It looks like a glitch but isn't - it just seems to keep repeating every time you finish it!

Is anyone else still stuck with the 'send kids trick-or-treating' repeating task? I've had it for over a week now and tried everything to move on, but it still continues to reset and the only other tasks I have going at the same time is with the green alien doing his thing, that's all :-\
It does keep repeating. It's fine and supposed to do. smile

how do you unlock the 2 missions in the crafting menu?

the mini pumpkin one and the haunted house one?

The house one unlocks once you have crafted Hugo and done his quests, the other once you have crafted the 'Grand pumpkin' which seems like it will take forever!!

Ah ok, I thought that might be the case but I had an issue with last years Halloween update that was basically the same thing - just wanted to make sure!

1600 or so off the donut machine, getting closer to getting Hugo. Do Hugo and the pumpkin thing time out in a few days at the same time as the donut machine?

Luckily I only need around 150. Should have those done today.

Really struggling to get enough stuff for the Pumpkin though.


Also, 3rd bit of clothing was a walking stick with a sword.

So, t shirt, cod piece, cane with a sword. Name the film hehe

Just got Hugo and the delightful donut torture machine - I could just watch it all day!
Not even close on the giant pumpkin

2 questions

1) Opened treat bags - shall I just convert them before they get discarded on Monday and don't open the new bags?
2) As asked before, do the pumpkin and Hugo dissapear on Monday from the crafting menu?

Would imagine the giant pumpkin stays but the donut machine will disappear Monday. Just a guess though.

Before then if can convert anything will do so but suspect apart from a weapons upgrade that isn't going to happen.

Close to donut machine, have Hugo and human specimen which was a prize. Nowhere near anything else.

So probably just not going to open new bags effectively from now once have the latest weapons upgrade. Not sure what that does tbh.

When you squish the aliens it creates a shockwave that will squish anything else in its wake. The higher your weapon is upgraded the wider this shockwave becomes and the more aliens you can squish in one tap.
Probably to the point of the entire screen by the end of the event.

The probe prizes will change, the treat bag prizes will stay the same and continue IIRC.

The donut machine will become a "craft item" if you don't unlock it.

How the hell are you guys collecting probes so quickly?? I'm pretty attentive as I usually work at home and can take 5 min to tap at various points through the day but I still have 1000 to collect for the donut machine!

I've gone through them far enough to stop getting probes, and dropped eggs when I have them. Amazed at the pace some people can get through the tasks!
