike combining elements, which were introduced by the Autumn Festival Update, are now permanently available from Wedding Boutique and Harvest Fair.
 * 5) This is the first time a Halloween themed puzzle has appeared above the four main rows of pictures and puzzles.
