Virtual Festivals Have Finally Lived Up to Their Promise: My Experience with Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival
This year, I decided to ditch my local park's lackluster Halloween festivities and try something new – a virtual pumpkin festival. The idea was born from the game developer Adam Robinson-Yu's neighbourhood pumpkin festival, which he created during the 2020 pandemic when his own event was cancelled. Since then, Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival has become an annual tradition, allowing players to join together in a creepy little micro-world filled with player-created pumpkins.
As I ventured into this eerie world, I was greeted by other players dressed as classic sheet-ghosts with drawn-on faces and hats. Pumpkins were everywhere, from the benches outside skeleton-filled barns to the haunted house corridors. It wasn't long before I spotted some gaming-themed creations – including a tribute to Hollow Knight and a recreation of Majora's Mask from one of the scariest Zelda games.
What struck me most about Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival was its hidden secrets and collectible pin badges. While many players likely focused on the obvious attractions, such as challenging mazes and jump scares, I stumbled upon a bunch of hidden gems while exploring solo for an hour. The movie theatre, which plays eerie silent films, is one such example – I discovered additional keys to unlock secret areas by examining seemingly ordinary objects like door handles and notices.
However, what truly impressed me was the depth and complexity of this virtual festival. Behind its charming façade lies a rich experience with multiple layers of gameplay and storytelling waiting to be uncovered. From bite-sized horror games to clever puzzles and hidden secrets, Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival is more than just a novelty – it's an immersive world that rewards exploration and experimentation.
If you're looking for a fun way to celebrate Halloween this year, I highly recommend checking out Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival. It may not be perfect, but its charm and surprises make it well worth the download. And who knows? You might just find yourself uncovering secrets and collecting pin badges long after the pumpkin-carving is done.

. I love how you can explore this whole world made out of pumpkins and see all these hidden secrets and collectibles. It's like, the more you play, the more you find 
. And yeah, the gameplay is pretty tight too - I liked how there were these bite-sized horror games that would pop up randomly, it was so intense! 
But what really gets me excited is how they keep updating the festival with new content and surprises... it's like, this world is alive or something 
. My only concern is that some people might get too caught up in collecting all those pin badges and forget about the whole point of the festival 
. Still, if you're looking for a fun way to celebrate Halloween, I'd definitely check out Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival 
. I mean, they're not just some boring old online event, but a fully immersive experience with so much depth and complexity 
! It's amazing how many hidden gems you can discover when you take the time to explore and experiment

. The attention to detail is crazy! Who knew there were hidden secrets and collectible pin badges just waiting to be found? It's like a puzzle to solve while you're trying not to freak out
