What is Trick or Treat?
In our spooky Halloween themed Trick or Treat Community Event you will have two options to choose from to start the challenge, Trick or Treat! Your goal is to earn as many Trick or Treats as you can before the end of October.
How does Trick or Treat work?
When the event starts on 1st October at 10am UTC, you will be given the choice to pick Trick or Treat:
Choosing Treat will build a list of 10 achievements from your locked achievement pool from your game collection based on the settings you choose when you register.
The Treat achievement selection algorithm will prioritise low ratio achievements from a wide selection of your games.
You just need to unlock one of the achievements in the list to earn your Treat.
Choosing Trick will pick a random challenge from our challenge list – these include easier versions of previous TrueAchievement Targets and other community events. For example, earn 2 achievements with the Shop flag. Earn the target number of achievements to hit the target and earn your Trick.
When you’ve completed a Trick or Treat, you can then choose Trick or Treat again to start a new challenge!
What if I don’t want to attempt my Trick or Treat?
You have a maximum of 5 rerolls you can use throughout the event.
The ‘Reroll treat’ button can be used to build a new list of achievements from your game collection. Be sure to exclude any games you don’t want to appear in your list by setting the Not For Contests flag against games in your game collection. Any treat achievements that you reroll will be excluded from all future treat achievement lists.
The ‘Reroll trick’ button can be used to abandon a trick and pick a new random trick. Any progress towards the rerolled trick will be lost. Any trick you reroll will be excluded from all future tricks.
When is the event running?
Registration is open now on the Trick or Treat event page.
The event starts on Tuesday 1st October at 10am UTC and runs throughout October, finishing at 10am UTC on Friday 1st November.
Trick or Treat Badge
Anyone that manages to earn at least 13 Trick or Treats, with at least 5 Tricks and 5 Treats, will be awarded a community challenge badge.
And for the more competitive amongst you, there’s also a leaderboard that is ordered by those with the most valid unlocks over the entire event!
