BOO! Get the cobwebs out of the attic and candy out of the cupboards, because it's time to celebrate Halloween in spooky style! Put your decorating skills to the test in our new Halloween Costume & Decorating Contest!

Share your ghoulish dorm creations on social media throughout the contest period. You’ll get a chance to win some great prizes. We’ll even be featuring contest winners this October 27 on KI Live! Since the show is just before Halloween, we may even have a few of our developers transform into nightmarish creatures for it.

This contest is for both the Wizard101 and Pirate101 communities. The Spooky Carnival Bundle (W101), Hoodo Bundle (P101), and 20k Crowns are up for grabs!
