The month-long 2026 Brawl Stars Brawloween event (officially titled Brawl-O-Ween) runs across October with a multi-phase storyline centered on Gus, six scaling boss battles, and a Trick or Treat Candy economy offering up to 2,336 Candies. Players convert these Candies into 99-Candy Trick or Treat Boxes, with Treat Boxes upgradeable to the Ultra tier up to two times per season for Legendary and Hypercharge skins. While traditional community queries search for Graveyard Shift rules and stage retry limits, official documentation for this season replaces standalone modifier challenges with daily Loony companion rewards, Mortis' Mortuary puzzle sequences, and progressive boss encounters.
Brawl-O-Ween Schedule and the Graveyard Shift Evidence Gap
Supercell's September 16, 2026 release notes detail that Brawl-O-Ween spans a full month across distinct phases rather than a brief weekend tournament. This structure incorporates interactive puzzles, community choices, returning classic bosses, and a gacha coffin mechanic that gradually tell Gus's story throughout the season.
Many players search for a dedicated Graveyard Shift guide, life-leech rules, and gem retry costs for an October Challenge. Official patch documentation and live event guides for the 2026 season contain no Graveyard Shift modifier rules, tier lists, or challenge retry brackets. Instead of the legacy life-drain tournament format, the competitive seasonal focus shifts to six progressive boss fights and the #FindGus Mortis' Mortuary investigation.
If you need resources to unlock seasonal skins or progress your Brawl Pass, Brawl Stars Gems can be managed directly through authorized storefronts while you work through the active event progression.
Trick or Treat Candy Breakdown and Box Rewards
The seasonal reward track relies on collecting Candies to purchase event boxes. According to Supercell's official event notes, you can collect up to 2,336 Candies across five distinct activities during the season. Both Trick Boxes and Treat Boxes cost 99 Candies each.
Treat Boxes hold significant value because they can be upgraded to the Ultra tier, which includes a chance at Legendary and Hypercharge skins. A Treat Box opens automatically after its countdown finishes, and players can unlock an Ultra Treat Box up to 2 times during the entire season.

Beating the Six Scaling Event Bosses
The 2026 event features six custom boss encounters detailed on the Supercell News Blog. Each boss brings a specific attack archetype. Every time you defeat a boss, its difficulty escalates and it gains added abilities for subsequent attempts.
| Boss Encounter | Combat Mechanic | Primary Threat to Counter |
|---|---|---|
| Plague Doctor Crow | High mobility and poison damage | Lingering tick damage that delays natural recovery. |
| Headless Tickman | Spawns multiple Tick heads | Swarm pressure that forces you to waste ammo on summons. |
| Caretta Spike | Long-range projectile patterns | Dense projectile spreads requiring disciplined dodging to close distance. |
| Kizu Kenji | Ghost Oni Kenji retaliatory strikes | High-damage retaliatory dash attacks when cornered. |
| Gargoyle R-T | Fortress-style zone control | Heavy area denial; requires disciplined attack windows. |
| Ghost Diver Rico | Dense bullet-hell bouncing salvos | Trapping shots off environmental walls in tight corridors. |

Daily Win Tracking with the Loony Companion
During Brawl-O-Ween, Gus's companion Loony rests on the home screen to track daily win progress. As outlined in the August/September 2026 update notes, Loony logs up to 6 wins per day.
Each win sends a reward into Loony to charge it. Rewards consist of Starr Drops or Chaos Drops, yielding between 0 and 2 Starr Drops per day depending on daily roll odds. You can only pop Loony to claim your loot after finishing all 6 daily wins. To claim the drops, press and hold Loony on the menu screen until it opens. If you complete the 6 wins but forget to pop Loony before the reset, your completed rewards automatically deposit into your inventory upon logging in the following day. If the character's voice lines become repetitive, a toggle in the game settings allows you to silence Loony's dialogue completely.
Mortis' Mortuary Entrance Puzzle Walkthrough
The narrative component includes the Mortis' Mortuary tab under the #FindGus campaign. Sourced from Brawl Network's Mortuary Guide, finishing the exterior courtyard puzzle unlocks a Chaos Drop, 100 Coins, and four bonus Starr Drops.
Follow these steps to solve the entrance:
- Assemble the shovel by collecting the loose parts scattered around the dead tree, pumpkin patch, and mailbox.
- Smash the side doors to retrieve 100 free Coins, the left-chest key, and hidden letter tiles.
- Spell TOMAR, YOU, and DYNAMIKE using the exterior sign letters, then shovel each corresponding grave to gather three gravestone shards.
- Rebuild the fourth grave, spell GUS on the sign, and dig the repaired plot to earn the center door key and 1 Chaos Drop.
Collecting the 4 Secret Starr Drops
Do not enter the center door immediately after claiming the Chaos Drop. The entrance area contains four hidden Starr Drops that must be unlocked via extra puzzle inputs:
- Drop 1: Light up the sign letters in the sequence M R T S M O R T A Y.
- Drop 2: Spell MONSTER on the sign and strike the tree on the left side of the courtyard with your shovel.
- Drop 3: Respell DYNAMIKE on the sign and dig his grave plot a second time.
- Drop 4: Spell MORTIS on the sign, then repeatedly tap the left window and Mortis' hat until Mortis appears.
