The '''Spirit's Eve''' [[Festivals|festival]] takes place on the 27th of [[Fall]] every year. The player enters the festival by entering [[Pelican Town]] between 10:00 pm and 11:50 pm (note that at 11:50 pm it is too late to enter), and upon leaving the festival, the player is returned to [[The Farm]] at 12:00 am.

==Haunted Maze==

The haunted maze was supposedly set up by M. Rasmodius, the [[Wizard]]. The [[villagers]] say he was so committed to creating a frightening maze that it took him all day to set it up.  

The haunted maze is supposedly set up by M. Rasmodius, the [[Wizard]]. The [[villagers]] say he was so committed to creating a frightening maze that it took him all day to set it up.  

A large majority of the townspeople are either frightened or confused by the maze (especially [[Abigail]], who can't continue because she cannot walk past spiders). [[Jodi]] does not allow [[Vincent]] to go in the maze because it is "too scary for children". However, in the second year maze, [[Vincent]] goes in the maze with [[Sam]] and [[Abigail]] does not participate.

Like all mazes, the "keep going left" mentality is present here. Just keep on going left; it isn't a huge maze. It may be worth it to stop and talk to the characters, as some of the dialogue can be amusing.

The trick to reaching the end is to take the secret passage, which begins just underneath and to the left of the "?" signpost, and continues over to the section of the maze with [[Sam]] and [[Vincent]]. Look for the "chicken-legged" house and another "?" signpost. There is another secret passage up and to the right of the sign. Wearing a ring which provides light, such as the [[Glow Ring]], allows the player to track position and movement more easily. Exiting the passage puts the player into the treasure section of the maze. Inside the treasure chest is a [[Golden Pumpkin]] on Year 1, and a [[Prize Ticket]] on Year 2+.

 

 

The trick to reaching the end is to take the secret passage, which begins just underneath and to the left of the "?" signpost, and then continues to the right inside the cave to the North. It weaves to the left and right, which requires a little bit of blind navigation. Wearing a ring which provides light, such as the Glow Ring, will allow the player to track their movement more easily. They will exit down into the treasure section of the maze. Inside the treasure chest is a Golden Pumpkin.

 

 

Again, a secret passage begins just underneath and to the left of the first "?" signpost. Following the path to the end, passing [[Sebastian]], an unmarked secret passage is located at the top right of the maze. This continues over to the section with [[Sam]] and [[Vincent]]. In the hedges behind the chicken-legged house there are three secret passages to the right of the sign. Only the middle one leads the player into the treasure section of the maze. Inside the treasure chest is a Prize Ticket.

*The top right of the maze contains a hut on chickens legs, a reference to the Slavic folklore character [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Yaga Baba Yaga]. The path leading to the hut has three pairs of disembodied hands, a reference to the Russian fairy-tale [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasilisa_the_Beautiful Vasilisa the Beautiful], which features Baba Yaga.

*A transparent dialogue bubble can be seen above the [[Wizard]] or [[Linus]] while the player is hovering their mouse over them. Clicking on either character won't produce a dialogue, but the dialogue can be found in the game's data files.

*[[Gus]] refers to [[pumpkin]]s as fruits. Despite not being classified as such in-game and in popular usage due to their taste, this is botanically accurate and pumpkins are classified as a [[wikipedia:Berry (botany)#Modified_berries|pepo]] or hard-rinded berry, due to the fact that pumpkins grow from flowers.

{{History|1.4|Passing out from low [[health]] on Spirit's Eve day no longer causes the player to be stuck inside [[Harvey's Clinic]] until the festival starts. Fixed bug where NPCs would follow non-festival schedules after the festival. Changed [[Abigail]] and [[Sebastian]] dialogues from "halloween" to "Spirit's Eve" in English.}}
