Haunted Floating Festival Rewards Overview
The Haunted Floating Festival rewards pool is the main draw of Disney Dreamlight Valley's 2026 Halloween event. Running from October 7 through October 31, the event turns a floating island into a puzzle-filled haunted playground, and every solved activity pays out a themed collectible. The 2026 edition combines returning favorites with brand-new Haunted Mansion content, giving both veteran and first-time players a reason to return to the island.
The reward structure works on a simple principle: complete an activity, receive its associated item. There are no codes to redeem and no currency to grind — the rewards are tied directly to puzzle completion, ghost photography, and event progression.

All Haunted Floating Festival rewards are tied to the active event period. After October 31, 2026, unfinished activities and unclaimed rewards may no longer be accessible. Prioritize rewards you want most before the closing date.

Each festival activity on the floating island carries its own reward. The table below maps every 2026 activity to its unlock condition and reward category so you can plan your route around the items you want.

Rewards like the Haunted Festival Dress and Terror-rific Tree are among the most popular items each year. Tackle their puzzles early in the event window so you have buffer time if any puzzle proves tricky.
Ghost Hunt Rewards
New for 2026, the Ghost Hunt task sends players across the floating island with their camera to photograph 10 hidden ghosts. Each ghost occupies a distinct spot on the island, and completing the photography set contributes to the event's reward track.
| Ghost Hunt Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Total ghosts | 10 |
| Tool required | Camera (Royal Tool) |
| Method | Photograph each ghost within its detection range |
| Ghost behavior | Ghosts may disappear if approached too slowly |
| Completion signal | Task updates after each valid photo registers |
| Reward | Ghost Hunt completion rewards on the event track |
Search Systematically
- Sweep the island zone by zone
- Check building interiors and corners
- Return at different times of day if a ghost is missing
Camera Positioning
- Frame the ghost fully in shot
- Stay within interaction distance
- Confirm the photo registers before moving on
Easy-to-Miss Spots
- Behind the Potion Brewer's Cottage
- Mansion side rooms
- Edges near the arrival platform
If a ghost photo does not register, the ghost likely moved out of frame at capture. Re-aim, keep the ghost centered, and retake the shot before it fades.
