Splatoon 3 is hosting its own Halloween Splatfest, appropriately named **Splatoween**. This year, players will need to choose who would be their best friend: **Zombie, Skeleton, or Ghost**. Here is everything you need to know about this year’s Splatoween, including how to play, rewards, and start time!
### Halloween Splatfest 2025 Start & End Time
The Halloween Splatfest for this year begins on **October 24 at 6:00 p.m. PT / 9:00 p.m. ET** and ends on **October 26 at 6:00 p.m. PT / 9:00 p.m. ET**. This gives players exactly 48 hours to pick their team, jump into matches, and earn as many points as possible.
### Choosing Your Team
This year, players must choose which spooky best friend they prefer: **Zombies, Skeletons, or Ghosts**. After making your selection, you will receive a special t-shirt representing your team.
This t-shirt can earn skills that you can reset affordably, making it a great way to farm ability chunks. Note that the t-shirt will be removed from your inventory once the Splatfest event ends.
### Leveling Up Your Catalog
In addition to earning skills, you’ll be leveling up your **Catalog**. This is a key factor the event considers when calculating the winner, along with Votes, Clout Open, Clout Pro, and Tricolor Battle.
The more you level up your Catalog, the more **Conch Shells** you earn, which in turn increases your **Clout**—helping your team win the event!
### Splatfest Rewards
Splatoon 3 players will be familiar with the Splatfest rewards: **Super Sea Snails**. The more you play and the higher your rank goes, the more Super Sea Snails you can earn!
Get ready to pick your team, battle it out, and collect awesome rewards during this year’s Splatoween Splatfest!
