⚠️ NOT YET CONFIRMED IN-GAME. Drafted Sept 23 2026 from Gameloft’s own Season of Scares announcement and event blog. Treat the wording as provisional until the in-game pass. ⚠️ THE DEADLINE IS ON STARTING, NOT FINISHING, AND IT IS A YEAR-LONG MISS. Gameloft: begin Oogie Boogie’s FIRST quest before NOVEMBER 4 and you can finish the rest at your own pace afterwards — he leaves the Valley that day, but an already-started questline stays completable. Never start it, and he returns "around Halloween next year". Six weekly chapters: Sept 23 A Halloween Invasion, Sept 30 The Oogie Boogie Contract, Oct 7 The Ghost in the Portrait, Oct 14 Rescue Mission, Oct 21 Let the Games Begin, Oct 28 Oogie Boogie’s Big Game.

• missableStart Oogie Boogie’s first quest

  ⚠️ BEFORE NOVEMBER 4. Requires The Peaceful Meadow, Scrooge McDuck’s Store and Chez Remy unlocked. Watch your Mail, then go to Scrooge McDuck’s Store and step through the mysterious mirror. Starting it is the whole deadline — one quest protects the entire six-week chain.
• Work through the six weekly chapters at your own pace

  A new challenge unlocks each week, but they do not expire individually once you have begun. Check back weekly rather than racing.
• Unlock Zero

  Jack Skellington’s ghostly pup, a permanent Companion.

  Reward Zero (Companion)
• Complete the full questline to unlock Oogie Boogie

  He becomes a permanent Villager. This is the reward the November 4 start deadline is protecting.

  Reward Oogie Boogie (Villager)

⚠️ NOT YET CONFIRMED IN-GAME. Drafted Sept 23 2026 from Gameloft’s own Season of Scares announcement and event blog. Treat the wording as provisional until the in-game pass. ⚠️ AN UNUSUAL STAR PATH: the Astronomer’s Journey is PERMANENT and available to all players, unlike every other Star Path, which expires with its season. There is no deadline on it and no reason to rush it.

• Begin the Astronomer’s Journey Star Path

  Unlock your first Realm, then speak with Merlin. Complete its quests at your own pace for astronomy-inspired rewards.
• Place the Event Board in the Plaza

  The Astronomer’s Journey asks you to site it. It then tracks up to three live events at once, holds messages you leave, and shows messages from Valley Visitors — so it replaces hunting through the Menu for what is running.

⚠️ NOT YET CONFIRMED IN-GAME. Drafted Sept 23 2026 from Gameloft’s own Season of Scares announcement and event blog. Treat the wording as provisional until the in-game pass. The Exhibition ENDS here — these are the last two rooms, so completing it is now possible for the first time.

• Set up the Emote Wheel

  Emotes and poses now work outside Photo Mode. Villagers react to them, which is its own small reward.
• Share a Decoration Preset by code

  ⚠️ CODES EXPIRE AFTER 14 DAYS, though they keep working even if you change or delete the original Preset. Gameloft is also giving away three seasonal Presets by code through its socials.
