Splatoon 3 is hosting its own Halloween Splatfest, appropriately named **Splatoween**. This year, players will need to choose who their best friend would be: **Zombie, Skeleton, or Ghost**. Here is everything you need to know about this year’s Splatoween, including how to play, rewards, and start time!
### Halloween Splatfest 2025 Start & End Time
The Halloween Splatfest for this year kicks off on **October 24 at 6:00 p.m. PT / 9:00 p.m. ET** and runs until **October 26 at 6:00 p.m. PT / 9:00 p.m. ET**. This gives players exactly 48 hours to pick their team, jump into matches, and earn as many points as possible.
### How to Participate
When you join the event, you must choose which of the following would be your best friend: **Zombies, Skeletons, or Ghosts**. Once you make your selection, you’ll receive a special team t-shirt representing your choice.
This t-shirt isn’t just cosmetic—it can earn you abilities! You can even reset these skills inexpensively, making it a great way to farm ability chunks during the event. Keep in mind, though, that the t-shirt will be removed from your inventory once the Splatfest ends.
### Leveling Up Your Catalog
In addition to earning skills, participating in Splatoween will help you level up your Catalog. This is a key parameter for the event’s scoring and is factored into calculating the winner through categories such as Votes, Clout Open, Clout Pro, and Tricolor Battle.
The higher your Catalog level, the more **Conch Shells** you earn. Conch Shells, in turn, contribute to your Clout, giving your team a better chance to win!
### Splatfest Rewards
Splatoon 3 players will be familiar with the main rewards offered during Splatfests: **Super Sea Snails**. The more you play and the higher your rank, the more Super Sea Snails you’ll earn.
These valuable items can be used to upgrade your gear and enhance your gameplay beyond the event, making Splatoween an excellent opportunity to boost your inventory.
