Under the eerie glow of the moon, 99 Nights in the Forest hides more than shadows-candles, candies, and secrets await those bold enough to trick or treat through the haunted woods of Roblox’s Halloween event.
This article explains everything about Trick or Treat in 99 Nights in the Forest, so that you can get a lot of Halloween shop candies.
99 Nights in the Forest Trick or Treat Explained
Participants in 99 Nights in the Forest learn to move quietly, barter creatively for candles, and trade treats while respecting the woods and fellow trick-or-treaters; this guide breaks down the rules, timing, and safety tips to make each night a small, memorable adventure.
Lighting the new NPC houses with Halloween candles in 99 Nights in the Forest lets you Trick or Treat. After starting your game round, you’ll notice that there are Pumpkins and spider webs in the forest. By following the decorations, you can also find random houses in the forest, like the Fairy NPC house, Alien NPC house, and some more. Knocking on these houses will make the NPC give you candies as a treat or trick you.
Each home has a different NPC, who will come out and give you Candies. You’ll also need one candle to light each house, and you’ll be notified if a new house is available to light up. Always check your map to see which houses are available for collecting Candies. The locations will be indicated by a Grey Hut with a Candy symbol. You can also use 99 Nights in the Forest codes to gather more candies.
Once done, you need to wait for Night, as you cannot Trick or Treat during the day in 99 Nights in the Forest. After you have lit the house and it’s night, knock on the door of the houses. While you’ll always get some guaranteed Candies as a Treat, sometimes they might trick you and transform you into a frog or attach a Prison Ball on your leg. The Trick lasts for around five seconds, which won’t be an issue.
You can use Candies to buy new 99 Nights in the Forest classes and items from the Scarecrow NPC Shop in the lobby. You will get a sufficient amount of them by playing the event.
How to Get Halloween Candles in 99 Nights in the Forest
In a moonlit forest, follow hidden paths and gather three enchanted candles from glowing mushroom rings, then light them one by one to reveal a safe route through the trees and earn your Halloween candles after a night of trick-or-treating across the 99-night forest quest.
Before you light up the NPC houses, you must find the candles in the game. You can get Halloween Candles from Cultist drops and chests in 99 Nights in the Forest.

Killing a Cultist will have a chance to drop a Halloween Candle. During the early days, you’ll get fewer Candles as the drop rate is very low.
However, after Day 4, the drop rate slightly increases, especially after the Cultist attack on your camp. The more Days you survive, the higher the Candle drop rate. We recommend hunting down Cultists in the Volcanic Biome, as there are plenty of them in the buildings.
Best locations to farm Halloween Candles fast
The Cultist Stronghold stands out as the top spot for rapidly farming Halloween Candles in 99 Nights in the Forest on Roblox. Players consistently report 3-4 candles per clear, with drop rates improving deeper into the stronghold as you defeat more cultists. Opt for the Volcanic Biome version for denser cultist spawns and easier access.
Cultist Stronghold Strategy
Enter the stronghold after Day 4 when raids intensify, using meta weapons like Laser Cannon, Morningstar, or Infernal Sword for quick kills. Progress through levels methodically-each cleared wave boosts candle drops-and equip armor against tougher enemies. Repeat clears in a loop, as resets allow multiple runs per night cycle.
Alternative Fast Spots
Cultist raids at your base every 4-5 days drop up to 5 candles total, especially if you trap and farm the waves efficiently. Treasure chests scattered map-wide yield 1-2 candles randomly, best combined with stronghold routes. Volcanic Biome raids outside strongholds offer steady cultist density for supplemental farming.
Best stronghold routes for maximum candle yield
The Cultist Stronghold in the Volcanic Biome offers the best routes for maximum Halloween Candle yield in 99 Nights in the Forest. Players prioritize linear paths through its multi-level structure, defeating cultist waves on each floor for 3-4 candles per full clear, with deeper levels yielding higher drops from elite enemies. Focus on the Volcanic variant for denser spawns and faster resets.
Optimal Stronghold Route
Start at the entrance and push straight through the main hallway, clearing side rooms only if cultists cluster there-prioritize wave bosses for instant candle drops. Use high-mobility weapons like Laser Cannon to skip trash mobs and hit the elevator to lower levels quickly, netting 1-2 candles per floor. Exit via the back portal after the final boss for a reset, repeating 3-4 times per night cycle.
Gear and Tips
Equip Morningstar or Infernal Sword for AoE clears, full armor sets, and fire resistance against Volcanic hazards. Go post-Day 4 during raid peaks, and team up for 20-30% more drops from shared kills. Combine with base raids every 4-5 days for 5 extra candles without leaving your defenses.
