Night of The Phantoms is not only one of my favorite times of the year in AJ, but a userwide favorite due to the amount of things happening each year. Major lore drops occur each year, introducing new things. This page will be updated throughout October of 2025 with each event happening. I hope this helps several users with all things involving this year's Night of The Phantoms.
The Phantom Vortexes are a guarantee every year of Night of the Phantoms. They were originally introduced in 2016 and based on an Animal Jam Classic feature. However, Phantom Vortexes are expanded compared to the Classic feature!
Phantom Vortexes have two varieties. The Well Variant, which a phantom pops out of an item looking similar to the Spooky Wishing Well, will take you to the Light in The Dark minigame. In this minigame, you will control a torch to push phantoms away from candy and into columns of light. The difficulty increases with each round, and at round 5's completion, you will recieve a prize.
The Burrow Variant, which contains a few lumps of dirt with an eye in the middle, will take you to the Super Sweets Minigame. In this game, you will connect three or more pieces of candy of the same variety together in order to fight phantoms. When a round is complete, you will recieve a prize and get sent back to the vortex. Super Sweets has an extra feature only on Halloween, where you have a chance to win unique rare items exclusive to the year alone! This is how items like both variants of the Halloween Dragon Wings, purple Forest Gauntlets, and all sorts of lime, purple, and orange rare items get put into the game. Keep an eye out on Halloween to make sure you get all of the items, and even exclusive pets or maybe Leilani Coins, which can be exchanged for Leilani Points!
