Xat Games 3

SpongeMaxwell won the third Xat Games. See here for a full in-depth summary.

Scary Story Contest

The Scary Story Contest was hosted by Wumbology. The winner would receive 500d, a free skeleton/mad scientist costume, a free pumpkin antennae, and a free icon of the winner’s choice. The contest began October 1st, 2012 and the deadline for submissions was October 20th, 2012. Voting began October 23rd, 2012 and the winner was announced October 24th, 2012, the following day. ssj4gogita4 was the winner of the contest, however, some felt this was unfair due to his submission not being original, and was only jokingly submitted.

Scary Art Contest

The Scary Art Contest was hosted by Aquatic Nuggets. The winner would receive 500 Doubloons, a free mad scientist costume, a free pumpkin antennae, and a free icon of the winner's choice. The contest started October 1st, 2012 and the deadline was October 22nd, 2012. Voting began October 23rd, 2012 and ended October 27th, 2012. The winner was Aquatic Nuggets.

Candy Scavenger Hunt

A hunt organized by jjs, where users had to find six candy icons hidden on the forum. Whoever found them all would get 300 doubloons, access to Haunted House forum, and free item of choice from Costume Shop.

Masquerade Ball

Users disguised themselves, changing their usernames and avatars, and talked amongst themselves trying to figure out who was who. Finally, everyone revealed who they were Halloween night.
