Disney Dreamlight Valley has officially launched its 2024 Trick or Treat event, giving players the chance to unlock an exclusive Halloween-themed item. While the annual event is coming a bit later than some Disney Dreamlight Valley players expected, it has returned for its third consecutive year, letting them get in on some spooky holiday fun.
The game, which lets players build their own village filled with classic Disney characters, was officially released in December 2023, but the Trick or Treat event has been held since its Early Access days, starting in the fall of 2022. Early this month, the developers at Gameloft revealed big plans for the October update to Disney Dreamlight Valley. While the introduction of the Jungle Getaway content finally let players interact with The Lion King's Timon and Pumbaa and introduced a new rock music-themed Star Path, the initial plans didn't mention anything about the Trick or Treat event.
Disney Dreamlight Valley Player Points Out Disturbing Request From Pumbaa
Disney Dreamlight Valley's Pumbaa makes some really creepy gift requests that are creeping out a lot of the cozy game's players.
A second update confirming plans for Halloween in Disney Dreamlight Valley followed shortly after, and the annual Trick or Treat celebration officially kicked off on October 23. Through the end of the month, players will once again be able to collect candy from three different colors of bowls in the game's plaza. Through their participation in the annual event, players will unlock this year's special item, the Mickey's Halloween Candy Bowl, which they will then be able to craft from five clay and two of each color of candy.
Trick or Treat Returns to Disney Dreamlight Valley for 2024
While Mickey's Halloween Candy Bowl stands alone as the only new reward for completing missions in this year's event, participating in Disney Dreamlight Valley's Trick or Treat activities also allows players to snag some other Halloween-themed items they may have missed out on from previous years. These include three different styles of Jack-o-Lantern, which can be unlocked by eating increasing amounts of candy; a Mickey Mouse Pumpkin for giving candy to 10 different villagers, and a Pumpkin Stack for harvesting 100 pumpkins.
While it wasn't centered on Halloween content as some players expected, the Jungle Getaway update still set the stage for those looking to dress up their characters for the holiday event. That update included te introduction of digital replicas of Loungefly backpacks styled after Disney characters, including the Mickey BOO backpack, which features the famous mouse as a bedsheet ghost. Players can still pick up this particular backpack for free by entering code DDV2024OOOOO in the Redemption Code input screen through November 20, 2024.
