The longest-running community event in Tyria returns for its ominous sixteenth anniversary! On the eve of Halloween, join Daniel {{Frozenwind}} and {{Mad Queen}} Malafide for a grand party in Lion’s Arch. Dress your scariest for the spooktacular costume contest, ride the treacherous Rollerghoster, attend the concert of the Ghostly Quartet, or delve into the annual art contests.

Date and Time: October 30 at 8:30 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-8)
Location: Lion’s Arch, on European servers

The King and Queen have prepared a vast treasure trove of fantastic prizes for Tyrians young and old, along with many frights and delights. You could win coveted Community Chests, the Moot legendary mace, unique miniature codes, and over 10,000 gold worth of additional prizes!

The History of the Horrorween

The Horrorween has existed since the very first Halloween festival in the original Guild Wars®. The city of Lion’s Arch has been the site of much less festive horrors in the years since, but one thing is certain—you can’t kill this party!

Your Ticket to Ride

This year’s theme introduces a ghostly Ringmaster who traps the people of Tyria at his Haunted Carnival. Event attendees will take part in various carnival activities and sideshow attractions and work together with the two hosts to break the Ringmaster’s curse.
