How to go Trick-or-Treating in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Developed over time first seen 1 day ago
Disney Dreamlight Valley’s 2026 Trick-or-Treat event lets players collect Candy by visiting participating villagers’ homes and interacting with the jack-o’-lantern outside. The feature gives players a new way to take part in the annual event, though the game does not explain how to use it.
There are six houses to visit, and each villager can be visited once per day; the pumpkin light goes out after Candy is claimed. The event runs from 14 to 31 October, and completing the two related duties, Sweet ’n’ Scary and Scarily Sweet, unlocks six rewards. The feature is expected to return with the event in 2027, though its dates may change.
- Visit six villagers’ homes to collect Candy.
- Each house gives Candy once per day.
- The event runs from 14 to 31 October 2026.

Disney Dreamlight Valley is a life-simulation game in which players explore a village, meet Disney characters and complete activities for seasonal events. Trick-or-treating is a Halloween tradition in which people visit homes to ask for sweets; in the game, villagers’ houses provide the setting for a similar activity.
The event centres on the player and the villagers whose homes are taking part. Its duties are in-game tasks, and completing them can unlock rewards, giving players goals beyond collecting Candy.

Disney Dreamlight Valley’s annual Trick-or-Treat event runs from 14 to 31 October in 2026. This year, players can collect Candy by visiting certain villagers’ homes. The game gives little explanation of the new interaction, but the clue is outside each participating house: a lit jack-o’-lantern.
Approach the jack-o’-lantern and interact with it to claim Candy and register a Trick-or-Treat visit. The six participating villagers are Mickey Mouse, WALL-E, Daisy, Stitch, Mike Wazowski and Jack Skellington. Each house can be visited once per day. After Candy has been collected, its lantern goes out to show that the visit has been used for that day.
These visits count towards two event duties. Sweet ‘n’ Scary requires three Trick-or-Treat interactions, so it can be finished in one day by visiting three different houses. Completing it awards the Halloween Town Gravestone crafting recipe. Scarily Sweet has five stages, with stated targets of one, two, five, 10 and 20 interactions. Each stage awards a crafting recipe from the Halloween Town event collection.
Players can make at most six visits a day, one at each participating home. Destructoid says completing all of Scarily Sweet takes at least four days, so anyone seeking every recipe should begin before the event ends on 31 October. The six recipes across the two duties are part of the event’s wider Halloween activities, which the reports also mention but do not require for Trick-or-Treating.
Where outlets differ
All three supplied reports are from Destructoid, so they do not present differing outlets or conflicting accounts. The first focuses on how the house visits work and when the event runs; the second explains the three-visit Sweet ‘n’ Scary duty; the third details the five-stage Scarily Sweet duty and names the six participating villagers.
