How to Get the Trick or Treater Class in June 2026

The Halloween event has arrived in 99 Nights in The Forest, bringing with it the highly sought-after Trick or Treater Class – a limited-time exclusive that savvy players won’t want to miss. This comprehensive guide will walk you through every aspect of obtaining this special class, from collecting candles to maximizing your candy earnings, with advanced strategies that most guides overlook.

Quick Overview: Trick or Treater Class Essentials

What is the Trick or Treater Class?

The Trick or Treater Class is a special limited-time class introduced during the Halloween event in 99 Nights in The Forest. Unlike regular classes, this one offers unique advantages specifically designed for the Halloween event, making it essential for players who want to maximize their candy collection efficiency.

Key Class Features:

• Level 1 Perk: You get 4 candies per house you visit (instead of the standard 3)
• Level 2 Perk: Higher chance to get a treat rather than getting tricked
• Level 3 Perk: Increased drop and find rate for Halloween Candles
• Level Requirements: Level 2 requires trick-or-treating at 50 houses

This class transforms from a simple cosmetic item into a powerful tool for event progression, making it worth the investment for serious players.

How to Get Halloween Candles in June 2026?

Halloween Candles are the essential currency for unlocking trick-or-treating opportunities, and collecting them efficiently is crucial for obtaining the Trick or Treater Class. Here are all the proven methods to acquire these valuable items:

Primary Candle Collection Methods

1. Cultist Drops (Most Reliable)
   • Defeat regular cultists throughout the forest
   • Higher drop rates during Cultist Waves at night
   • Drop rate increases as you survive more nights in the forest
2. Cultist Waves (High Yield)
   • Participate in Cultist Wave modes
   • Focus on surviving as long as possible
   • Each wave increases your chances of obtaining candles
   • Longer survival = better odds of collecting more candles
3. Chest Looting (Consistent Source)
   • Open chests throughout the forest
   • Candles appear as bonus items
   • Classes like the Scavenger have improved chest loot chances
4. Special Events (High Reward)
   • Complete Cultist Strongholds
   • Finish Cultist Raids
   • These events have guaranteed or significantly increased candle drop rates

Advanced Candle Collection Strategies

Survival-Based Drop Rate Increase

The game mechanics reward persistence – the longer you survive in a single session, the higher your candle drop rates become. Don’t get discouraged if you’re not finding many candles early in your runs.

Group Play Advantage

When playing in a group, designate one player as the “candle collector” while others focus on defense. This specialization can significantly increase your overall candle yield.

Night-Time Focus

Cultist Waves occur primarily at night, making this the optimal time for candle farming. Plan your sessions around nighttime gameplay for maximum efficiency.

How to Trick or Treat Effectively in June 2026?

Once you have Halloween Candles, the real fun begins. Trick-or-treating is the primary method for earning candies, but doing it effectively requires understanding the mechanics and implementing smart strategies.

Step-by-Step Trick-or-Treating Process

1. Locate Houses
   • Various house types are scattered throughout the forest
   • Each house has different resident entities (developers and cultists)
   • Houses include: Green House (Viridial), Blue House (Cracky4), Purple House (Foryxe), Black House (Crossbow Cultist), Dark Red House (Melee Cultist)
2. Light Up Houses
   • Approach a house during daytime
   • Drag the Halloween Candle to the house’s front door
   • The house lights will turn on, indicating it’s ready for trick-or-treating
   • Important: You need a new candle for each house, every night
3. Return at Night
   • Visit the lit house during nighttime
   • Knock on the door to initiate the trick-or-treat interaction
   • The resident will “think” for a few seconds before deciding
4. Receive Rewards
   • Treats: Various valuable items plus candies
   • Tricks: Pranks, but you still receive 3 candies (4 with Trick or Treater class)

All Possible Treats and Tricks

Treats (Rewards):

• Fuel: Fuel Canister
• Food: Carrot Cake, Pumpkin
• Weapons: Laser Cannon, Raygun, Frozen Shurikens
• Armor: Frog Boots
• Currency: 5x Mossy Coins, Candies

Tricks (Pranks):

• Every item in your sack gets dropped
• Screen gets covered by a pumpkin
• Metal ball gets chained to your leg
• You get transformed into a frog and flinged away
• You get flinged away from the house
• Various other visual and gameplay effects

Advanced Trick-or-Treating Strategies

Multiple House Preparation

Light up multiple houses during the day so you can trick-or-treat at several locations during the night. This is especially effective for group play.

Deer Defense

Be aware that deer can attack you during the trick-or-treat cutscene. Some players report that using a flashlight can keep deer away during these vulnerable moments.

House Rotation Strategy

Since you need new candles for the same house each night, rotate between different houses to maximize your candy collection efficiency.

How to Get Candies Faster in June 2026?

While trick-or-treating is the primary method for earning candies, there are several additional strategies and hidden methods that most players overlook.

Hidden Lobby Candy Locations

Before even entering the forest, you can collect free candies in the main lobby:

1. Behind the Update Sign
   • Two candies hidden behind the Halloween 2026 update sign
   • Check this location every time you return to the lobby
2. Behind the Safe
   • One candy hidden behind the safe to the right of the Halloween pumpkin character
   • Easy to miss if you don’t know where to look
3. Inside the Pumpkin
   • One candy can spawn inside the pumpkin behind the Halloween NPC
   • Respawn timing appears to be after playing a game and returning to lobby

One-Time Dialogue Reward

Talk to “Happy the Halloween Guy” (the Halloween NPC) in this specific order to receive 3 free candies:

1. “I have a question.”
2. “Who are you?”
3. “How do you stay so happy?”
4. “Way too deep man, can I have some candy?”

This is a one-time reward per account, so make sure to get it early in the event.

Code Rewards

Keep an eye out for 99 Nights in The Forest codes, as many of them during the Halloween event will provide handfuls of free candies. These codes are typically shared on the game’s social media channels.

Trick or Treater Class Advantage

Once you obtain the Trick or Treater Class, you’ll earn 4 candies per house instead of 3, making it 33% more efficient for candy collection. This creates a positive feedback loop where the class helps you earn more candies faster.

How to Redeem Your Trick or Treater Class in June 2026?

Once you’ve collected 30 candies, redeeming your Trick or Treater Class is straightforward. Here’s the exact process:

1. Return to the Main Lobby
   • Exit your current game session
   • Navigate to the main lobby area
2. Locate the Halloween NPC
   • Find “Happy the Halloween Guy” (also referred to as “Pumpkin Reaper” in some sources)
   • He’s typically surrounded by pumpkin decorations and Halloween-themed items
3. Access the Halloween Shop
   • Interact with the NPC
   • Select the Halloween Shop option from the dialogue menu
4. Purchase the Class
   • Browse the shop items until you find the Trick or Treater Class
   • Verify you have 30 candies available
