Dandy's World Halloween 2026 Guide: Update 0.29.9, Haunted Gala, Trick or Treat Doors, and the Greed Meter
Posted: Thu Oct 22, 2026 10:12 am
Quick Summary
The Halloween Event is the sixth limited event in Dandy's World and runs from October 2 to November 6, 2026. It is not a reskin. It adds a full set of seasonal content on top of the normal run loop.Dandy's World Wiki
The four limited-time Toons come back: Gourdy Holloway, Eclipse the Werewolf, Soulvester the Ghostly Knight, and Ribecca the Skeleton. Alongside them the event reintroduces Pumpkins, an event currency, and adds a Halloween makeover to the lobby, seasonal skins, two limited-time floors, a new floor event, and a mechanic that shows up on every floor called the Trick or Treat Doors.
Gourdy's Store also returns for the event, selling skins, stickers and prints. That shop matters if you want the seasonal cosmetics rather than the free ones.
There are two advent calendars running during the event. Logging in each day hands out Pumpkins, and the streaks unlock exclusive skins. The first calendar pays out the Unearthed Spirit skin for Gourdy if you claim all 12 days, and the second unlocks the Found Knight skin for Soulvester if you claim all 13 days.
One thing worth saying plainly: the limited Toons and the event currency are only available while the event window is open. The exact prices in Pumpkins are not something I can confirm from the sources I checked, so treat any number you see quoted elsewhere as unverified until you see it in the shop yourself.
Update 0.29.9, what actually changed
The official game page lists version 0.29.9 with four headline items: a new bundle for Queens of Mischief, two limited-time Halloween floors, a new Haunted Gala floor event, and Gourdy's event shop returning with a new Spooky-time skin pack.Roblox
The same page carries two disclaimers that are worth taking seriously. The first is that the experience may include bright or flashing lights and may affect photosensitive players. The second is that the game is still in Alpha, so you should expect bugs and shutdowns, and the developers ask that you report anything you find to the BlushCrunch Studio server.
Alpha has a practical consequence for this guide. Prices, abilities and even event costs can shift between patches, so use the numbers below as a snapshot of the current build rather than a permanent chart.
How a run works
The loop is the same on every floor, and it repeats until your team either dies or chooses to leave through the elevator.games.gg
The newer Duo Machines are the biggest change to how teams move. Two players can extract from the same machine at the same time, which roughly halves the time per machine. The catch is that both players have to land their skill checks. If either one fails, the machine explodes and tells the whole floor where you are.
Failing a check is not a small mistake. Extraction stops, the machine detonates, and every Twisted on the floor gets your position. Abandon the machine, find cover, and come back when the coast is clear.
Toons, stats and roles
Every Toon has the same six stats: Health, Movement Speed, Stamina, Stealth, Skill Check and Extraction Speed. The mix is what separates them.BlockPlayGuide
Starter Toons have three Hearts. Main Characters have only two, which is a real tradeoff on deeper floors.games.gg
Twisteds come in four behaviour classes, and learning which one is on your floor is the difference between reaching floor 30 and wiping on floor 12.dandysworld.org
This is the mechanic that catches most mid-game players off guard. Dandy runs the shop on even floors, and he tracks how often your team ignores him. If your squad hoards Tapes and finishes floor 10 with more than 50 unspent, his hidden Greed Meter climbs. Ignore his shop three times in a row and it maxes out, and Twisted Dandy spawns later in the run as a fast, relentless hunter.games.gg
The fix is cheap. Buy one inexpensive item, such as a Bandage or a small Trinket, on every second shop visit. That resets the frustration timer and keeps him behind the counter.
Two rooms have passive properties that most players never learn:games.gg
Codes worth redeeming now
Three codes are active at the time of writing. All three are redeemed in the lobby, at the first computer near Dyle's Store, which carries a sign reading Redeem Codes Here.Codes wiki
FAQ
Is Dandy's World free to play?
Yes. Toons are unlocked with Ichor, the currency you earn in runs. The game's store sells optional cosmetic packs and bundles for Robux, and none of them are needed to progress.BlockPlayGuide
Is Dandy's World scary for younger players?
It is mascot horror, so the Twisteds are designed to startle. The official game page warns that the experience may include bright or flashing lights and may affect photosensitive players, and that is the line worth reading before you let a younger player in.Roblox
What is the best starter Toon?
Boxten is stronger in a coordinated group because of his extraction speed. Poppy is the better solo pick because her movement speed and damage-triggered boost let her escape without perfect stamina management. Neither choice locks you out of anything.games.gg
What happens if I fail a skill check?
Extraction stops and the machine explodes, alerting every Twisted on the floor. Leave immediately and come back later. On a Duo Machine, one failed check takes out both players.games.gg
How do I unlock Main Characters?
Buy them from the lobby shop with Ichor, but you first have to encounter that character's Twisted version during runs. Each encounter rewards Research Capsules that fill a tracker, and hitting 100 percent unlocks the playable version for purchase. Focus on one tracker at a time.games.gg
What should I spend Ichor on first?
Unlock Main Characters before you invest in trinkets. Their abilities and higher stat ceilings outperform Standard Toons on deeper floors. Once your core roster is set, spend on trinkets.games.gg

How a run works
The loop is the same on every floor, and it repeats until your team either dies or chooses to leave through the elevator.games.gg
- Spawn on the current floor and locate the Ichor extraction machines.
- Work a machine to fill it. Working a machine is what makes noise, and noise is what pulls nearby Twisteds toward you.
- Hit your skill checks. A failed check stops extraction and the machine explodes loudly, which alerts every Twisted on the floor to your position.
- Collect Ichor and Research on the Twisteds you meet.
- When the machine quota for the floor is met, take the elevator down and repeat on the next floor.

Starter Toons have three Hearts. Main Characters have only two, which is a real tradeoff on deeper floors.games.gg
- Poppy, starter. High baseline movement speed and a speed boost after taking damage. The best solo pick and the safest default if nobody on the team wants to distract.BlockPlayGuide
- Boxten, starter. High baseline extraction speed. The better pick in a coordinated team where someone else handles the Twisteds.
- Astro, Main Character. Two Hearts, support role, distraction and stamina recovery.
- Vee, Main Character. Two Hearts, utility, map awareness and enemy tracking.
- Shelly, Main Character. Two Hearts, balanced, objective focus and durability.
- Sprout, Main Character. Two Hearts, stealth, high speed.
- Pebble, Main Character. Two Hearts, expert kiter, high agility.
Twisteds come in four behaviour classes, and learning which one is on your floor is the difference between reaching floor 30 and wiping on floor 12.dandysworld.org
- Chasers pursue you and lose interest when you break line of sight. Twisted Boxten and Twisted Poppy are Chasers.
- Neutrals are harmless until you provoke them. Twisted Glisten turns aggressive if left unattended.
- Snipers have long range and are the worst in dark areas. Twisted Goob is a Sniper.
- Stompers are the deadliest, with enhanced speed and range. Twisted Astro and Twisted Dandy are Stompers.
This is the mechanic that catches most mid-game players off guard. Dandy runs the shop on even floors, and he tracks how often your team ignores him.

Two rooms have passive properties that most players never learn:games.gg
- The Library applies a 20 percent sound dampening effect. Break line of sight and duck inside and your footsteps will not carry through walls to the Twisteds. It is the best looping location in the building.
- The Cafeteria gives a passive 10 percent stamina regeneration buff while you are inside it. Treat it as a recovery checkpoint between machine runs.
