Tickets are important items in 99 Nights in the Forest’s Halloween carnival event. You need these tickets to enter the Hedge Maze and claim rewards like the Bouncing Blade weapon. Getting tickets requires completing carnival mini-games, which might seem really easy at the start, but they are a bit tricky. This guide explains everything about getting carnival tickets in the recent Maze Update for 99 Nights in the Forest.
When Can You Get Carnival Tickets in 99 Nights in the Forest?
The carnival opens on Day 3 in 99 Nights in the Forest. You cannot access the carnival area or earn tickets until this day arrives in your game progression. However don’t worry as first few nights are really easy to get through you can clear them by just staying close to your campfire and by adding wooden logs to it to increase the map area.
The Halloween carnival event runs from November 1 to November 8. Once Day 3 hits, travel to the carnival location where you’ll find three mini-game machines. Each machine awards one ticket when you successfully complete its challenge.

All Three Mini-Games in the 99 Nights in the Forest Carnival
The carnival features three mini-game machines. All three games follow a similar format with time-limited challenges where you need to complete specific objectives within 10 seconds. Successfully beating each game rewards you with one ticket. The games can be attempted in any order, and you can retry them as many times as needed until you succeed.
- Basketball Game – This challenge requires you to score three baskets within 10 seconds. Click on the basketballs near the machine to pick them up, then aim toward the hoop and throw.
- Ring Toss Game – You need to land rings on three targets within 10 seconds for this game. Grab the rings near the machine and throw them toward the target pegs arranged in front of you. Any three targets count, so focus on the closest or easiest ones first.
- Shooting Gallery Game – The third mini-game is a classic carnival shooting gallery where you need to hit moving targets within 10 seconds.
