The Halloween Event Game Updates

1. Mirrorama

The Halloween season doesn’t have to be scary to be fun. Bring on the giggles with 4 new filters in Mirrorama

Dance and move as skeletons with the x-ray filter, look for paranormal activity on green-tinted security-style cameras, or create crazy shapes with the vertical and horizontal scanners. 

Want even more fun? Enjoy the limited-time Halloween Scavenger Hunt. Can you find ghosts or bats in 10 of Mirrorama’s filters? Some require time, some require you to reach an active goal. If you need help finding them all, we’ll be dropping hints in our Nex Playground Insider Community on Facebook. Join us there to share in the hunt.

2. Bowling Strike!

Get ready to unlock the secrets of Dr. Frankenstein’s lab with brand-new collectibles in Bowling Strike!.

There are 2 new balls, 2 new pins, and 1 new lane to unlock. And if you missed out on last year’s event, this is also your chance to unlock those Halloween haunts. The more you bowl, the more points you can collect, and the more items you can unlock. 

The best part — once they’re unlocked, they’re yours to keep, even after the event ends. So grab your family and get those boo balls rolling. 

3. Copy Cat Deluxe

Your favorite racoon is bringing the Halloween fun with some new frightful features in Copy Cat Deluxe

Complete 3 new, limited-time missions to unlock 2 brand new sticker packs. Once unlocked they’re yours to keep. So if you want to howl like a werewolf, float like a ghoul, or spread your wings like a bat any time of year, it’s time to get posing.

4. Starri

Get ready to “boo”-gie down in Starri with 4 new songs and 3 new creepy cosmetics. Adorn your dancer’s head with a ghost, bat wings, or alien tentacles, or try last year’s pumpkin or witch’s hat, and feel the Halloween spirit.

Once you’re costumed up, work on your slashing in 4 new songs: 

  • “Murder on the Dance Floor” by Sophie Ellis-Bextor
  • “Take On Me” by A-ha
  • “Just Dance” by Lady Gaga
  • “Feel It Still” by Portugal. The Man

Turn on Starri, crank up those tunes, and burn up the dance floor with an at-home monster mash.

5. Hungry Hungry Hippos

Hungry Hungry Hippos’ fall-themed background and seasonal treats are also back this year, bringing a cozy autumn vibe to your little one’s favorite game.
