Trick or Treat
Trick or Treat is a yearly event in which you can attack other players in order to collect treats and fill a Halloween basket.
Players can purchase the beginning level of basket, the Halloween Basket : Spooky, from Sally's Sweet Shop in the City. 1,000 baskets are replenished every five minutes.
Once you have a basket, this will stay with you forever. Baskets do not need to be purchased every year- once purchased, a basket will always be on the account that bought it, as they cannot be traded.
In 2020, baskets became available for purchase at 12:00 TCT, while the actual event began at 14:00 TCT. The event now begins at 12:00 TCT. (source).

Honor Bars
There are three honor bars to be earned from this event, each from reaching a particular level of basket:
- Upgrade your Halloween Basket to Frightful level
- Upgrade your Halloween Basket to Terrifying level
- Upgrade your Halloween Basket to Nightmarish
Treats
The base chance for obtaining a treat after defeating a player is 35%. Each successive basket upgrade will provide an additional 5% chance of receiving a treat, meaning a Nightmarish basket will give an 80% chance of receiving a treat.
There are multiple options to spend treats on. Treats can be exchanged (all at once) for cans, candies, or alcohol. They may also be used to purchase upgrades which provide boosts to the number of treats collected in the future. Both options will permanently use up the treats.
Exchanging Treats for Items
The following is a list of possible items that can be received by exchanging treats without unlocking any upgrades:
More valuable items can be added to the pool once upgrades are purchased for the basket.
Purchasing Upgrades
There are four tiers of upgrades. When you start you have immediate access to tier I. tier II is unlocked at Frightful basket level, tier III is unlocked at Shocking basket level, and tier IV is unlocked at Horrifying basket level.
