Dear Kings and Queens,
On Wednesday, September 21st, our Halloween Event returns once again!

This is the place to be if you have any questions about it or would like to discuss it with other players.
Please keep in mind that your opinion may differ from the opinions of other players, you don't have to convince each other of anything here.

We appreciate your feedback!

Please write your feedback in a factual and constructive way and stay on topic.
So that we can pass your feedback on to the developers, the following points would be important to note:

• Feedback that only contains one sentence like "In my Orb I can see a bright future ahead!" is not helpful. Please make sure to include reasons for your opinion.
• The same goes for positive feedback. We are happy about it of course, but describing what exactly you like is always very helpful!
• Limit your feedback to the actual content. Feedback like "You should improve X" or feedback that refers to other game content or previous events is not helpful.
• Use the "Like" button if another player has already reflected your opinion well.

Thank you very much and have fun!

Sincerely,
Your Forge of Empires Team

It's that time of year once more for all things macabre. The circus is back in town, and this time there are some new guests. A fog settles in as you gaze over the fairgrounds, and a chill runs down your back as you enter the familiar canvas and rope buildings. While things appear to be the same as in previous years, there are few surprises in store and there are lots of treats to find inside this twisted circus.

The Halloween Event will start on the 21st of September, and will run until October 12th!

The Ringmaster welcomes you back for another year of spooky surprises. He brings a few new thrills, along with some familiar chills.



He will provide you with 30 rush quests, and 21 additional daily quests. From these quests, you can earn Fairground Tickets, which can additionally be earned through logging in once per day, and completing incidents in your city.

Candle	Flashlight	Lantern	Orb (New for 2022)
Disperses one fog tile.	Disperses an entire column of fog (when not blocked).	Disperses 8 surrounding fog tiles.	Reveals hidden rewards by removing all visible darker fog tiles.

Important Tip - The candle can be used on each individual fog tiles, to disperse them, but the flashlight and lantern must be used on empty tiles. The new Orb option will allow you to instantly remove the thickest of fog, which can only be used on darker fog tiles and can only be purchased by using diamonds.

Eyes on the Ground!

When navigating in low visibility, it is always good to mind your feet and to know where they are going, but within the Halloween Event, it is also key to finding lucrative rewards! Indeed, as you make your way, you will find many items on the floor worth your attention!


The first are pumpkins, which will contain a random reward (as well as a chance at the daily special). Secondly, there are Lightbulbs that will help you make progress toward the Grand Prize!




Yet, that is not the only thing you will need to watch out for!

Just like last year, you will find Toy's strewn throughout the fair, which will unlock special additional quest lines. The completion of these, will provide some frighteningly good rewards, and earn you the fairground findings achievement!


Reward Calendar
Be sure to be on the lookout for - Daily Stickers. These can be spent in the Reward Calendar! Each sticker is unique, and will open one of the 21 slots within the Calendar! Each one opening a unique reward!



You are probably wondering what happens if you miss a day? While there are plenty of things to be afraid of within the Halloween event, missing a daily slot within the Reward Calendar is not one!

Joker Sticker Pieces can always be found throughout the event, as well as won in Daily Challenges. Once you have enough of them, you can piece them together, to make a full sticker and open a slot that was previously missed.

These are key, as you will definitely not want to miss out on the reward for completing the Calendar! Within, are two selection kits, a unique avatar, and a host of other items!


Event Pass
As with previous events, you can also unlock the bonus prizes alongside the Grand Prizes!


Rewards for 2022!

Now that we are all out of tricks, you are probably wondering what are this year’s treats?

The Tarot Card Caravans are sure to find their way to your city, with 12 levels to achieve, there are many coveted treats to off.

Dear Kings and Queens,
With tomorrows update, there will be some changes to the Halloween Event.

Important: These changes require a change to your current boards. This means, that they will change after the update. So if you have anything you want to collect, do it before the update!

The following changes will be applied:

• The Calendar Collection Reward text has been altered to include some information about the Haunted Tree.
• The Calendar Collection Reward now includes one more Selection Kit for the Tarot Card Caravans.
• The chance for stickers to appear was too low. It was adjusted to be the same as last year.
• The reward for solving all Quests from Sir. Hugsalot now provides 5 instead of 2 Blueprints.
• The cost of orbs has been reduced to 25 diamonds.
• The Daunting Tower now provides 35% Attack for Attacking army.
• The amount of fragments for the Daunting Tower as a daily special has been increased.

Thank you for providing your feedback! If you want to comment on these changes, please do so in the Feedback Thread!  

Dear Kings and Queens,
Tomorrow, we will do some smaller adjustments to the Event.

• We have changed the first Milestone reward to a Level 1 building, instead of selection kit.
• The starting amount of orbs has been decreased to 1.
• During the tutorial, you will get 1 orb on the board.

 

Dear Kings and Queens,
With the next update, there will be once again some balancing changes.
Important: These changes once again require a change to your current boards. This means, that they will change after the update. So if you have anything you want to collect, do it before the update!
The changes are:

• All pumpkins now have a 5% higher chance for the daily special.
• The Tarot Card Caravans now provides 5 additional goods of the previous age at its highest level.
• The chance for stickers on the board has been decreased again slightly.

 

Dear Kings and Queens,
Firstly, thank you all very much for testing out the Halloween Event, reporting bugs and providing feedback.
Currently, there is one question regarding the blueprints from Sir. Hugsalot left. I will probably receive an answer next week.
Regardless, I want to inform you about the (probably) final adjustments to the Halloween Event from the beta phase.

• The Daunting Tower has received 2 changes:
  1. It will now provide 50%, instead of 35% boost.
  2. There will be no fragments of this building anymore. You will only receive the full building in the Event Pass and Daily Special.
• We have made some adjustments to the Daily Specials, improving the general value of them.
• We have also made some changes to the Event Pass rewards.

We hope you enjoyed the Event here on beta and are excited to hear, what you think about these changes!
