Haunted Neighborhood and Bellisseria "Trick or Treat"

 

 

 Two of the Lindens' annual Halloween goodies in Bellisseria are back. One is the Haunted Neighborhood, in the Millbank sim.

The Millbank region has undergone a spooky overhaul, with numerous Linden Homes getting a haunted horror theme. Visit the many haunted houses, and see the scary sights! Take a step inside the homes while you’re at it: there are such sights to show you!

 

Once again, Bellisseria's spooky neighborhood is back, with all sorts of creepy sights, and sounds. A dingy trailer park has sounds of chainsaws going and screams in the background. One houseboat is full of slime and has a spooky shrine inside, and just what is that gurgling underneath the water. One house has the sounds of kids giggling, but no sign of them other than toys and a ball that seemingly is rolling by itself. There's a creepy cemetery with a freshly dug hole that when you walk past just seems like a tempting spot to rest for those tired. And one place with a "for sale" sign will collapse in a cloud of dust and debris. 

 

Some places have traps in them, and if you're not careful a heavy bookshelf might fall on you or a blade might shoot out at you. There is a flashlight available near the official start area, though it aids your vision just a little, and sometimes being able to see things slightly better isn't always a good thing in this place. Oh, and you can also grab the balloon for a quick tour. But is letting a haunted balloon guided by a sinister-sounding ghost steer you around a good idea?

Also going on is the Bellisseria "Trick or Treat" event. For the third year in a row, residents will be able to go trick or treating around the neighborhoods of the Linden Home continent. 

Creep or crawl over to Bellisseria this Halloween season to snag some candy and win prizes! This is an interactive event open to *everyone* where Residents living in Bellisseria can host Candy Buckets on their parcels. You don’t want to miss the paranormal partygoers and creative costumes throughout Bellisseria during this virtual Trick-or-Treat.

To play the game head over to the Haunted Neighborhood at Milibank (216.40.23) and head to the place with the three signs near the flashlight and balloon. The one on the left will get you the HUD for the game (image left) and will be all you need to get if you just want to play. For those wanting to take part, grab the pumpkin from the sign on the right. You'll need to be the owner of a Linden Home to take part. And it's not recommended you have a teleporter to a private skybox near where you set the pumpkin.

The game takes place only on the continent of Bellisseria, and all pumpkins can only have a piece taken from them only once. There are prizes for getting lots of candy, especially for those to take 200 or more.

There was a video about the Trick or Treat event by Linden Lab, featuring Magellan Linden and Punky dressing up as each other, or in Magellan's case trying to. 

For more information, check out this forum post by Patch Linden. There's also a list of homes available to help trick or treaters search for candy. The one at Clean Getaway also has a huge cutout of Patch Linden where one can grab a messful of SL candies, "There are 100+ candies and other gifts inside Patch now. Touch him to get them Clean Getaway (92,158,32) The haunted house also gives candy, and there's punch, too."

Trick or treat.
