Tiles Survive Halloween 2026: Event Dates, Rewards and How to Participate

The Tiles Survive Halloween 2026 celebration begins on October 26, bringing limited-time activities, collectible rewards, progression materials, and a chance to unlock a permanent Pumpkin Castle appearance. The main Halloween Bash runs through November 8, while the separate Jack-o’-Lantern web event offers additional rewards for completing daily tasks, inviting friends, and helping the community reach its lighting target.

For Chiefs looking to make the most of the event, the key is knowing which rewards require regular participation, which milestones are worth prioritizing, and when each deadline arrives. From the Costume Workshop and Halloween puzzle to the web event's reward pool and the Halloween Fan Art Contest, this guide organizes the available activities around their rewards and participation requirements.

1. When Do the Halloween Events Start and End?

The Halloween activities have different deadlines, so the dates should be tracked separately rather than treated as one shared event period.

To make the most of the celebration, permanent appearance rewards and workshop milestones are worth tracking alongside daily tasks and puzzle progress. Web-event attempts should be claimed before the daily reset, and the Fan Art Contest entry should be submitted before its earlier deadline. The event pass also deserves a final check so that eligible rewards are not left unclaimed.

2. Which Halloween Rewards Are Worth Prioritizing?

The Halloween celebration offers several types of rewards, including permanent settlement appearances, Spools, Gems, hero development materials, speedups, and limited-time collectibles. The most suitable activities depend on whether the goal is to obtain a permanent cosmetic, strengthen heroes, or collect additional resources.

Permanent Pumpkin Castle and Settlement Appearances

One of the main attractions is the permanent Pumpkin Castle appearance. Its listed bonuses are:

1. Troop Attack: +2%
2. Hero Attack: +300
3. Hero Defense: +150

Reaching Costume Workshop Level 22 or opening appearance-choice chests provides access to permanent settlement appearances. Available designs include Pumpkin Castle, First-anniversary Show, Farm, Eco-decoration, Rainbow-city, Snow-globe, and Harvest-themed designs.

For players interested in progression rewards as well as cosmetics, the Costume Workshop is worth monitoring throughout Halloween Bash. Its 22 levels have point requirements ranging from 500 to 75,000, and crafting costs 20 Spools per attempt. The workshop features Sarge, Maddie, Ghost, Rosie, Rusty, Angelina, Lucky, and Ray. VIP progress can also unlock a secret order.

The event leaderboard offers additional incentives at the following point thresholds:

Spools, Gems, and Hero Development Materials

The Halloween event also provides resources for progression. The event pass has an 800-point requirement and three reward columns: the free column grants 30 Spools, the middle paid column grants 200 Spools, and the rightmost paid column grants 400 Spools plus a Gem reward. An advanced pass provides additional rewards. Any unclaimed event-pass rewards can be collected from the Rewards Hall after the event.

The resource-choice crate contains one of the following resource options:

1. 100,000 Food
2. 100,000 Wood
3. 20,000 Metal
4. 5,000 Fuel

Other available rewards across the Halloween activities include Hero Skill Manuals, upgrade materials, recruitment tokens, Behemoth-related items, Gear Scraps, and speedups.

The daily login rewards include:

The premium Day 1 login reward includes 50 Spools and 2 Puzzle Pieces.

Puzzle Rewards and Daily Task Bonuses

The Halloween puzzle uses a nine-slot board. Players can request puzzle pieces up to three times per day, and completing Puzzle 10 grants its associated reward. Completing the full challenge chest also provides a permanent chat-status reward.

Candy Flip tasks offer another route to progression. The listed tasks include logging in once, completing five Intel Missions, using 120 minutes of speedups, and making five Alliance donations.

The Candy task grid is 4 × 4 and includes objectives such as:

1. Gathering 10 million resources
2. Defeating 10 Infected
3. Using 600 or 3,000 minutes of speedups
4. Making 25 or 80 Alliance donations
5. Spending 1,000 Gems
6. Completing 5 or 30 Intel Missions
7. Fighting 10 Arena battles
8. Completing 10 or 60 Advanced Recruitments
9. Training 1,000 troops

Completing the full grid grants 10 Puzzle Pieces.

3. How to Earn More Rewards from the Jack-o’-Lantern Web Event

The Jack-o’-Lantern web event runs from October 26, 2026, at 00:00 UTC, until November 8, 2026, at 23:59 UTC. It provides a separate set of rewards through daily activities, one-time website and social tasks, friend invitations, and a shared community milestone.

Daily and One-Time Tasks

Each of the following daily tasks provides one attempt: Daily Login, Share, Purchase, and Store Visit. The Purchase task refers to the first in-game cash purchase of the day.

The one-time tasks each provide one attempt and include visiting the official website and the game's Discord, Facebook, Instagram, X, VK, YouTube, TikTok, FunPlus Zone, and WhatsApp channels.

Friend invitations offer additional milestone attempts, with milestones ranging from 1 to 30 friends.

Daily tasks reset at 00:00 UTC. Unclaimed daily attempts expire at the reset, while attempts that have already been claimed can be saved. Personal rewards are sent by mail to the currently logged-in character. The in-game Mail system must be unlocked to receive them, and reward mail remains valid for 30 days.

What Can the Jack-o’-Lantern Reward Pool Drop?

Each of the 10 listed rewards has a 10% drop rate:

Community Lighting Milestones

The community event has a total target of 2,000,000 lightings. Players must log in with their UID and light at least one pumpkin to qualify for the community rewards.

Community milestone rewards are scheduled to be distributed within 15 business days after the event ends.

Friend-Binding Gifts

Binding an invitation relationship can provide the One in Ten Million title, Thirty Million Cheers avatar frame, Forty Million Cheers chat bubble, and Skin Tickets. Reward mail remains valid for 30 days, and the binding relationship cannot be reversed once established.

4. How to Enter the Halloween Fan Art Contest

The Halloween Fan Art Contest offers a creative alternative to in-game progression and web-event tasks. Submissions close on November 1, 2026, at 23:59 UTC. Judging takes place from November 2 to 10, with winner announcements scheduled for November 11–13.

Only original artwork is accepted; AI-generated art is prohibited. Multiple works may be submitted, but each player can receive only one award, with the highest eligible prize taking priority. Winners are selected across all participating platforms together.

Contest Prizes

For participants planning to enter, the November 1 submission deadline is the most important date to keep in mind. The judging and announcement periods follow after submissions close.

Pumpkins, puzzles, costumes, and a castle straight out of a Halloween dream—there is plenty to explore during this year's celebration. Whether the goal is to unlock Pumpkin Castle, collect development materials, or help the community light every last pumpkin, a little planning can make the event more rewarding. After all, surviving the wasteland is hard enough without letting Halloween goodies vanish into thin air. Happy Halloween, Chiefs!
