[h3]New Challenge Map: Jester's Spooktacular[/h3]


The already twisted terrain of the King's Game map receives a spectral makeover in the all new challenge; Jester's Spooktacular! Survive a relentless assault of masked foes and—if you're savvy enough to find the secret summoning method—take on the dreaded Flying Pumpkin Boss!

[h3]Map Rewards[/h3]


If this contorted world doesn't cause you to lose your mind—and the Flying Pumpkin Boss doesn't cause you to lose your head—you'll be rewarded with a bone-chilling bounty!



  • The Corrupted Axe, Dragon Halberd, Punk Jester Costume and Devil Mask are all unlocked upon completing Challenge Map: Jester's Spooktacular.
  • The Flying Pumpkin Pet is unlocked via completing Challenge Map: Jester's Spooktacular after having defeated the Flying Pumpkin Boss!


The Devil Mask is cursed with a particularly nasty hex, causing its wearer to sprout ghoulish, hideous, and definitely not super rad demonic wings!
