The Halloween event has arrived in Grow a Garden, bringing a host of spooky new pets to collect through the Spooky Egg and the special Creepy Critters shop. This guide will break down everything you need to know, from how to get the eggs to a detailed look at every pet’s unique abilities.
How to Get the Spooky Egg
There are four primary ways to obtain the coveted Spooky Egg during the Halloween event:
Contribute to the Witch’s Cauldron: Donate your harvested crops to the cauldron. You’ll earn Candy Corns and have a small chance to receive a Spooky Egg directly.
Visit the Jack-o-Lantern NPC: This special NPC appears every two hours. Hand over your plants to him for a reward of Candy Corns or a rare chance to get a Spooky Egg.
Buy from the Creepy Critters Shop: You can purchase Spooky Eggs directly from this limited-time shop using the Candy Corns you’ve collected.
Purchase Premium Spooky Eggs with Robux: For players who want to get a head start, Premium Spooky Eggs are available in the in-game store:
1 Pack: 149 Robux
3 Pack: 429 Robux
10 Pack: 1249 Robux

Best Pets from the Halloween Event
While all pets have their uses, three stand out for their significant impact on your garden’s efficiency and power:
Headless Horseman (Prismatic): Its ability to grant powerful mutations to high-level pets is a game-changer for end-game players, offering unique and potent bonuses.
Black Cat (Mythical): The ability to consistently enlarge fruits provides a direct and valuable boost to your harvest yields.
Reaper (Creepy Critters Shop): Sacrificing a few fruits for permanent pet stat boosts or XP is an excellent way to power up your team efficiently.
