Harvest Carnival

*This article only includes the 2023 version of the event. If you have any additional information of the previous years, please include them in parts of this article when necessary.*

The **Harvest Carnival** (formerly known as **The Great Harvest**) is an annual site-wide event where players are able to access a carnival map via the event's site banner. Players can access almost every option once every hour. In addition, players can also visit 3 user profiles to trick or treat every hour.

The 2023 Harvest Carnival ran from October 27th, 2023 through November 12th, 2023. The Prize Booth opened on November 5th, 2023 and closed on November 19th, 2023.

## Locations

At the start of the event, every location, with the exception of the Prize Booth, is accessible via the map.

* Forest
* Vines (Hidden Option)
* Cave
* Carnival Cookery
* Wheel
* Apple Bobbing
* Cauldron
* Prize Booth
* Stage

### Forest

*For a list of all forest outcomes, please refer to this forum post.*
The forest is an exploration-based area where, depending on whether or not your villager has any of the 3 main spooky illnesses or not, you can find event-based ingredients and food.

### Vines

The vines are a hidden option on the map, found between the forest and the cave. Every hour, you can click these vines to obtain a lot of Pumpkin Guts.

### Cave

*For more information on these 2 battlegrounds, please refer to Stormy Outskirts.*
The cave is a warrior-based area where there are 2 options: Easy and Medium. The warrior fights a pumpkin-based enemy to obtain some loot. This consumes 0 charges, but you can only access this once every hour.

### Carnival Cookery

*"Oh, hello there! I could really use some help. It turns out that doing the cooking for this festival is way too much for me to handle on my own... If you bring me a [Harvest Carnival Dish], I will be forever grateful and give you a little something in exchange!"*
The Carnival Cookery is a cook-based area where you can serve Kieran any of the following foods:

* Haunted Cupcake
* Strawberry Funnel Cake
* Spaghetti and Eyeballs
* Slime Slushie
* Spooky Sundae
* Gelatin Not-So-Gray Matter
* Rock Candy Skull
* Seasoned Webby Fries
* Bubbling Brew

*"Most wonderful, that's exactly what I was looking for! Here, take these as a reward!"*
Upon presenting a dish, Kieran will reward you with 2 Spooky Carnival Tickets.

### Wheel

*"Come one, come all! Step right up and give the Wheel of Fate a spin!*
Have no fear, it just may just change your perspective on life!"
The Wheel of Fate is an area where a user can select a villager to spin the wheel. You can win either 1 or 3 tickets, or be inflicted with Lycanthropy, Vampirism, or Zombipathy. If a villager lands on the same spooky illness they're inflicted with, they will earn 2 tickets instead. Otherwise, landing on a different illness from the villager's will reward them with nothing.

**All of Lucian's responses:**

**Landing on 1 ticket:** *"A winner! Sort of. One is better than zero, I guess!"*

**Landing on 3 tickets:** *"Three tickets?! I thought I fixed tha... Ummm I mean, congratulations, yes! Good job!"*

**Landing on the villager's same illness:** *"Really determined to stay "afflicted" huh? Well, who am I to judge. Here's two tickets for your commitment."*

**Landing on a different illness from the villager's:** *""Awwww, shucks! You're already afflicted with something else. Can't be two monsters at once now, can you? Do come back and try again later!"*
### Apple Bobbing

*"Care to bob for apples while bathed in the beautiful blood moon?"*
Apple bobbing is an area where a user can bob for apples. The outcome is always random and will reward one of the following:

* Green Apple
* Caramel Apple
* Silly Pumpkin
* Top Secret Golden Apple
* Inhabited Apple

**All of the Crimson Witch's responses:**

**Obtaining a green apple:** *"You got a Green Apple. Unlucky. Those are so common they grow on trees!"*

**Obtaining a caramel apple:** *"A Caramel Apple? I thought we got rid of those last year, and the year before that! I wouldn't eat that, if I were you."*
### Cauldron

*"Such a lonely cauldron, why not throw something in and give it a stir?"*
The cauldron is the Harvest Carnival's variation of Serpent's Pot. The user can throw in 1-5 event-related items, with the outcomes being mostly random.

*"Something wicked this way brews..."*
Once the user throws in 5 items, they will have to wait an hour in order to obtain their outcomes.

*"What horrors have we conjured up?"*
After an hour, you can obtain HP potions, Certainly Cherry Sno-Cones, crystals, Elliott's lunchbox, stamp, or button, Cursed Cat Candies, or stones. Throwing in any of the 5 colored pumpkins alone will give said pumpkin with a face variant.

### Prize Booth

*Please refer to Harvest Carnival/Prize Booth for more information.*
The prize booth was available after 1 week since the event started. Users can trade in their Spooky Carnival Tickets in exchange for Spoop Points.

### Stage

The stage lead to a forum post about the Haunted Couture Fashion Show Stage 2023. Users can post a paintied villager that they either own or created. The themes were haunted, candy, and storybook.

## Misc. Activities

### Trick or Treating

## Trivia

* Despite Glittersclerosis being a spooky illness, there isn't any exploration paths coded for it and bugged with the wheel. This is most likely due to it's rarity and only being obtained via Sludge Potions.
* The Carnival NPCS were drawn by Tailgatescutebooty.
