To fully enjoy the event, players should prepare throughout the month:

: Nook's Cranny sells one piece of Candy per day for 120 Bells. It is recommended to have at least 15–30 pieces for Halloween night.

Several items are only obtainable during the actual Halloween night event: Jack's Halloween Event Guide & Rewards For Animal Crossing

: Players can buy Pumpkin Starts from Nook's Cranny or Leif to grow orange, green, yellow, and white pumpkins used for crafting and customizing the Spooky Series furniture.

: Villagers roam the island in costumes. If you give them Candy, they may reward you with Lollipops, Spooky Series DIY recipes, or furniture.

: If you refuse to give Candy to a villager, they will "trick" you by applying Halloween face paint or changing your skin and eye colors.

: You can learn the Haunt reaction from Jack and the Scare reaction from villagers after giving them Candy. Exclusive Rewards
