The Halloween 2025 update for 99 Nights in The Forest has arrived, bringing spooky decorations and a highly sought-after new class: the Trick or Treater. This class is a time-limited reward, available only during the event period. If you’re looking to add this festive character to your roster, this guide will walk you through the exact steps on how to unlock it.
How to Unlock the Trick or Treater Class: The Short Version
The process to get the Trick or Treater Class is straightforward. Your main goal is to collect 30 Candies and trade them to the special Halloween NPC. Here’s a quick summary of the steps:
Find the Halloween NPC in the main lobby.
Collect Candies by performing the “Trick or Treat” activity on lit-up event houses.
To light a house, you need a Candle, which is earned by playing the Cultist Wave mode.
Once you have 30 Candies, return to the NPC and purchase the class.
Now, let’s break down each step in detail.
Step 1: Locate the Halloween NPC
As soon as you log into the game during the event, head to the main lobby. You will find a new, specially decorated area, typically filled with pumpkins and other Halloween-themed items. The event NPC will be standing here. Interact with them to see the available rewards, with the Trick or Treater Class priced at 30 Candies. This NPC is your destination for turning in your hard-earned Candies.
Step 2: Farming Candles in Cultist Wave Mode
Candies themselves aren’t found in the Cultist Wave mode. Instead, you need to farm Candles. The primary method to get Candles is by surviving in the Cultist Wave game mode.
What to Do: Start a match in the Cultist Wave mode. Your objective is to survive for as long as possible against endless waves of Cultists.
How to Get Candles: Candles are awarded as drops or completion rewards at the end of each wave. The longer you survive, the more Candles you are likely to earn per run. Focus on teamwork and a strong defense to maximize your Candle income.
Step 3: Using Candles for Trick or Treating
Once you have collected at least one Candle from the Cultist Wave mode, return to the event area in the lobby.
Lighting the Houses: Look for the darkened event houses near the NPC. Interact with one and use a Candle to light it up. This will consume one of your Candles.
Getting Candies: After a house is lit, you can perform the “Trick or Treat” interaction on it. This will grant you a random amount of Candies. The number is random, so you might get a handful or a larger amount in one go.
Repeat the Process: You can repeat this on multiple event houses. The cycle is: Farm Candles in Cultist Wave → Use Candles to light houses in the lobby → Collect Candies from the lit houses.
Step 4: Purchasing the Trick or Treater Class
After repeating the farming process and successfully accumulating 30 Candies, your final step is simple.
Go back to the Halloween NPC you found in Step 1. Interact with them, select the Trick or Treater Class from their shop menu, and confirm the purchase for 30 Candies. The class will be immediately unlocked and available for you to use.
Trick or Treater Event Rewards
While the main prize is the class itself, the event often offers other cosmetic items or consumables in the NPC’s shop that you can purchase with any extra Candies you collect.
