Build a Zoo by Century Farmers is one of the featured games in the Roblox Halloween Spotlight event, offering players a chance to earn two exclusive badges: a Rune and a Key. This guide provides a clear, step-by-step breakdown of how to find the game and complete both quests efficiently.
Finding Build a Zoo in the Halloween Spotlight
To start your quest for the Rune and Key, you first need to locate the game within the event hub.
Go to the main Roblox Halloween Spotlight event lobby.
Navigate to Lobby 4, an area known as the Cursed Clearing.
Find and enter the Build a Zoo game portal from there.
Once you load into Build a Zoo, you can begin working towards the two Halloween Spotlight quests.
Build a Zoo Halloween Quests Overview
During the event, you have two specific goals to earn your badges:
Rune Badge: Use at least 20 Candy at the event shop.
Key Badge: Collect a total of 45 Candy.
You can track your progress for both quests through the Halloween Spotlight icon on the right side of your screen.
How to Get the Rune Badge (Spend 20 Candy)
The Rune badge is earned by spending Candy at the in-game Halloween shop.
Locate the Event Shop: Inside the Build a Zoo lobby, find the Halloween event shop. It is typically located at the end of the lobby.
Purchase Items: You need to buy items that total at least 20 Candy. Suitable options include:
Halloween Capy Egg (20 Candy)
Luck Potion (20 Candy)
Lucky Ticket (25 Candy)
Banana (30 Candy)
Any combination of items that meets or exceeds the 20 Candy requirement.
As soon as your total spending hits 20 Candy, the Rune badge will be awarded to you.
How to Get the Key Badge (Collect 45 Candy)
The Key badge requires you to accumulate 45 Candy through gameplay. There are two primary methods to earn Candy.
Method 1: Complete Halloween Quests
Build a Zoo features special Halloween quests that are repeatable and refresh every 24 hours. Check your quest log in-game to see the current objectives and complete them to earn Candy.
Method 2: Use the ‘Like’ Feature on Player Zoos
This is a consistent way to farm Candy.
Visit another player’s zoo/base.
Find and click on the Owner Board.
In the pop-up window, press the purple ‘Like’ button at the bottom.
You will receive 2 Candy for each unique zoo you like.
You can only give one like per zoo. For efficiency, wait out the 60-second cooldown on the like button before moving to the next zoo to ensure your action registers and you receive the Candy.
Efficient Strategy: Unlock Both Badges at Once
The most efficient strategy is to work on both badges simultaneously.
Focus first on earning 45 Candy through quests and liking zoos to secure the Key badge.
Once you have at least 20 Candy, simply spend it at the event shop as described to immediately unlock the Rune badge.
Since you need 45 Candy for the Key, spending 20 of it is a natural part of the process, allowing you to complete both missions together seamlessly.
