Among Us isn't just about sneaky murders and frantic task-completing anymore - it's a full-blown fashion runway in space! As the 2025 Halloween event rolls around, players are trading their standard spacesuits for spooktacular cosmetics that make even the scariest impostor look adorably menacing. The writer can't help but cackle imagining a crewmate in a witch hat frantically trying to fix wires while being chased by a vampire-impersonating killer. Honestly, dying never looked this stylish!
The real treat this season? The glorious Treat Cosmicube - a free Halloween goodie bag overflowing with spectral swag. Unlike its paid sibling the Trick Cosmicube (which demands real-money Stars), this beauty only costs 2,600 Beans. That's right, zero dollars for maximum spookiness! Our writer nearly choked on candy corn realizing they could get all these goodies just by playing normally. Pro tip: grinding tasks during double Bean events feels less tedious when you're dressed as a candy corn crewmate!
Obtaining Your Halloween Haul
Getting the Treat Cosmicube is simpler than identifying an obvious impostor:
-
Visit the Shop (that little store icon you always ignore)
-
Navigate to the "Seasonal" section
-
Exchange 2,600 Beans for pure Halloween magic
The writer admits initially missing the shop entirely - too busy suspecting Cyan in Electrical! But oh, the joy when discovering you don't need to sacrifice your coffee budget for virtual cosmetics. Just play normally, complete tasks, watch those Beans accumulate, and bam - instant access to the spookiest wardrobe in space.
Unlocking Spectral Rewards
Here's where things get deliciously complex. After purchasing, activate the Cosmicube in your inventory. Now every Bean earned also grants Treat Pods - spooky progress tokens that unlock your goodies. The writer adores how these pods look like mini candy buckets floating beside your character!
The Cosmicube features four winding paths (North, East, South, West) resembling a haunted corn maze. You'll need to unlock rewards sequentially in each direction. Total pod requirement? A whopping 2,725! Our writer may have panicked slightly at the number before realizing how quickly they accumulated during emergency meetings.
Path Breakdown
| Direction | Key Rewards | Pods Required |
|---|---|---|
| North | Ghostly Visor + Pumpkin Pet | 700 |
| East | Skeleton Suit + Bat Companion | 650 |
| South | Witch Hat + Candy Corn Cannon | 725 |
| West | Vampire Cape + Zombie Dance | 650 |
Personally, the candy corn cannon in the South path had our writer giggling maniacally - nothing says "I'm innocent" like shooting festive projectiles during sabotage!
Maximizing Your Spooky Grind
The writer recommends prioritizing your favorite path first - that ghostly visor is worth every pod! Pro strategies:
-
Play longer games (more tasks = more Beans/Pods)
-
Volunteer for visual tasks to show off new cosmetics
-
Impostors: sabotage strategically to prolong rounds
Honestly, watching a pumpkin-pet-toting crewmate get voted out is the most tragically hilarious Halloween moment imaginable. Available on all platforms (Mobile, PC, consoles), this event proves Among Us still delivers fresh frights years after launch!
