Animal Crossing: New Horizons Halloween Night Event
The Halloween night event will start at 5 pm and end at the stroke of midnight local time. On this spooky night, all the villagers on your island will dress up and Jack the Pumpkin Czar will visit your island.
In the game, your task is to bypass pranks or treat your villagers to get candy or lollipops from them. You can get candy once from any villager roaming outside, but if the villager is at home, you can keep asking them for more. Once you get the candy, you can give it to another villager in exchange for a lollipop, or to Jack for exclusive items. You'll want to do both, as giving villagers candy and jack lollipops is the only way to get some of the exclusive Spooky Set items mentioned earlier.
