99 Nights In The Forest Candies July 2026 Farming Tips

The Halloween event has finally arrived in 99 Nights in the Forest, bringing spooky decorations, new NPCs, and a special in-game currency – Candies. These Candies can be exchanged at the Halloween Shop for unique items, furniture, and even new classes. Whether you want to unlock the Trick or Treater class or decorate your camp with Halloween furniture, you’ll first need to stock up on plenty of Candies.

Here’s a complete guide on how to get Candies fast in 99 Nights in the Forest and what you can buy with them.

Quick Overview

What Are Candies Used For?

Candies are the main currency of the Halloween event in 99 Nights in the Forest. You can use them at the Halloween Shop, which is located in the main lobby. The shop can be accessed by interacting with the NPC “Happy the Halloween Guy.”

Inside the shop, you’ll find exclusive Halloween-themed items such as spooky furniture, pet skins, and limited-time classes. Some items have a clock symbol, meaning they’ll disappear after the Halloween event ends, while others are permanent additions to your collection.

How to Get Candies in 99 Nights in the Forest?

There are several reliable methods to collect Candies during the Halloween update. Some are quick and easy, while others take a bit more effort, but all are worth it if you want to grab everything from the shop before the event ends.

1. Trick or Treating (Main Method)

The best way to earn Candies is by Trick or Treating at NPC houses during night rounds. This method requires Halloween Candles, which you’ll need to collect first.

Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Collect Halloween Candles

• Defeat Cultists or open Chests to find Candles
• The drop rate increases as you survive more nights
• Best location for finding Cultists: Volcanic Biome
• Scavenger class has better chances of finding Candles in chests

Step 2: Light Up NPC Houses

• Approach spooky houses in the forest (Fairy, Alien, etc.)
• Drag a Candle to the house’s front door
• The house will light up, indicating it’s ready for Trick or Treating
• Check your map for Grey Hut icons with Candy symbols

Step 3: Trick or Treat at Night

• Wait until nighttime in the game
• Knock on the door of lit houses
• An NPC will appear and give you Candies as a reward
• Sometimes they might “trick” you – like turning you into a frog or attaching a ball and chain – but you’ll still get Candies either way

Important Notes:

• You can Trick or Treat at multiple houses every night
• Each house requires a new Candle for subsequent nights
• Tricks last about 5 seconds and aren’t harmful
• Deer may attack during Trick or Treating – use flashlight to keep them away

2. Finding Candies in the Lobby

Before starting your game, take a moment to look around the main lobby area. Candies occasionally spawn in random spots such as:

• Behind the Scarecrow NPC
• Near the Update Board
• Behind the safe to the right of Happy the Halloween Guy
• Inside the pumpkin behind Happy
• Around the edges of the map or decorations

These free Candies can be collected instantly and are an easy way to top up your balance. The spawn rate seems random, but checking after every match increases your chances.

3. Talking to Happy the Halloween Guy

You can earn three free Candies just by talking to Happy the Halloween Guy in the lobby. This is a one-time reward, but here’s the correct dialogue order to unlock it:

1. “I have a question.”
2. “Who are you?”
3. “How do you stay so happy?”
4. “Way too deep, man. Can I have some candy?”

After following this dialogue, Happy will reward you with three Candies instantly. Make sure to follow the exact order to get this bonus.

4. Redeem Halloween Codes in July 2026?

The developers occasionally release Halloween event codes that can grant you bonus Candies. These limited-time codes often expire quickly, so redeem them as soon as they’re posted.

Current Working Code:

• happyhalloween – Redeem for 10x Candy

How to Redeem Codes:

1. Go to the main menu
2. Locate the Diamond icon next to the green plus in the bottom left corner
3. When the Diamond menu opens up, find the blue codes button on the right
4. Click codes
5. Enter the code exactly as shown and press Redeem

Keep an eye on the official 99 Nights in the Forest Discord or Twitter page for new code drops. The code “afterparty” is also available but gives Gems instead of Candy.

Best Way to Farm Candies Fast

If you want to collect Candies quickly, follow this simple strategy:

Day Phase Strategy

1. Focus on Cultist Hunting
   • Target the Volcanic Biome for high Cultist density
   • Use classes with combat advantages for faster kills
   • Open every chest you find for potential Candle drops
   • Survive as many days as possible to increase drop rates

Night Phase Strategy

1. Maximize Trick or Treating
   • Light up multiple houses during the day using Candles
   • Visit all lit houses during nighttime for maximum Candy collection
   • Play in a group to cover more houses simultaneously
   • Use flashlight to ward off deer during Trick or Treating

Between Rounds

1. Lobby Candy Collection
   • Check all known Candy spawn points after each match
   • Look behind the Scarecrow, Update Board, safe, and inside pumpkin
   • Don’t forget to talk to Happy if you haven’t already

Additional Tips

• Redeem new event codes whenever available
• Focus on surviving longer matches for better Candle drop rates
• Consider playing with friends to divide tasks (some hunt Cultists, others prepare houses)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Wasting Candles

• Don’t light houses during the day if you won’t survive to night
• Plan your Candle usage based on how long you expect to survive
• Remember each house needs a new Candle each night

2. Missing Lobby Candies

• Always check the lobby before starting a new match
• Candies respawn after matches, so check consistently
• Look in all corners and behind objects

3. Ignoring the Dialogue Order

• Follow the exact dialogue sequence with Happy the Halloween Guy
• Skipping steps or changing order will prevent getting the 3 Candy bonus

4. Poor Timing

• Don’t try to Trick or Treat during the day (won’t work)
• Make sure you have enough time in your match to reach nighttime
• Plan your house lighting based on your expected survival time

Pro Strategies for Advanced Players

1. Class Optimization

• Scavenger Class: Better chances of finding Candles in chests

• Communicate about which houses are lit and ready
• Share Candle resources among team members

3. Resource Management

• Save Candles for longer matches where you can use multiple houses
• Don’t use all Candles on one house – spread them out
• Keep track of which houses you’ve already visited

4. Map Knowledge

• Learn the locations of common house spawn points

FAQ

What is the fastest way to get Candies in 99 Nights in the Forest?

The fastest way to get Candies is through Trick or Treating at multiple NPC houses each night. Focus on collecting Candles during the day by defeating Cultists, then use them to light up houses and Trick or Treat at night. Playing in a group can significantly increase your Candy collection rate.

How long do Halloween event items last?

Items with a clock symbol next to them in the Halloween Shop are limited-time and will disappear after the Halloween event ends. Items without the clock symbol are permanent and will stay in your inventory forever. The Trick or Treater class is limited-time, while furniture items like the Jack-o’-lantern are permanent.

Can you get Candies without Candles?

Yes, there are several ways to get Candies without Candles: finding them in the lobby, talking to Happy the Halloween Guy (one-time reward), and redeeming codes like “happyhalloween” for 10 Candies. However, Trick or Treating, which is the main farming method, does require Candles.

What’s the best class for farming Candies?

The Scavenger class is excellent for finding Candles in chests, while combat-focused classes are better at defeating Cultists for Candle drops. Once unlocked, the Trick or Treater class gives more Candies per house, making it ideal for late-game farming.

Do Candies reset after the event?

No, Candies you collect during the Halloween event will remain in your inventory after the event ends. However, you won’t be able to collect new Candies or purchase limited-time items once the event is over. Make sure to spend your Candies before the event ends if you want limited-time rewards.

Final Thoughts

The Halloween update in 99 Nights in the Forest is one of the most exciting seasonal events yet, filled with fun activities, themed furniture, and exclusive classes. Gathering Candies might take some effort, but the rewards, from the Pumpkin Bunny to the Skeleton Wolf, make it worth it.
