🎃 Goblins Stole Our Candy! The Halloween Goblin Hunt Is Live
Something has been scurrying across Vortex Scans at night... and our candy stash is gone. 🍬
A gang of goblins broke in, grabbed every sweet they could carry, and now they're sprinting across the site with their loot. We need hunters. We need you.
🍬🍭🎃🍫🍬
🗡️ How the hunt works
- Sign in so your catches count.
- Read like you always do. Goblins appear on the homepage and on series pages, dashing along the bottom of the screen.
- Click or tap a goblin to knock it out and steal back its points.
- Watch out: some goblins fight back and escape. Those don't count, so stay sharp for the next one.
👀 Know your goblins

1 point
Sprints, then stops dead at random. Easy to spot, tricky to time.
Uncommon Sprinter
3 points
Fast, bouncy and loves to dodge your cursor.
Rare Golden goblin

🎯 Warm up in the training grounds
Real goblins are sneaky. Practice right here first: you have 30 seconds. Golden goblins take three hits, and some goblins fight back! (Practice points don't count toward the leaderboard.)
❓ Hunter's FAQ
Who can join?
Any signed-in reader at level 4 or higher, and there's no cap: everyone's welcome. It's free and never needs a purchase. Your first catch signs you up automatically.
I clicked a goblin but got no points. Why?
Some goblins fight back and run off. Those catches don't score. Golden goblins also need three hits before they go down.
Is there a limit to how many I can catch?
Goblins show up every so often while you read, and there's a daily cap to keep things fair. Come back every day to climb the board!
When do I get my coins?
Prizes are paid automatically when the hunt ends on October 20, straight to your balance. You'll get a notification with your amount. If two hunters tie, whoever reached the score first ranks higher.
How do I check my rank?
Open the Goblin Hunt leaderboard. It shows your points, your rank and whether you're in the prize zone.
🤫 Psst... a hunter's secret (click to reveal)
Golden goblins turn around every second or two. Don't chase them: wait where they're heading back, then strike. And don't move your cursor too close too early, they'll dodge! 🗡️
