The Adopt Me Halloween 2025 event, “Halloween Transformed,” has introduced an exciting new minigame: Sleep or Treat. This fast-paced game is your key to earning the coveted Candy Corn currency for exclusive rewards. If you’re struggling to win, this complete guide will walk you through the best strategies to collect candy and avoid the dreaded DJ Snooze.
What is the Sleep or Treat Minigame?
Sleep or Treat is a limited-time Adopt Me Halloween minigame that starts every 30 minutes during the event. Your objective is simple: collect as much candy as possible from houses with their lights on and deposit it into the giant pumpkin in the center of the map before time runs out. The main threat? DJ Snooze and his cronies, who will put you to sleep if they catch you.
Step-by-Step: How to Play and Win
Winning in Sleep or Treat requires speed, strategy, and awareness. Follow these steps to maximize your candy haul.
1. Collect Candy from Lit-Up Houses
At the start of the game, run to any house with its lights on. Interact with it to collect candy. Remember:
Golden Houses are your priority. They give a larger amount of candy and have a chance to drop Yarn Apples.
Stick to the outskirts of the map. This makes it easier to access houses and find hiding spots.
2. Deposit Candy at the Central Pumpkin
You don’t win by just holding candy; you must deposit it. Regularly run back to the giant pumpkin in the center to secure your earnings. Making frequent deposits ensures you don’t lose everything if you get caught.
3. Avoid DJ Snooze and His Cronies
DJ Snooze patrols the streets. If you enter his radius, a sleep meter will appear, and your character will fall asleep if you don’t escape in time.
Hide in Trash Cans: The best way to avoid him is to hide in the green trash cans scattered along the roads. Jump in when he’s near and wait for him to pass.
Listen for Audio Cues: Pay attention to the music; it often changes when DJ Snooze is approaching.
Essential Power-Ups and How to Use Them
Two key power-ups spawn randomly around the map during the game. Grab them to gain a crucial advantage.
Speed-up Candy: This gives you a temporary burst of speed, perfect for escaping a close encounter or making a quick deposit.
Headphones: This is the ultimate defensive tool. It grants you immunity to DJ Snooze’s sleep effect for ten seconds, allowing you to collect candy fearlessly.
Best Strategies and Tips for 2025
To consistently top the leaderboard, employ these proven strategies:
Use the Terrain: Run along the edges of the map. It’s safer and lined with both houses and trash cans.
Power-Up Priority: Don’t ignore power-ups. The Headphones can save a massive candy haul. Use Speed-up Candy for strategic sprints, not just random running.
Teamwork (Unofficial): While not a formal team game, you can coordinate with friends. Split up and cover different routes to farm candy more efficiently and call out DJ Snooze’s location.
Spam Click to Wake Up: If you do get caught, rapidly tap your screen (or click) to reduce the time you spend asleep and get back into the action faster.
The Best Pets for Sleep or Treat
Bringing the right pet can provide a significant boost. Look for pets with these abilities:
Speed-Boost Pets: Any pet that increases your movement speed is invaluable for collecting and escaping.
Collection Bonus Pets: Pets that grant a chance to collect extra candy from houses will accelerate your progress.
Special Ability Pets: Unique abilities that enhance stamina or provide brief invisibility can be game-changers.
Rewards: Spending Your Hard-Earned Candy Corn
After each successful Sleep or Treat game, you will receive Candy Corn. Take this currency to the Halloween Shop to purchase exclusive, limited-time Halloween pets, toys, and decorations before the event ends.
