{{TOCright}}'''Trick Or Treat''' premiered at the [[Ebon Gate Festival]] in 2020 when the venue was still at [[Caligos Isle]] as a replacement to [[Deep Sea Diving]].  When the Ebon Gate Festival's permanent move to [[Evermore Hollow]], Trick-or-Treat had a few improvements introduced, along with a new neighborhood to knock on doors. 

==General Information==
Entry into the Trick-or-Treat grounds requires a key purchasable from the [[SimuCoin]] store in increments of 1, 10, 25, 50, 100, and 250, and the cost is 100 SimuCoins per entry. Once in the neighborhood, participants {{boldmono|[[KNOCK]]}} on doors and earn 10 '''[[#Prizes|treats]]'''. Once a door is knocked on, it will not be able to be knocked on by the same person for 30 seconds, meaning it is beneficial to move around the area to get the knocks in.

Approximately 1 in 4 knocks will be "tricks," where an undead enemy will drag you into a room with them. These enemies are level-appropriate. When looted, they have a small chance to drop a gem or a breakable object containing minor treasure. Tricks do not count against your ten total knocks, but do need to be dispatched before you can knock again. In addition to the normal experience for defeating an enemy, you will receive a significant amount of experience at the end of a Trick or Treat run for each trick you faced, which can cause you to become saturated.

The area is not instanced, and instead uses a new tactic with creatures that debuted with its introduction to Caligos Isle. The person who knocks is the only person the undead can attack. Anyone else can attack it though, so if you need help, get a friend to come join you! It is recommended to explore the area in pairs or small groups to stay safe. If you run away, the creature will follow you and immediately try to strike you. <!-- The following information needs to be verified before uncommenting out, or removed entirely if no longer accurate: Original release post:  If you end up leaving the area without releasing the undead, it will wait around for you in a special area. If it ends up killing you, it will be satisfied and you'll be able to knock again once you're back up on your feet. --> <!-- Updated post: There is now an exit inside if you wish to forfeit your entry. This really should only be used if you need to get out of there (injury, no way to attack undead, etc). -->

If you die inside of the area, you won't be removed. Instead, another player can heal you or the azure-robed ghostly cleric can.

Upon receiving the tenth treat, participants are immediately healed and removed from the neighborhood to the entrance. <!-- Historical information from Caligos.  Some already lines up with what was added to the article, but should be verified compared to rest of information and either commented out and whatever is missing merged into the appropriate spot, or removed if inaccurate: Upon exiting the area, you are healed. You'll also get credit for each undead you kill inside, up to 10, that awards you 100 additional experience (on top of the experience you get for killing the creatures) after you're moved out of the event by finishing your {{boldmono|KNOCKs}}. This can saturate you. If you're already saturated, it will be 25 instant experience (this was lowered from 100 experience in 2020). -->

===Prizes===
Participants are guaranteed to receive the following 10 "treats" with each entry:
* 8 handfuls of [[soul shard]]s, each numbering between 35-40 shards (or rarely significantly more)
* Two [[Trick-or-Treat candy|wrapped pieces of candy]]
<!--
Verify for accuracy - Occasionally, {{boldmono|KNOCKing}} on the door could result in more seashells. You will sometimes be awarded a small bag of seashells that will be between 100 and 200 seashells, however there is a chance participants will be awarded between 1000 and 2000 seashells. There are no special announcements, and the seashells are automatically redeemed. Comparatively, these extra seashells will be quite a bit more frequent than sewer caches at [[Duskruin Arena]]. -->

===Location===
Trick-or-Treat can be located in the northwest part of Evermore Hollow's outer circle, at Endeltime Estates neighborhood (Map ID: 22, Lich ID: 31980, Room ID: 8086199).
