Whiteout Survival Halloween 2026: Event Dates, City Skin and Rewards
Halloween is back in the Tundra! The Whiteout Survival Halloween 2026 event runs from October 27 to November 2 (UTC), while Pumpkin Invasion and the Night of Wonders Pack stay open until November 3.
This year's biggest prizes are a permanent Halloween City Skin from Pumpkin Invasion and a guaranteed Permanent Name Card for reaching the King of Phantoms target, even if you finish outside the top 25.
This guide covers every event date, how Peculiar Flavored Candy and the different point types work, which rewards are free, and which seasonal packs are worth buying.
If you usually buy Frost Stars before picking up event packs, a Whiteout Survival top up through KeyGold can get you the same Halloween packs for less.

01Halloween 2026 Event Schedule
All times are UTC. Most activities close on November 2 at 23:59:59, but Pumpkin Invasion and the Night of Wonders Pack run one extra day, until November 3.
Important: Every candy source and Spooky Gathering close on November 2, one day before Pumpkin Invasion. Collect and claim what you need by then, and use the final day only to spend leftover candy. Always trust your in-game countdown, since the Halloween Party only runs in eligible states.
02Main Halloween Events and Rewards
Pumpkin Invasion: How the Core Event Works
Pumpkin Invasion is where all your Peculiar Flavored Candy ends up. You earn candy from King of Phantoms, Halloween Tune, Trick or Treat!, Sugar Storm and the Spooky Gathering tracks, then spend it attacking Pumpkin Fiends.
- Hits 1–9 on a Pumpkin Fiend each give a random Attack Reward.
- The 10th hit defeats it for 2 Treasure Points, a random Defeat Reward and a chance to lure out the Nightmare Pumpkin King.
- The Pumpkin King may flee when attacked, but every hit that lands gives a better random reward.
- Your attacks also build Hunter Points for the rankings and the Halloween City Skin.
- Leftover candy is converted into 1K Secured Resource Supply Chests after November 3, so it no longer counts toward any Halloween progress.
How to Get the Permanent Halloween City Skin
The biggest prize this year comes from the Pumpkin Invasion Hunter Points ranking, settled when the event results are final.
Community trackers put the target at 12,500 Hunter Points. They also report that each attack costs 20 candy and earns 2 Hunter Points, so the skin takes a lot of candy. Check the exact target on your own event screen early, and decide whether the skin is realistic before you spend Gems or Speedups chasing it.
Note: The pumpkin look from Fantasy Disguise lasts only 5 minutes. It is not the permanent city skin.
Spooky Gathering
Spooky Gathering is a reward track that levels up with the Pumpkin Points you earn in Pumpkin Invasion. Everyone gets the free track. Ghoul Baron and Scarlet Count are paid upgrades that add extra rewards, and both are sold only during the event. The track closes on November 2, a day before Pumpkin Invasion. Unclaimed rewards are mailed to you afterwards.
King of Phantoms
King of Phantoms is a Halloween-themed Hall of Chiefs. Each stage scores a different kind of progress, with both stage rankings and a total points ranking. Community guides list stages such as Power Boost, Beast Slay and Hero Development.
- Reach the target points by the final tally for a guaranteed Permanent Name Card Skin.
- Ranks 1–25: ranking rewards are unchanged.
- Ranked 26th or lower: you get the extra Permanent Name Card once you reach the target, plus your normal ranking rewards.
- Save upgrade materials for the stage that scores them. The same upgrade can also drop Sugar Storm candy.
Halloween Tune
Halloween Tune is a mission board. Finish every mission in a horizontal or vertical line to open a Stage Chest, and clear the whole board for Phantom Fortune. Do missions that complete a nearly finished line first, so you unlock chests sooner. Some rewards depend on server progress, and anything unclaimed is mailed after the event.
Sugar Storm and Trick or Treat!
Sugar Storm drops extra candy while you do normal tasks:
- Slaying Beasts
- Gathering resources
- Spending Gems
- Using Speedups
In Trick or Treat!, a forest house has three doors, each with a Candy Witch behind it. The door shows the witch's level, and higher-level witches give better treats. Some visits also trigger a candy rain that drops a large batch of candy, so check in every day.
Fantasy Disguise
Turn your own city, or another Chief's, into a Halloween pumpkin. You may even get a unique look.
When the event ends, all disguises are removed. Each unused Wand or Cloak becomes a 10K Resource Supply Chest.
Kasia's Wish House
Kasia's Wish House opens a day late, on October 28, and closes on November 2. You make wishes for a prize pool, using Wish Vouchers from eligible tasks and some event packs. The prize pool can differ by server progress, so check yours before committing vouchers.
03Halloween 2026 Packs and Top-up Benefits
All paid content this Halloween is optional. Here is what each offer is for:
- You are pushing for the permanent City Skin and need more candy
- A Top-up Benefits milestone is only a small top-up away
- You collect seasonal decorations
- You are buying only to finish a track you won't complete before Nov 2
- You need your budget for SvS or other upcoming events
- The pack contents on your server don't match what you need
Many Chiefs buy Frost Stars on the official web store before picking up event packs. A Whiteout Survival top up on KeyGold is a cheaper alternative to buying Frost Stars. We purchase the Halloween packs directly on your account, at a lower price than the official store. Not sure which packs give the best value? See when Whiteout Survival packs are worth buying.
04Server Differences: Why Rewards May Vary
The Halloween Party runs only in eligible states, and several rewards change with your server's progress. A screenshot from another state may not match your own event screen.
