The Halloween Spotlight event features Adopt Me among its highlighted games, offering exclusive rewards like a Rune and Key through seasonal activities. Access the event by entering the Cursed Clearing portal and locating Patchy’s Arcade on Adoption Island. Three limited-time challenges—The Hauntlet, Costume Party, and Sleep or Treat—await, each yielding Candy Corn upon completion.
This walkthrough outlines effective strategies to gather Candy Corn and claim both event rewards.
Earning the Spotlight Rune in Adopt Me

Earning the Rune requires collecting 4,000 Candy Corn by participating in event activities, except the Where Bear mini-game. Costume Party proves most efficient: Design pets according to random themes within 90 seconds, then vote for favorites. Even minimal participation rewards roughly 2,800 Candy Corn per round, enabling players to secure the Rune in just two sessions. Upon reaching the threshold, the badge unlocks standard rewards in the event hub, including limited UGC items.
Obtaining the Event Key




After claiming the Rune, focus on the Key objective: Accumulate 3,000 Candy Corn in one game session three times. Sleep or Treat is ideal—collect candy by door-knocking across a haunted neighborhood while dodging DJ Snooze’s sleep attacks. Utilize Headset and Candy Potion boosts to maintain efficiency. Each successful run yields 3,500+ Candy Corn, allowing players to finish the Key quest in three attempts.
Optimizing Halloween Spotlight Gameplay




- Prioritize public servers for increased Candy Corn rewards.
