Christmas
The Christmas event runs from the 1st of December (start of day) to the 25th of December (end of day).
When the event starts you can visit the Christmas screen (in the top section of the menu) where you’ll be able to obtain a free gift in the Christmas Giveaway every day from the 1st until the 25th of December. Everyone receives the same gift every day although if you miss a daily gift you won’t be able to obtain it again later. Any perks obtained in the giveaway are uninsured and non-transferable, so you should use them as soon as possible!
You will also find Santa’s Sleigh 5000 in the game during this period, a special fast vehicle worth over $600k.
Halloween
The Halloween event runs from the 29th of October (start of day) to the 1st of November (end of day).
Skeleton Key
When the event starts you can head over to the Trick or Treat screen (in the top section of the menu) where you’ll be able to claim your Skeleton Key.
The Skeleton Key is a perk giving you 30 minutes of 100% success chance on Vehicle Theft. The perk takes immediate effect once activated it, so you can activate it once you see something you like on Vehicle Theft.
All Skeleton Keys are non-transferable and insured. You can use the perk at any point during the same round and the key remains on your account through death if unused.
Trick or Treat
You can play Trick or Treat throughout the Halloween event. This appears on the Trick or Treat screen once you’ve claimed your Skeleton Key.
The Trick or Treat game presents 6 houses. You can Trick or Treat at one house each day to receive a treat. If you’re on a smaller device (e.g. mobile) you should swipe left and right to see the houses. The event only lasts for 4 days so you can Trick or Treat on up to a maximum of 4 houses. On the last day of the event, after your final Trick or Treat, you get to see what treats you could have had on the houses you missed.
