Seasonal events blended gameplay progression with celebration, demonstrating how timely content updates can reinvigorate even long-running titles.

• MONOPOLY GO! maintained momentum with back-to-back Halloween events. Halloween Deluxe Drop  featured the Frankenstein Signature Dice, followed by Team Up: Halloween Partners!, a cooperative event where players built spooky attractions to earn the seasonal collectible Ghostie Token.

• Whiteout Survival rounded out the top five with its Halloween 2025 event, introducing limited-edition skins and themed city decorations that drove participation through personalization.
