The Annual Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
November 2024 Update: The servers will be going offline on November 20th. The paid "hat" build of the game will not be downloadable during off season since payments are also disabled. Thanks for another wonderful festival. See you in 2025!
COME ON DOWN TO GHOST TOWN!
Explore our annual festival with up to 500 other ghosts! Every October, our countryside village is illuminated by hundreds of jack-o-lanterns carved by your fellow spectres. The cool autumn breeze will soon become the cold wind of winter, so enjoy the haunting season while it lasts!
- Carve a digital pumpkin (without all the mess of carving a real one!)
- Find the perfect spot for your pumpkin at the festival, and win prize ribbons from the other ghosts!
- Run into strangers and make friends! Create silly chat messages by combining words from templates.
- Explore a variety of attractions and collect pins to commemorate your discoveries.
- NEW THIS YEAR: Investigate an escape-room style manor with tricky puzzles. Expect roughly two hours of puzzling!
Spooky regards,
Mayor Bones
INFORMATION:
- If you pay at least $2, you can download a special version that gives you access to a variety of costume HATS!
- Each player can upload up to six pumpkins to the server.
- The online portion of the game will only be available for a limited time. The server will probably go down a few weeks after Halloween.
- Please note that any pumpkins placed while moderators are offline may be placed into a queue for review when they come back online - please bear with us if your pumpkin is not visible right away! Your spot will be reserved. This is a measure to prevent griefing.
