Halloween is just around the corner and Disney’s Club Penguin is getting in the spirit of the holiday with an annual Halloween Party. Over 6 million people participated last year making Club Penguin’s Halloween Party one of the biggest Halloween event online for kids.

The antics resume this year with players needing to solve the mystery of ghost-researcher Gariwald VIII’s disappearance and uncover the secrets behind his Walt Disney Parks and Resorts-inspired haunted mansion. While players solve the mystery, members can turn into ghosts and haunt the Island, and all players will have the chance to become ghost hunters and catch rogue ghosts.

Players will also have the chance to listen to the latest Club Penquin single,  “Ghosts Just Wanna Dance” and take part in two new spook-tacular scavenger hunts.
