Activities:

TRICK-OR-TREATING++

Grab a Trick-or-Treat HUD at the Arrival Building (at the sim center).  Then go looking through the whole sim for doors to "knock" (click) on. Tip: Make sure the door's light is glowing, otherwise you might get tricked!  You can gather up points by wearing the HUD and knocking on doors.  (If you get the Deluxe HUD, you gather up treats too!)  When you have enough points, go to the French Market to trade in points for prizes.

--> Location: Arrival Building, get the HUD!

GUEST MERCHANT AREA

There are a few dozen booths along the Mississippi River filled with goodies for sale.  Even better, each booth has a unisex FREE GIFT!  How about a little shopping therapy in between haunts?

--> Location: River in Southwest sim.

PG AREA

Haunted Nawlins is located in a Moderate-rated sim, but we have a whole section set aside as family-friendly.  The Southeast quarter of the sim is (more or less) safe for kids, teens, and everyone else.  There are still spooky things there, but absolutely no blood, guts, or "adult" items.  To find the PG Area, follow the bat-signs on the ground from the Arrival Building and through the gate.

--> Location: PG Area, Southeast quarter of sim

ARCADIA ASYLUM

This repository of historical freebies is chock-full of swamp, pirate, and voodoo treats!  Sneak inside the huts and enjoy the gifts.

CHAT WITH CHARACTERS++

There are a few animesh Characters roaming around with whom you can interact.  (They are not masters of conversation, but you can have a simple chat.)  You must CLICK on them to start a conversation, and they'll only talk to one person at a time.  So chat awhile, see if they might give points!  But don't bump into them (or vice versa!)--the consequences are dire.  (Hint: the Characters with name tags are the ones who talk.)

--> Location: Ghoulie Ghoulash at Lafayette Cemetery

FAIRGROUND GAMES++

Enjoy our many traditional and unusual games inside the Circus tent.  Almost all give Trick-or-Treat points, plus occasional prizes (with the Deluxe Trick-or-Treat HUD).  Remember, these are all games of chance, and you can lose points as easily as win them!
