Halloween Quest is a Worldwide event where only the bravest pilots must work together to reach the ghoulish goals during this haunted time.
The event is held from Oct 9, 2024, at 08:30 UTC to Nov 8, 2024, at 08:30 UTC.
There will be two stages, that will last 2 weeks each. In the first stage, pilots gather crucial ingredients for candy making from small airports and deliver them to a nearby airport's candy production facility. Human pilots must complete each flight during this stage in the simulator. There are 16 small airports around the world and nine ingredients that are found at these airports. Some ingredients are easily found at several of these airports, while the rarest ingredients will only be available at challenging airports like LUKLA (VNLK).
The goal is to deliver enough key ingredients to complete those highly desired candies for the haunted festivities in neighborhoods worldwide. To manufacture one candy order, the world needs one of each ingredient. Need help making sure that you are not encountering a trick? The progress bar indicates how many candies can be manufactured at that point in time.
For example, we have 10 of each ingredient in all categories but only 2 of the rare kinds. Based on these numbers, we can only make two candies.
There is a Event progress display:
The Event progress display shows the quantity of key ingredients. Each ingredient is represented by its own progress bar. In this example, the purple ingredient is limiting the progress to 55%. Do not fret! This display will appear on every page of the game!
There will also be a detail page for each player to display their own score and have easy access to the event jobs.
The in-game event detail page:
- Top right of the page: Event progress appears on every page
- The left column of page display: Your individual ingredient counts. To produce one candy, you need one ingredient of each type (same rules as the world progress).
- The right column of the page display: A set of directions specific to current stage.
- The Event Locations button: Opens the google map of the special spooky event locations.
- The Event Details button: Opens a page with the web page with set of directions specific to current stage.
- Travel candies left: Pilots have ten travel candies, whipped up by the finest witches in all the land, that will allow pilots to teleport with their aircraft to any airport in the world.
At the end of Stage 1,
the event progress will determine the value of the rewards in Stage 2.

Rewards details
In stage 2, pilots will get jobs from the candy production facilities to many places in the world to deliver the manufactured candies.
There will be a
leaderboard based on individual scores tracking how much candy is delivered and how many ingredients were delivered in stage 1. However, a player does not need to participate in Stage 1 to be part of the leader board, but they will have a better start in the leaderboard if they did so. Only the best trick-or-treat pilots will receive these highly desired treats. But be warned, players will only be able to take one-event job at a time to avoid grinding with large aircraft.
In the case of any tie-breakers, the ranks will be determined by the average of their flights' scorings during the event period.
This event uses several small airstrips that are all present in MSFS2020.
If an airstrip is not present in your simulator, just take off or land from a nearby field.
