Brawl Stars welcomed Halloween 2025 with Brawl-O-Ween, a seasonal event that transformed the game into a candy-filled battlefield of spooky bosses and free rewards. Even as 2026 unfolds, the 2025 edition remains a notable reference point for how Supercell blends holiday themes with progression systems, limited-time modes, and cosmetic unlocks. The event encouraged players to collect candies, open themed boxes, and challenge monstrous AI opponents.

Trick or Treat Boxes 🎃

The Brawl-O-Ween event introduced a dedicated section where players could claim Halloween boxes. Trick Boxes looked like Halloween pumpkins with mystic light glowing in their eyes. Opening a Trick Box could drop Brawl-O-Ween skins, both new and old, cosmetic items, progression resources, brawlers, and more. Treat Boxes functioned as usual Trophy Boxes. Players could upgrade one to the Ultra level, which might drop Legendary or Hypercharge skins. To obtain Brawl Stars Halloween boxes or upgrade a Treat Box, players needed to collect and spend candies. The only requirement to earn this Brawl-O-Ween currency was to play the game.

Box Type	Appearance	Possible Rewards	Upgrade Path
Trick Box	Halloween pumpkin with glowing eyes	Brawl-O-Ween skins, cosmetics, progression resources, brawlers	Not specified
Treat Box	Trophy Box style	Standard Trophy Box loot; Ultra may include Legendary or Hypercharge skins	Can be upgraded to Ultra with candies

Candy Collection and Quests 🍬

Candies arrived as win rewards in the special Brawl-O-Ween game mode. Completing special quests, such as winning 25 matches, provided extra candies. When players pressed the special Candy Rush button, they earned more candies per button. This sweet party was not always available, so missing the chance meant falling behind on box openings and upgrades. The event's starting screen highlighted candies as win rewards, making the currency loop clear: play matches, win, collect candies, and spend them on Halloween boxes.

Boss Fights and Strategy 👻

The Brawl-O-Ween event featured a special game mode where players battled Halloween bosses in Brawl Stars. It was a rare mode where players fought against AI bosses, teaming up with two other players to defeat three mighty creatures. During the Halloween season, the game offered time-limited events with different bosses and a few difficulty levels. Players needed to unlock all stages during one event, from Normal to Impossible, to earn all available candies.

The Brawl-O-Ween bosses were six creatures, and each required a different approach. Choosing the best brawler for each boss was essential. On easy difficulties, attacking every boss separately from teammates worked well. On later levels, combining effort and defeating them one by one together became more effective. Health recovery was crucial: hiding and chilling to attack again was better than dying and losing the match. This tactic also applied to other modes, such as Brawl Arena, where dying meant feeding opponents with XP. When teammates were dead, the primary goal was to survive until they returned.

Halloween Brawl Pass and Skins 💀

Alongside the special activities, Brawl Stars had a Halloween Brawl Pass season. In 2024, Skeletal Surge emerged during Brawl-O-Ween. In 2025, it was Crow's turn to receive a spooky skin. The Halloween season introduced Plague Doctor Crow, Death's Door Crow, and Old Hunter Crow, each offering a distinct dark fantasy aesthetic. A wide selection of Halloween Brawl Stars skins became available, giving players plenty of cosmetic goals to pursue.

A new brawler joined the game later that season, so players were encouraged not to miss the unlock event for the Mythic Controller Ziggy. This new tradition was introduced with the release of Brawl Stars Mina. By 2026, this pattern of launching a new brawler with an unlock event has become a familiar part of the game's seasonal rhythm.

Esports and Crossovers 🏆

October 2025 was also the month of the Last Chance Qualifier for the Brawl Stars World Championship 2025. The event ran from October 10 to October 12 in São Paulo, Brazil. For competitive fans, the LCQ represented a final opportunity for teams to secure a spot on the biggest stage. In 2026, the World Championship circuit continues to evolve, but the 2025 LCQ remains a key chapter in the game's esports history.

During the same broader period, Brawl Stars also took part in a first-ever Subway Surfers collaboration. Fun activities took place in both games, with players able to race around themed environments and complete crossover challenges. This event marked a notable expansion of Brawl Stars' collaborative reach beyond its usual partnerships.

A Spooky Formula for 2026 🎃

Brawl-O-Ween 2025 combined free rewards, a candy-based economy, challenging boss fights, and a rich set of Halloween skins. The event demonstrated how Brawl Stars could turn a holiday into a full progression loop, encouraging players to play matches, complete quests, and team up against AI threats. As Halloween 2026 approaches, the community will likely look for similar candy hunts, Trick or Treat boxes, and spooky boss battles. The 2025 Brawl-O-Ween set a high bar, and its mix of accessibility and challenge remains a memorable example of seasonal event design in Brawl Stars.
