dCrops Halloween Event Data and Analysis
dCrops recently held a month-long event celebrating Halloween. There was a huge participation from the players with a lot of prizes that were given out in exchange for Halloween candy that players earned by doing in-game actions like planting, harvesting, etc.
The below poster has all the details regarding the event.
The Numbers
A whopping total of 788,137 candies was earned by a total of 638 players. A small portion of this was given as prizes for the Splinterlands tournaments that were held during the event.
A total of 255,000 candies were exchanged for 1021 coffins. Roughly one-third of the candies earned were exchanged for the thrill of grave robbing. A majority of the players opted not to open coffins and go with the other prizes that the candies offered.
A total of 135 players opened coffins and a total of 51 golden tickets were found! Players also found 1610 CROP tokens inside the coffins.
Only 3 of the event exclusive items, 2 Cemetary and 1 Jack-o-Lanterns were exchanged for golden tickets. Meanwhile, 4 ALPHA packs and 21 BETA packs were claimed from the event shop.
The 5% chance to find golden tickets inside coffins was not enough for players to find enough tickets to claim all of the prizes offered during the event.
Most of the candies were exchanged for Reward Chest++, which contains 5 items, of which, there is a 25% chance for construction resources inside. A total of 2954 Reward Chest++ were bought in exchange for 369,250 candies by 299 players.
The rest of the candies were exchanged for boosters, mostly Mystery Seeds.
2393 Mystery Seeds for 35,895 candies
1688 Speed-Gro for 16,880 candies
1093 Ferti-Plus for 10,930 candies
This event is a benchmark for future events to follow. There will be a couple of different changes to any future events to make them more accessible to all kinds of players. As a first "experiment", it was a success. By using these numbers, future events will be adjusted to make sure that all the prizes are attainable.

I enjoyed the event though I did not get a golden ticket. 😅
I sold a lot of my items in the inventory, just to get more candies 😂
Would have been nice if I get a cemetery, or even just a golden ticket but nah it's okay.
It was fun! Thanks team!
Interesting event, with about 290 candies, I got some mystery seeds,ferti-plus and speed-gro. Thanks for the pack and tokens
I believe it was a wrong strategy to set such a low probability, for the given price of the coffins. In the beginning I was very enthusiastic to open coffins, but my interest dropped to zero when the rewards were so bad...
Last part of the event I switched to mystery seeds. Much more fun!
One thing that bothered me was that I had to reroll like 10 quests because I got the plant/harvest Jack-o-Lantern ones. You should consider removing event specific items from quests.
Unrelated to the event: I got plenty of quests to plant/harvest seeds that are unavailable in the current season, so the only thing you can do is to reroll them. Is that a bug?
I enjoyed the event , but after opening 5 coffins and only getting candies i figured i would get some chests with a better chance of building materials so while i made it work for me i had fun during this event

I really liked the event, even ended up buying 100 +bonus packs for those candies
Don't remember how much candies I got in all but were below 3K I think and mostly exchanged for Rewards chest and was lucky to get couple of gold resources :D

I managed to get some mystery seeds thanks to the event. I almost forgot to make the change of my candies yesterday, but thanks to the notice they gave on Discord I was able to make the change in time.
Great event! I think the mechanics are great, but as you and others have noted, the prices/odds likely need some tweaking.
Before the shop opened, I personally did some expected value calculations. Back before the price was lowered from 7 to 5 (I think, for the special prizes), you needed to buy like 140 coffins to expect the # of tickets you needed for the unique prizes. When the amount of candies for that many coffins was compared to the EV of what was likely going to come from the Chests, it felt like a no-brainer to choose Chests. Unless you were a whale and had more than enough building material. Then the coffin gamble was probably more interesting.
Not a hard "fix," and it could be perfect depending on how fast you want certain items to start circulating in the economy :)
The lil dopamine hit from the random chance per action is great. Really motivates and rewards game interaction. You may consider building this points system in permanently as like, XP or something (fixing the little "hack" where you can plant cooled down seeds on Day 14 in the season first maybe). Once a special event comes around, keep the XP going but also add in the seasonal shop.
Cheers! Looking forward to seeing what might crop up for the holidays, 😉 !PIZZA
I managed to get 1x alpha/beta pack. As others have mentioned though the coffins were too difficult to pull golden tickets for the price. I think besides some of the top 10 whales it was effectively impossible to get one of the awesome seed/land NFTs. I opted to open some chest just for the guaranteed rewards as the coffins were a hard gamble.
The event was very good, I try to win a golden ticket at the beginning but I couldn't spend more than 3000 candys.😅
Selling almost all of my inventory, running out of almost all just to get more candy before the event ends😂
the rest I won was to open REWARD CHEST each had 5 random items
and i win 1000 crops .. thanks 🤣🤣
Thank you so much for this event. I had a great time playing the game last month, and I say that as someone who has been playing this game for more than a year now, and has bought more than 1,000 dCrops NFTs. I appreciate your efforts, and I know for a fact we will get to see more of the same.
Oh, and thank you for the $CROP!
Stay awesome ;)
Great event! I hope you continue to do more in the future!
Awesome event!
More in the future please!
