    I just got Hugo this morning! And I have about 6,250 probes, even with that glitch which keeps me from getting probes from GremAliens I send out. I'm pretty happy. I think I'll get the donut torture machine which is the one other item I really want. (Hugo being the first.)

    I must be so far behind i can't even see where i would get the donut machine. I see a mutant **** available but I'm nowhere near achieving it either. And who is Hugo?

    Ugh four days without web has really set me back.
    All my designs look unfinished because i can't place as many plants, streetlights, and fences as i would like. PLEASE REMOVE THE LIMIT, EA!

    If you can see the mutant **** you just need to scroll to the right, there will be more trick or treat bags to win then at the end is the donut torcher device. U need 8052 probes. Judging by the chart u should be at 5368 probes by the end of today, how far r u off that?

    To see Hugo u need to click on the button on the top right of your screen that looks like a ray gun, this is where your items u get in your trick or treat bags can be crafted into better things. So you can get nails to get a better whacking device, u should also be able to see the pumpkin, if u scroll down there will be Hugo, a shrub, a wall & a human test subject. Don't craft the last 3 as u can win these in your trick or treat bags. Once u have enough items u can craft what u want!

    Good luck, I struggled to get to grips with it all to start off with!

    Should have Hugo in a few hours if I get some silver bags! Should get the donut torture device in a few days, hopefully and I'm about halfway to the grand pumpkin!

    I've got about 5200 probes I think, can't remember for sure but I know I'm close to the final trick or treat bag before aiming for the doughnut torture machine.

    I'm also 2/3 the way towards Hugo, and about 1/2 towards the pumpkin.

    Completely loving this event so far, lost count of how many doughnuts I've got through the bags!

    I'm not doing so good. 4243 is my total and I play daily. I don't know what's up. I'm usually a day ahead of the events.

    Are you able to send your trick or treaters out 3x/day? (I can't do that... Twice is all I can manage). That seems to be helpful from what I've read.

    No I work 8-5. I guess that's my problem.
    Does Hugo disappear on the 20th? How about the grand pumpkin?

    From what I have read the crafting items will remain throughout the event.
    Just save for your favorite item first - then see what happens. For me it was Hugo. Now I'm saving for the house :shock: Takes a long time.

    I work all day too. I collect in the morning and send off my 8 hour trick or treaters, and then pick everyone up after work. I can spend a little more time on over the weekend. I have 6000 probes, so I think I'm on track.

    Never spent a dime.

    I play once a day and it generally takes me forty minutes to take care of all the business. I'm under 2000. I feel like this should be enough time to do everything, and then I see my name near the bottom of the friends list. I'll probably end up like most of the events since Christmas somewhere in the middle with half of that going into storage anyways.

    I still like the game, but I don't think I care for the events.

    I'm in awe of those of you with multiple towns. That's dedication.

    I'm close to getting Hugo but I'm not even halfway thru getting enough chocolate bars for the pumpkin.
    Before I knew n e better I crafted 2 sets of purple walls. I know... I'm a dumba$$.

    Have not spent any money. I know once I do, I won't be able to stop. Just over 7200. I send the kids 3 times a day and twice on the weekend. I also have SVT, so that helps. I should get the donut torture device tomorrow and Hugo tonight. I need only 15 more donuts and I think I might buy the ray gun.

    Just got the Mutant **** in my second town (6 friends, nothing premium beyond what's come for free). No donut spend.

    Maybe I'll get it in my main town before this weekend.

    Maybe.

    Things is lookin' bleak.

    Easily my favorite event as a freemium this year. Sitting on 7040 probes, have won 1 HTS, 3 spooky walls, and oh yeah 68 donuts! Starting to save bags, gremaliens and ammo for when the next part starts. I'm also 15 corn away from Hugo but barley half way to the grand pumpkin. I did have the Ray gun from last year (spent a bunch of hard saved donuts) so the extra ammo has helped.

    I got both the DTD and Hugo today. Going to start stock piling bags now, and just collect probes every now and then. I didn't have to spend any donuts on anything, I just played a lot (having mild insomnia helped). Now I'm just waiting for the next stage.
