Storage Hunters Halloween Garages are four limited auction spots in the graveyard, each charging Candy before you can bid on its contents. They arrived with the October 17 Halloween update and stay available until October 31, giving you a chance to find event-only items and valuable new mutators.
The key difference from normal auctions is the entry fee. You’ll still need money for bids, but the Halloween gates take Candy first. With the four garages costing between 10 and 40 Candy, it’s worth knowing which one you want before spending your event earnings.
Where are the Storage Hunters Halloween Garages?
Look in the graveyard beside the Halloween town. The Storage Hunters Halloween Garages appear as four themed tombstone auction entrances, rather than the regular auction buildings scattered across the map. The event area also contains characters offering other ways to earn Candy, so you can visit the garages during a wider Halloween farming run.
Head into the Halloween town and find its graveyard rather than revisiting the permanent yards in your normal progression route. The garage entry fee appears in Candy, so you can tell you’re at the seasonal auction instead of an ordinary cash-only location.
Storage Hunters Halloween Garages Candy costs
The four Storage Hunters Halloween Garages rise in price by 10 Candy each. Garage 1 costs 10 Candy, Garage 2 costs 20, Garage 3 costs 30 and Garage 4 costs 40. Those figures are the fees to enter an event auction, not the price of winning everything in the locker.
| Garage | Entry cost |
|---|---|
| Halloween Garage 1 | 10 Candy |
| Halloween Garage 2 | 20 Candy |
| Halloween Garage 3 | 30 Candy |
| Halloween Garage 4 | 40 Candy |
You don’t have to finish each lower garage before entering a higher event tier. If you have enough Candy for Garage 4, you can choose it directly. That gives newer players a way to try the more expensive Halloween auctions, provided they have enough cash left to bid.
How to get Candy for the garages
Storage Hunters Halloween Garages use the Candy you collect during seasonal activities. The Headless Horseman has a chain of quests, the Witch supplies a Trick-or-Treating bag, and there are zombie and grave-digging activities around the Halloween town. You can alternate between these rather than farming one task the whole time.
For Trick-or-Treating, knock at houses with their lights on during in-game nighttime. A house temporarily goes dark after a knock, so move to another lit door instead of repeatedly clicking the same one. Zombies can also be defeated and delivered to the Grave Digger for Candy, while the town defence activity works through several waves.
Keep some currency back before starting your next auction. Set aside the 30 or 40 Candy for your chosen garage before buying any optional Halloween extras.
What can you find in the Halloween auctions?
The Storage Hunters Halloween Garages contain seasonal collection pieces and three limited item mutations: Spiderwebbed, Blood Moon and Spirited. They appear in Halloween garage loot, not ordinary auctions. Blood Moon is the new middle-tier effect, separate from the older Cobwebbed mutation.
| Halloween mutation | Value multiplier | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Spiderwebbed | 5× | Halloween garage loot |
| Blood Moon | 12.5× | Halloween garage loot |
| Spirited | 25× | Halloween garage loot |
The multiplier raises an item’s sell value. If you’re choosing between garages, remember that a 40-Candy entry fee doesn’t guarantee one of these effects. You still bid for the locker contents and then need to sell your finds.
Which Storage Hunters Halloween Garages should you enter?
If you’re short on Candy, start at Garage 1. Its 10-Candy entry means you can get a feel for Halloween bidding without spending your full balance on a single visit. If you’re further into the game and comfortably earning Candy, the higher garages give you another way to chase the event collection.
Before paying any entry fee, check how much cash you’re carrying. The Candy gets you inside, but winning the auction still depends on bidding. Keep enough auction cash aside to bid once you’ve paid the entrance fee.
Do Halloween auctions count for Horseman quests?
The Headless Horseman has 30 event quests involving Halloween activities and auctions. Reports from current play indicate that higher-tier garage auctions can satisfy objectives for lower-tier garages, so it may be possible to make quest progress without revisiting every cheaper entrance.
Read your active quest before bidding, and check its progress immediately afterward. Some objectives ask for a particular tier or action, and it’s better to confirm the counter advanced before spending another 40 Candy.
When do the Storage Hunters Halloween Garages disappear?
The Storage Hunters Halloween Garages are scheduled to close with the Halloween event on October 31 at 7pm UTC, which is 7pm GMT in the UK. Seasonal items and mutators are tied to that limited availability, unlike the permanent base-building changes that accompanied the update.
The Pumpkin Wagon has an earlier deadline of October 24 at the featured Auto Dealership. That’s a separate vehicle purchase using cash rather than Candy, so don’t confuse the Wagon’s removal date with the last day of the Halloween auctions.
