Explore real shops, collect stamps and photos, and come back on Halloween for the finale. Play the treasure hunt, the costume fun, or both.

One costume. A whole town of possibilities.
Give your costume
a night out.
A few friends. A few new places. A passport full of the night.
- Find your kind of places.
Pick a few interests, keep the stops you like, and get your walking route.
- Make a memory.
At the shop, scan its QR and tap Stamp this stop. With your free account, keep a photo from there too.
- Enter your costume.
Take a costume photo at a participating stop. Follow its entry instructions; people judge the prizes.
Two booths.
A whole town to play.
Step into a photo booth at Glacier on Linden or The Whisk(e)y. Dress up, take a strip and give your costume its moment.
Look for the booth, QR and gift icons on our map. The two installed booths have the biggest first-check-in totals; other participating shops have QR photo stops.
How the game works
The costume, the prizes,
and the points.
Costume prizes. People judge creativity, craft and Halloween spirit. Hunt points never choose the costume winner.
The Halloween round. From Saturday, October 31 at 12:00 AM, every stop opens for one more check-in, and those check-ins count 10× the points. Your earlier points stay in your total.
Points, prizes and a paper backup
Visit points. Join the hunt before checking in. Scan the stop's QR and follow its stamp or photo instructions. Liking a place or planning a route earns no points.
Costume points. An approved costume entry earns 5 points, once per person per round (10× in the Halloween round). Waiting entries show as pending until they are approved.
Hidden gifts. Gifts marked “Hidden here” follow their own first-finder instructions.
Before you go. Check the shop's hours and age policy. Children play with a guardian. Print your route for a paper backup; a participating business can stamp it for the organizer to record.
The costume contest is not sponsored or administered by Meta.

Any photo you take at a stop can become a keepsake with the stop's name on it, printed and mailed to you. Look for “Make it a keepsake” under your photo.
From a night around town
Photo strips, magnets, an 8×10 print, a mug or a tee, depending on the stop. After three stops in one night, print the whole night on 4×6 cards, one per stop.
