### How to Participate
When you enter the event, you’ll need to select your best friend among the spooky teams: **Zombies, Skeletons, or Ghosts**. Once you make your choice, you’ll receive a special team t-shirt that represents your alliance.
This exclusive t-shirt can earn skills as you play, and the great news is you can reset these skills affordably—making it an excellent opportunity to farm ability chunks. Keep in mind that the t-shirt will be removed from your inventory once the Splatfest event ends.

### Leveling Up Your Catalog and Earning Clout
Playing in Splatoween doesn’t just get you rewards; it also helps you level up your **Catalog**, one of the main metrics the event uses to determine the winning team. The Catalog measures your contributions through categories such as **Votes, Clout Open, Clout Pro, and Tricolor Battle**.
The more you level up your Catalog, the more **Conch Shells** you’ll earn, and these shells contribute to your team’s overall **Clout**. So the more you play, the better your team’s chances of victory!

### Splatfest Rewards
Splatoon 3 players will be pleased to know that the classic Splatfest reward, **Super Sea Snails**, returns for Splatoween. The more you participate and the higher your rank climbs, the more Super Sea Snails you’ll earn—valuable resources for upgrading your gear.
