If you’ve been wandering through 99 Nights in the Forest and wondering how to unlock the mysterious Hedge Maze, you’ll need one key item – Tickets. These special event tokens are your pass to the most exciting part of the Halloween update. But how exactly do you get them? This guide will walk you through everything you need to know, from finding the carnival to completing the mini-games and earning all three Tickets.
What are the Carnival Tickets in 99 Nights in the Forest?
Tickets are limited-time event items used to unlock the Haunted Maze during the Halloween or carnival event. They’re earned by completing mini-games at the carnival hidden somewhere in the forest. You can collect up to three Tickets, each earned by winning one of the carnival games. Along the way, you’ll also gather Candy, another event currency used for buying special Halloween rewards.
Finding the Carnival
The carnival doesn’t appear right away. It usually spawns after the third day in the forest and appears at a random location on the map. When it’s available, you’ll see an in-game message like “The Carnival is in town!” Once that message appears, start exploring. Look for glowing lights, colorful tents, and music that signal the carnival’s location.
When you reach the area, you’ll find three mini-game booths waiting for you. Each booth represents one of the activities where you can earn a Ticket.
Playing Mini-Games to Earn Tickets

Each carnival booth offers a fun challenge. Successfully completing one game earns you one Ticket, and you can earn a total of three. Here’s how they work:
| Game | Objective | How to Win |
| Ring Toss | Toss rings onto bottles at the booth. | Land three rings on the bottles to earn a Ticket. Aim carefully and adjust your throw distance. |
| Basketball Throw | Throw basketballs into a hoop. | Score three successful shots. You can stand close to the hoop for better accuracy. |
| Target Shooting | Hit moving targets using a rifle or air gun. | Hit all five targets to win a Ticket. Keep your aim steady and you’ll get it. |
You must complete all three games successfully to get all available Tickets. Once you’ve earned all three Tickets, head over to the Maze entrance, and you’re ready to explore.
