Happy Halloween, Poptropicans! It’s time to announce the winners of the PHB’s 16th Halloween costume contest! This year’s theme was Ghost vs Hunters, which opened the door for some spectacularly spooky looks. Without further ado, the winner of Team Ghosts is…
👻”Masked Maiden” by Creepy Boa👻

Put your hands together for the most gorgeous ghoul you’ve ever seen! This Masked Maiden’s voluminous hair and ballgown are eye-catching, and the half-skull mask provides a nice visual contrast with the bright makeup. Would you accept this ghost’s invitation to dance?
Let’s give a special spectral salute to Creepy Boa for making such a boo-tiful costume! But what’s a ghost without a hunter? The winner of Team Hunters is…
🏹”In-Specter” by Jean of Pop🏹

If there’s something strange in Poptropica, who ya gonna call? In-Specter!!! Not only does this costume have a perfect name, but it successfully captures the Ghostbusters vibe with the uniform and tech. Those heat vision goggles are sure to track any cold spots created by ghosts. Good luck with your ghostbusting ventures, In-Specter, and nice work securing the win, Jean of Pop!
Along with their costumes being immortalized in our Look Book, our winners can choose whether to receive a copy of Poptropica on Steam or a Poptropica merch item of their choice from Zazzle (up to US$20). They will also receive portraits of their Poptropicans from any PHB author of their choosing! 🏆🎮🎨
