Spooky Weeks in Funfair Tycoon [Event]

🎃 Welcome to the Spooky Weeks! 👻

From 22 October to 2 November, the new Halloween event is taking place in Funfair Tycoon!

During this period, you can hunt ghosts and complete daily tasks in the game every day. You’ll receive sweets for both, which you can exchange for valuable rewards at the Spooky Bazaar.

ℹ️ All the rules are described in a bit more detail here. You don’t need to read through everything to take part – the event is actually quite self-explanatory. However, if you’d like to plan things out in more detail or have any questions, you’ll find the answers here.

🍬 Earn sweets

Daily tasks

Every day, you’re given three tasks. Each one earns you 10 sweets. If you complete all three, you get an extra 5 sweets.

These tasks are things you do in the game anyway (e.g. setting up and dismantling, training staff, buying supplies, sending out applications, dispatching transports, emptying the cash box, etc.)

This is how tasks are counted:

• Only what you’ve done on the same day from 00:00 (server time) counts. What you did yesterday doesn’t count towards the next day’s tasks.
• Sweets are credited as soon as you open the home page, the event page or the Spooky Bazaar.
• If you’ve completed a task late in the evening and haven’t opened any of these pages since, it won’t be lost: the first time you open one of these pages the following day, it will be recognised retrospectively and credited, as will the bonus for all three. Only what you’ve done by midnight counts. The last day is an exception: anything you complete on 2 November will only be credited if you open one of these pages before the end of the event.
• New tasks appear at midnight. Any uncompleted tasks from the previous day expire.

👻 Ghost Hunt

Every day, three ghosts are hiding on the game’s pages. Tap a ghost to catch it. Each ghost is worth 5 sweets.

• There are lots of different hiding places. Ghosts can appear on any of the game’s sub-pages and hide in pop-ups, menus, etc.
• There are no ghosts in the forum or on the homepage – only within the game itself
• Ghosts that haven’t been caught by midnight (server time) disappear. New ghosts appear at midnight.
• Missed ghosts (those you haven’t found) cannot be caught on other days.
• On Halloween night (31 October), there are 6 ghosts instead of 3!

Ghost Clues (optional, premium feature)

Is a ghost hiding too well? A clue reveals on which side and in which spot the next ghost is hiding. Each clue costs credits.

• Clues are unlocked in sequence, one per ghost that hasn’t yet been caught
• A clue is only valid for that day’s ghosts. If the ghost isn’t caught, the clue expires along with it.

What a day can bring

Throughout the whole event, it’s possible to earn up to 615 sweets without using any multipliers, provided you complete everything on all 12 days. You can theoretically exchange for more at the bazaar – so it might be a good idea to plan in advance which reward you’d like to get.

The Spooky Bazar

Here, sweets are exchanged for rewards. The prices are the same for all players – but some rewards increase in value depending on the player’s level.
There are supply packs, talers, chocolate, training vouchers, XP and credits. Some rewards can be exchanged multiple times, whilst others can only be redeemed once during the entire event period.
Halloween Special: On 31 October only, there’s an offer for a 5-day Premium Account (price: 50 sweets).

Halloween Skins

Two special rewards are exclusive Halloween skins:

• Psycho – Afterlife
  In this skin, the Psycho walk-through attraction is themed around an old, weathered house which, of course, is still very much haunted.
• Mini Haunted Carousel
  A lovingly crafted version of the mini children’s carousel for little fans of all things spooky!

Here’s how these versions work:

• Once unlocked, a skin appears as a theming pack in the Design Hall at your company headquarters. There, it can be applied to the relevant attraction at any time.
• The version can also be purchased with sweets if you don’t yet have the required level or the attraction. However, you can only use it once you own the attraction.
• Here’s how to use this skin:
  • Buying a new attraction: Simply select the skin from the Design Hall whilst shopping in the Market
  • If you already own the attraction: You can switch to the new skin in the Design Hall at the company headquarters
• Halloween skins are available exclusively at the Spooky Bazaar and not on the regular Market. They are therefore not available outside the Halloween event.

Halloween Pack (optional, credits)

With the Halloween Pack, you can buy a Candy Doubler and receive extra sweets as a little bonus.

• The Doubler doubles everything earned from quests, quest bonuses and ghosts.
• It is valid from the moment of purchase until the end of the event, not retrospectively. The sooner you buy it, the more you’ll get out of it. The pack shows the maximum number of sweets you can still earn from now on.
• The 30 starting sweets are not doubled.

The last 48 hours: Top-up with credits

From 1 November, 00:00 (server time), you can top up any missing sweets for an offer using credits.

• 1 credit per missing sweet.
• This is only possible if you already have at least half of the price in sweets.
• The top-up sweets are spent immediately on this specific offer. You cannot, therefore, buy sweets to keep in stock.
• Top-ups are not available for the ‘30 Credits’ offer.

Example: You have 240 sweets and want the Psycho – Afterlife version for 300. You’re 60 short, so you pay 240 sweets and 60 credits. If you only had 140, that would be less than half, and a top-up wouldn’t be possible.

What you should bear in mind

1. Sweets expire on 2 November at 23:59 (server time). Make sure you redeem them before then. The Bazaar will remind you.
2. Quests and ghosts are only valid until midnight. You cannot make up for any uncompleted quests or uncaptured ghosts. Anything you’ve completed by midnight will be credited no later than the first time you open the game the following day (on the final day, only until the end of the event).
3. Buy the Doubler early if you want to purchase it. It does not apply retroactively.
4. Plan for Halloween Night: On 31 October, there will be twice as many ghosts and the Halloween Special. The Special is only available on this day.
5. Build the Design Hall in good time. Level 1 costs nothing apart from 12 hours of time.
6. To complete the Psycho challenge, you’ll need at least six full days (without the Doubler, without refilling). If you want the top prize, you should plan your other spending accordingly.
7. The event takes place in the NEXT version. Ghosts, tasks and the Bazaar are only available there. If you’re using the Android app, you’ll need at least version 21.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need to collect a completed task?
   No. As soon as you open the home screen, the event page or the Spooky Bazaar, or catch a ghost, it will be recognised and rewarded. If you completed it late in the evening and haven’t opened anything since, you’ll be rewarded for it the next day when you first open the app.
2. I can’t see the event. Why?
   The Spooky Weeks event is available to all players with at least one business. If you set up your first business during the event, you can take part from then on. Also, the event only takes place in the NEXT version. The Android app requires version 21 for the event content; you may need to update the app.
3. Does a task I completed yesterday count?
   No. Each task only counts if you completed it on the day it was posted, from 00:00 onwards.
4. Can I win a skin twice?
   No. Each Halloween skin is available only once. If you already have it, the Bazaar will show it as ‘Already redeemed’.
5. What happens to my skin after the event?
   You get to keep it. You can still redesign your attraction in the Design Hall weeks later, or buy a new attraction with this version from the Market.
6. I’m not yet Level 33. Is ‘Psycho – Afterlife’ still worth it?
   You can win it now and keep it. You can equip it as soon as you own a Psycho, i.e. from Level 33 onwards.
7. Can I buy sweets with credits?
   Only within the last 48 hours, only for a specific offer, and only if you already have at least half the price in sweets.
8. What happens if I reset my account?
   When you reset your account, the event also restarts from the beginning: sweets, progress and all designs in your Design Hall will be deleted, as will the Design Hall itself. If you’ve purchased the Halloween Pack, your Doubler will remain active. The 30 starter sweets from the pack are included in the sweets that are deleted. You’ll keep any credits and Premium Days from the Spooky Bazaar. That’s why these purchases still count towards the offer’s limit even after a reset.

I’m really looking forward to seeing what you make of the event. It kicks off tomorrow! I hope you have lots of fun searching and collecting
