Festival of Fears

The Festival of Fears was released on Neopets October 23, 2025. 2025 is the first year that this event was introduced, and it works very similar to how the Festival of Neggs annual event works. Prior years had a "hunt and find" trick or treat bag event in which you simply clicked around in various shops and/or locations throughout Neopia to find a Trick or Treat bag. Other than clicking around to find them, there was not much effort required.
In October 2025, the Festival of Fears event launched in which you would first go the Hub Page to find Reginald, and read his intro to the event:

Reginald: Welcome to the Festival of Fears! Some may say to shy away from the dark and scary aspects of the world, but many of us here in Neovia, and the greater Haunted Woods, believe it is essential to have a safe and even enjoyable way to confront our fears. And thus, this festival was born! I shall be your humble host this year as I take you down a dark and deplorable path of twists and turns, and best of all, books. This year, I have hidden multiple trick-or-treat goodie bags around Neopia for all to find! Alongside the sweet treats inside, you will also receive a book from my own personal collection that you can peruse back here at your leisure. For the first seven days of the festival, there will be a new goodie bag to find with its own scary story to unlock! Once a goodie bag is available, you can find it at any time, but if you're having trouble, then come back here and I'll give you a clue as to where to look.

Once you've unlocked a scary story, visit me here in my library if you dare to read it. Just choose any of the new books in the Goodie Bags tab and get ready for a frighteningly funtastic time! I've also prepared some creepy queries for those who dare to face their fears and read the whole story through! If you can answer any of my questions to prove your feet of bravery, I will reward you with a prize. Lastly, I may be your host, but I'm not the only one who prepared for this festival! Be sure to check out the many blood-curdling fun activities around the Haunted Woods. While they're available all year round, a few of them have exciting new opportunities to offer. However, most of these new changes will only be around until the end of the festival, so be sure to check them out soon. If you've got any more questions, be sure to check out the handy dandy FAQ! It's got lots of useful info in there and may even hint more at what's new for this year's activities! And from all of us here at the festival, we hope you have a scarily good time!
