Hello Ghouls and Graveyard goers,
It's that time of year again. The witching hour is nearing, so be prepared for a spooooky in-game event, as the ghostly gods bring you our 2nd annual Pumpkin Hunt. As with last year, the aim of the game is to collect as many pumpkins as fast as you can! The event will run from midnight October 29th until 5th November.

Ingame event: Pumpkin hunt:
To start a "pumpkin hunt" click on a pumpkin in the ocean. Each pumpkin hunt lasts 60 seconds. During this time you must scroll over the map and collect as many pumpkins as possible.
For each pumpkin you collect in the 60 seconds, you will increase the duration of the special Halloween spell on your current city for one hour. The Halloween spell increases your production of all your resources by 5%. Let me give you a scary example...
Example 1:
I activate the "pumpkin hunt" and find 3 pumpkins in 60 sec. My current town will receive a 5% increased resource production spell for 3 hours.
Example 2:
I activate the "pumpkin hunt" and find 8 pumpkins in 60 sec. My current town will receive a 5% increased resource production spell for 8 hours.
Further information:
Please note that you can only collect each pumpkin once. Also you may not conduct a "pumpkin hunt" as long as the Halloween spell is active. A maximum of 10 pumpkins can be collected during each "pumpkin hunt".
