“Our Halloween party gets bigger and bigger every year, is always a hit with party goers and is especially grand this year!” grid spokeswoman Harmony Beningborough told Hypergrid Business. “Costumes are encouraged, but not required and a great time will be had by all! Fun, friendships and fabulous music are the biggest constant of Wyldwood Bayou events!”

The Bayou’s region of the Phantom Rose grid is hosting two Halloween-themed adventure quests, Vampire Hunter and Demon Hunter, both of which start near the SeaDog Pub. You will find the boat that takes you to Van Helsing Region.

By participating in these hunts, you can win unique prizes including a Gothic chandelier, a matching standing candelabra, and a small candelabra with a gothic half-column, said grid owner Lannorra Sion.

“Read the instructions carefully,” she told Hypergrid Business. “When you arrive at Van Helsing, you will see the Quest giver, a display of the prize and do not forget to pick up your free vampire and demon hunting kits. These have everything you need to confront these dangerous creatures.”

The Tortuga Island region at the Virtual Dream grid, which is a new build by Ange Menges and Nani Ferguson, will be open starting on October 30 for 15 days for Halloween celebrations. The region will host a Virtual Discovery Tour, which will feature a group visit and treasure hunt starting at 12 p.m. Pacific time on Tuesday, November 5. The region will host a classic treasure hunt with ten chests to find, said Vladimir Djannovic. 

“The theme is that the cursed island of Tortuga is haunted by the phantom skeletons of pirates who expiate their atrocities there,” he told Hypergrid Business. “No one tries to approach them, yet their treasures are still there.”
