Trick or Treating at Houses in the Forest: Your Primary Candy Source

The most effective method for getting Candy in 99 Nights in the Forest is by trick-or-treating at houses during nighttime. This immersive Halloween activity requires some preparation, as you'll need to understand how to obtain Halloween Candles first.

Halloween Candles can be acquired by defeating Cultists and looting chests throughout the forest. Once you have a Candle, you'll need to bring it to a house before the residents will turn their lights on and answer the door to trick-or-treaters.

When it's nighttime and a house's lights are illuminated, you can approach the front door and interact with it to begin trick-or-treating. A short cutscene will play where the resident will either give you a treat or play a trick on you, rewarding you with Candy and occasionally other special items.

Pro Tip: Purchasing the Trick or Treater class from the Halloween Shop significantly boosts your Candy earnings when trick-or-treating. This specialized class also provides a higher drop rate for Candles, making it easier to visit more houses during your adventures.

Collecting Candy in the Lobby: Quick and Easy Method

Candy locations in the 99 Nights in the Forest lobby

Before even starting a game in 99 Nights in the Forest, you can find free Candy scattered throughout the lobby area. This is one of the easiest ways to accumulate Candy without any risk or combat required.

Several Candy pieces spawn in specific locations around the lobby. While the exact respawn timer isn't confirmed, our testing shows that Candy typically reappears after completing a round and returning to the lobby.

Candy Location Spoilers:

  • Near the main spawn point behind the starting area
  • Beside the Halloween Shop entrance
  • Underneath the large central tree
  • Hidden behind the weapon rack on the right side
  • Next to Happy the Halloween Guy's usual spot

Redeeming Codes for Free Candy: Limited Time Opportunity

Active Halloween Code:

happyhalloween

Rewards: 10 Candy

The developers released a special Halloween code alongside the Trick or Treat Update that grants players 10 free Candy. Simply enter "happyhalloween" in the codes section to claim your reward.

It's important to note that this code will likely expire when the Halloween event concludes or shortly after. Make sure to redeem it and spend your Candy before the event ends to avoid missing out on limited-time items.

Additional Tip: Check our regularly updated 99 Nights in the Forest codes list for other active codes that can provide Diamonds and other valuable resources for unlocking new classes and items.

Talking to Happy the Halloween Guy: Character Interaction Rewards

A delightful and easy method to earn three free Candy is by having a specific conversation with Happy the Halloween Guy. This festive pumpkin character appears in the 99 Nights in the Forest lobby exclusively during the Halloween update.

To receive your Candy reward, you must select the exact dialogue options in the correct sequence. This method only works once per player, so choose your responses carefully!

Correct Dialogue Sequence:

  1. "I have a question."
  2. "Who are you?"
  3. "How do you stay so happy?"
  4. "Way too deep man, can I have some candy?"

After completing this conversation sequence, Happy will reward you with three Candy. If you attempt to ask for more Candy afterward, Happy will politely decline but may offer to perform a joyful dance instead!
