If you’ve been playing Grow a Garden lately, you’ve probably seen players showing off cool new pets like the Mummy or Wereplant. Those rare finds come from the brand-new Spooky Chest, introduced as part of the Halloween update. It’s easily one of the most exciting parts of the event, packed with creepy plants, divine pets, and a lot of mystery. Here’s everything you need to know about how to get it and what’s inside.
The Spooky Chest is part of the Ghoul Garden Part 3 update and can be obtained in three main ways, by helping the Harvest Reaper, buying it from the Spooky Seeds shop, or purchasing it directly with Robux. Each method offers a different path depending on whether you want to grind, trade, or spend.
1. Harvest Reaper Event
The Harvest Reaper NPC appears in the lobby every two hours, right after the Witch event ends, and stays for one full hour. When it spawns, you’ll find 25 ritual plates placed around it. Each plate shows a plant you need to bring. All you have to do is collect the same plant and place it on the plate.
Once you submit the correct plant, its flame turns from orange to blue. When all 25 flames are blue, everyone who contributed will receive a Spooky Chest along with a limited-time gear called the Severed Spine. The Reaper event is the best way to earn chests without spending Candy Corns or Robux, but you’ll need teamwork and quick timing since it only spawns every two hours.
2. Spooky Seeds Shop
The next method involves the Spooky Seeds Shop located inside the Halloween Market. This market appears near the main event area once every hour and stays open for just 15 minutes. Inside, you can buy the Spooky Chest for 30 Candy Corns, but stocks are limited and can sell out fast.
You can earn Candy Corns by completing Halloween quests and events like the Witch’s Cauldron, Dead Tree missions, Harvest Spirit challenges, or even the Harvest Reaper ritual. It’s basically the event’s special currency, so you’ll need to save some up if you plan to buy multiple chests.
3. In-Game Robux Shop
If you’d rather skip the grind, you can buy the Spooky Chest directly using Robux. Here’s the current pricing:
- 1 Chest: 199 Robux
- 3 Chests: 575 Robux
- 10 Chests: 1699 Robux
Buying with Robux also slightly improves your chances of getting rarer rewards like the Mummy and Wereplant. It’s a quicker option for players who don’t want to wait for event spawns or limited market stock.
All Spooky Chest Rewards
The chest contains a mix of rare plants and divine pets. Here’s the full list of confirmed rewards and their drop chances:
| Reward | Rarity | Drop Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Ghost Bush | Rare | 34.5% |
| Scarab | Rare | 34.5% |
| Devilroot | Legendary | 14.5% |
| Tomb Marmot | Legendary | 14.5% |
| Wereplant | Divine | 1% |
| Mummy | Divine | 1% |
Among all, the Wereplant and Mummy are the hardest to get. The Wereplant combines werewolf traits with fast plant growth, making it super valuable for farming. The Mummy pet, on the other hand, increases your plant’s size and growth speed, giving you an advantage in both gameplay and trading.
Is the Spooky Chest in Grow a Garden Worth Getting?
Absolutely. The Spooky Chest is the highlight of the Halloween update. Even if you don’t get the Divine rewards, the Legendary plants like Devilroot and Tomb Marmot are great for boosting profits and collection value. For free-to-play players, the Harvest Reaper is the best farming option, while Candy Corn and Robux buyers get faster access.
In short, the Spooky Chest offers something for every type of player. Whether you’re farming events or just want to flex your luck, this chest is a must-have while it lasts. Keep an eye on the Halloween Market every hour and don’t miss the Reaper’s arrival, that’s your best chance to grab these spooky rewards before they’re gone.
