Stardew Valley Spirit's Eve Halloween Event Guide: Date, Time, Haunted Maze, Shop Items, & more

A chilling wind falls upon Pelican Town. Despite the scary atmosphere, Stardew Valley celebrates this occasion with an event. So, here’s what you need to know about the Spirit’s Eve Halloween event in Stardew Valley.

Stardew Valley Spirit’s Eve Date & Time

The Spirit’s Eve Halloween event in Stardew Valley always occurs on Fall 27 of each year. Apart from checking the in-game calendar, you'll receive a message from Mayor Louis in the mail inviting you to visit the celebration. In particular, enter Pelican Town between 10 PM and 11:50 PM to participate.

Spirit’s Eve Haunted Maze

The Haunted Maze is the main attraction of the Spirit’s Eve Halloween event in Stardew Valley. The Wizard (also known as M. Rasmodius) is supposedly the creator of this challenge. Winning the maze will grant the player either a Prize Ticket (introduced in Version 1.6) or a Golden Pumpkin, depending on the year. Additionally, the layout of the maze changes based on the current year.

Years Ending in Odd Numbers

Make your way to the secret passage underneath and to the left of the signpost with the question mark(?). Next, enter the cave to the right and travel north. It's ideal to wear an accessory that can provide light, such as the Glow Ring, while in the cave, as the area's path weaves left and right. Exiting the cave will let you reach a treasure chest, securing the Golden Pumpkin. Note: Every NPC that can receive gifts loves the Golden Pumpkin. Alternately, the Golden Pumpkin can be sold for 2,500 gold pieces through the Shipping Bin.

Years Ending in Even Numbers

Like the other maze layout, make your way to the secret passage underneath and to the left of the signpost with the question mark(?). This time, you'll meet Sebastian on this path. Go past that villager and into an unmarked secret passage. You'll know if you're on the right path if you meet Sam and Vincent. Next, you should reach a section with three passages. However, only the middle one leads you to the treasure room and the Prize Ticket. Note: Exchange Prize Tickets at the Prize Machine next to Mayor Lewis’s house.
