Dear Settlers,

It's that time of the year again: Halloween is coming closer! Sonya Graham just reported seeing some ghosts in the distance. Your Geologists spotted Golems rowing up in tunnels below your island - a brand new "Supreme Golem" has been found!

We've implemented new content like buffs, buildings and decorations in this year's Halloween event. Also, the way Pumpkin Cemeteries work has been changed.

More Adventures reward Pumpkins (via Refillers). Find Pumpkins by sending Explorers out on a Treasure search, collect guaranteed Pumpkins on the island and try to get all of the 2016 Halloween Achievements.

Check out the Dev Diary about Halloween Event 2016.
Changes compared to last year are highlighted for you.

Have a happy Halloween & 
spooky settling!

Dear Settlers,

It appears that some spooky ghosts are wandering about in our forums. They must have escaped from an early Halloween build, but they're not welcome here!

Help us hunt them down by taking part in our forum ghost hunt.

Happy hunting,

Dear Settlers,

The Excelsior has traveled to destinations far away from anything your Settlers have ever even heard of. We want YOU to write about her adventures!

Write a short story about Captain Graham and one of her adventures with the Excelsior. The best story will be implemented in the game! Of course there will be other precious rewards as well. Check out the forum for details!

Happy writing!
