Description: Prepare your house before 6 p.m., understand the five rating categories, order candy early and save your trick-or-treat bag from TRICK monsters.
26 Hollow Lane offers two modes. Prepare the house by 6 p.m. and receive a rating at 8 p.m., or visit lit houses as a child to collect candy. If a house shouts “TRICK!”, sprint home and get inside. Getting caught costs half your candy.
Strategy
The game begins at 5 p.m. The in-game hour before six takes roughly four real minutes, but Spooky Sweets needs 30 in-game minutes to deliver. Order from the upstairs laptop first, then wear your vampire cape, decorate with garage props and lights, and put away the ladder and boxes while you wait. You have $30 to spend. The final score measures readiness, decorations, candy, generosity and a tidy yard. No guaranteed five-star shopping list has been published.

Details and controls
The coffee-table remote switches between Spooky Toons, Creature Feature and Skeleton Dance Party. A spotlight projects circling bats onto the house. The vampire’s bathroom mirror shows only the cape; the woods turn you back with a wolf howl. WASD moves, E interacts and Shift runs in child mode. On a controller, A interacts, B backs out and LB runs. Mobile works in landscape.
Verification and conclusion
This guide uses official pages and updates through 11 October 2026. No numbered build, exact five-star threshold, fixed TRICK houses or additional ending count was documented. The browser game was not directly played for this article. The practical route is simple: order first, decorate while delivery is pending, and have bowl and porch light ready by six. As a child, save the bag rather than fighting the chase. Halloween apparently involves supply-chain management.
