Halloween — After Strategy

Clash of Clans Clash-O-Ween 2026: what's left before October 31

Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Clash of Clans’ Halloween season, Cosmic Curse: Portal Panic, ends on October 31. It packed some twenty dates into one month, and most of them are already closed: the Medal Event, Clan War League, both Battle Options windows, Clan Games. What’s left fits in a few lines, and that is exactly what you should not let slip.

What’s left to do before October 31

The Gold Pass. It runs until October 31 and unlocks the Shroud Queen, the Archer Queen’s Halloween outfit. Supercell offers the Ghost Champion as this month’s alternate skin. If you haven’t bought the Gold Pass yet, the useful question is simple: is the skin worth the price on its own? The pass’s progression boosts do little over the last three days.

The Cosmic Streak. This community event, open October 16-31, asks you to attack at least once a day for seven days. Rewards must be claimed by November 1. A player who hasn’t started a streak can no longer fit seven days before the end. A player who has started one just needs to avoid skipping a day, then remember to claim the rewards.

Hero skins. Five outfits came out two days apart: Savage King on October 5, Nasty Prince on the 7th, Terror Champion on the 9th, Behemoth Duke on the 11th and Spider Warden on the 13th. Supercell lists them through October 31. Last year’s Cosmic Curse cosmetics also returned to the shop on October 15.

Clan Games (October 22-28) and the last Resource Collector boost (October 26-28, from Town Hall 8) both ended on the 28th.

The Totem Thrower, a short-lived addition

The season’s only new troop was the Totem Thrower, a temporary troop. According to Supercell’s official post, it hits from 6 tiles away and can target anything on the ground. Its first attack, and every fourth attack after that, throws a totem instead of a rock. The totem stuns nearby defenses and summons a Tiny Totem where it lands. That small stationary totem soaks fire from both air and ground defenses, then crumbles on its own.

There were three ways to get the Totem Thrower. Battle Options offered it October 1-5, then again October 17-21. The Portal Panic Medal Event track unlocked it too. Finally, the October 7-8 Mass Troop Event gave 50 free Totem Throwers to players at Town Hall 10 or higher. All of these windows are closed. Supercell has not published its hitpoints or damage, and has not announced its return.

The Totem Thrower shared the Medal Event track with four returning Halloween troops: Lavaloon, Witch Golem, Royal Ghost and Giant Skeleton.

What the season really leaves behind

What matters from Cosmic Curse is the Portal Pendant, the Minion Prince’s Epic Equipment. It was bought with Rift Medals, earned during the Portal Panic Medal Event, which ran October 8-25 from Town Hall 6 up. The Trader’s shop closed on October 27. The article on whether the Portal Pendant is worth it covers which armies it actually fits.

The rest of the season was built to be consumed on the spot: a temporary troop, Battle Options limited to a few days, skins drip-fed to bring players back every other day. The calendar was busy, but in practice it left little behind once it ended.

What to watch

The November schedule arrives with the next season. Two points deserve attention: the next Medal Event, to see whether Supercell keeps such a well-stocked shop, and a possible return of the Totem Thrower, which for now remains a troop tied to this Halloween season.

Monopoly Go Monster Mash 2026: KPop Demon Hunters, Ghostbusters and 25 Sticker Sets

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Monopoly Go launches its Monster Mash season on September 23, 2026. It runs until November 25 and mixes two licenses: KPop Demon Hunters, the Netflix hit, and Ghostbusters.

KPop Demon Hunters on the board

The KPop Demon Hunters side brings HUNTR/X and the Saja Boys into the game, with minigames and a themed boutique. Pocket Gamer also mentions a HUNTR/X concert, and Mobilegamer.biz a street race through Seoul that leads into the Underworld.

The songs “Golden” and “How It’s Done” are used in the game during the season. Gamewave sees this as the first time music takes a central place in Monopoly Go. That claim comes from a single source and should be taken with caution.

Ghostbusters: a New York rooftop and the firehouse

The Ghostbusters side takes players to 550 Central Park West. A race with themed vehicles runs across the building’s rooftop, and Gozer joins the fun.

A treasure event takes place inside the franchise’s firehouse. Mobilegamer.biz adds that it is built around the Proton Blaster.

Two new duels with friends

Two features join the season, and both are built around playing with other people rather than alone.

Fill Up Your Luck-O-Lantern: you collect candy while moving around the board, then share the rewards with a friend.
Trick-or-Treat: a quick dice duel between two players, where the higher roll wins rewards.

Scopely also puts the community forward, which is a nod to its Discord players. Designs voted on the Monopoly Go Discord become official tokens, and a “Community Gallery” sticker set reuses outfits imagined by players.

An album of 25 sets

The Mystery Mansion Album brings 25 new sticker sets to collect over the season. Two of them are dedicated to KPop Demon Hunters and to Ghostbusters respectively, which gives each crossover its own chapter in the album. The album is the season’s backbone, like the Posh Pets album earlier this year.

What matters for players

What matters is the length: nine weeks of events, with no detailed calendar yet from Scopely. Duo mechanics like the Luck-O-Lantern mostly reward those who play with active friends.

The risk is spending on the album faster than the pace of events allows. The crossovers use well-known licenses but remain skins: the rules of the game do not change.

The context is solid. Mobilegamer.biz notes that the game has passed 300 million downloads and follows a Looney Tunes crossover, after Star Wars in 2025 and The Simpsons earlier this year.

Brawl Stars Season 55 Brawl-O-Ween: Vince and His Moths, Loony and Gus's Story

Sun, 20 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Brawl Stars’ Season 55, Brawl-O-Ween, starts on October 1, 2026. It brings Vince, a Mythic Damage Dealer, the Loony balloon on the home screen and a month-long event in several phases around Gus.

Update, October 26, 2026: Vince arrived in early access on October 19, with an event running until October 29. You need to open 14 Vince Boxes, two of them free in the shop, and two wins give one box. He will then join Brawler Blast. Sources: TheClick and ClaimCodes.

Vince: a barista who collects moths

Vince is a Mythic Damage Dealer who tends to his espresso machine and his bugs in his Creepy Cafe. Caterpillars spawn near him regularly: by hitting them with his coffee or walking over them, he turns them into moths for his collection. According to Supercell’s release notes, he loses half of his collection when he is defeated.

His attack, Espresso Shot, throws a cup of coffee. His Super, Barista Barrage, fires a projectile that applies a Caterpillar debuff, and his main attacks then deal bonus damage. His gadgets are Hot Coffee, an explosive cappuccino, and Metamothosis, which turns nearby caterpillars into moths. As for Star Powers, Come to Papa pulls caterpillars toward him and Bug Bandage heals him for 1,200 on each transformation.

In practice, Vince rewards whoever survives: losing half the collection weighs more than any damage bonus.

The Gus event: a month in several phases

According to Supercell, Brawl-O-Ween 2026 is a month-long event, experienced in several phases, following a story tied to Gus. You unlock it through the month with puzzles, community choices, a creator-led experience and a finale. Classic Brawl-O-Ween bosses return, and a new gacha coffin is added.

Loony, Gus’s balloon, stays on the home screen during the event. Each daily win feeds it, up to six per day, and the reward is claimed by pressing and holding it once all six wins are in. Rewards are Starr Drops or Chaos Drops, from zero to two Starr Drops per day.

Brawl Pass and shop

The Brawl Pass offers two collections of Epic skins, with the Paranormal Investigator player title:

Mr. P: Fortune Teller P, Mr. Psychic and Mystic P (chroma variants).
Shade: Cursed Shade, Creepy Shade and Jolly Ghost Shade (chroma variants).

The shop adds Dr. Bellenstein, Bellenstein’s Monster (Piper) and Flame Rider Chuck, Mythics at 199 gems, plus Terrornaut Damian, a Legendary at 299 gems.

Hide & Seek and Prop Hunt

The release notes also describe Hide & Seek, a mode where one seeker faces three hiders over four 45-second rounds. It is played with the Prop Hunt modifier: when you stop moving, you turn into a map element. That modifier can show up in other modes, such as Showdown, Gem Grab, Knockout and Bounty, and it is available in friendly rooms.

When does Vince become available?

Before his arrival, TimeSaver announced early access in October, then an entry into Brawler Blast, where a Mythic brawler costs 1,900 Credits. The exact date was not confirmed before the season launched.
