The Candy Match Event has returned to Survivor.io, offering players a fun, match-based mini-game with generous rewards — including a free Legend Collectible, Epic Tech Parts, Omni Shards, and more. Whether you’re a returning player or new to this event, here’s everything you need to know to make the most out of it.
Survivor.io Candy Match Event Guide (October 2025)
Event Duration: October 9 – October 14
Main Objective: Match candies to earn Pumpkin Points, collect rewards, and contribute to your clan’s progress.
You’ll participate in rounds of candy matching using special tickets called Pumpkin Tickets. Completing daily missions and logging in regularly will help you earn these tickets — which you’ll use to start rounds and climb the reward ladder.
How to Participate
1. Earn Pumpkin Tickets
You’ll need Pumpkin Tickets to play the Candy Match rounds.
Ways to get Pumpkin Tickets:
- Daily Missions: Complete event missions for up to 910 tickets total.
- Login Bonus: Start with 10 tickets by default.
- Gems Purchase: Buy more tickets for 80 gems each.
- Watch Ads: Earn extra tickets via event ads.
- Event Shop: Purchase bundles or ticket packs directly.
Since you can earn 910 total tickets through missions and login bonuses, that’s enough to reach 800 tickets spent, unlocking the Legend Collectible Residence Chip Chest completely free.
2. Start the Candy Match
When you enter the event, you’ll see two candy pouch options:
- Classic Round Candy Pouch (Costs 10 tickets per try)
- Exquisite Square Candy Pouch (Costs 25 tickets per try)
Each game board starts with 30 candy pouches. When the round begins, candies fill up the grid. You’ll then match candies of the same type. Matched candies are cleared, and new ones appear. The more you match, the more Pumpkin Points and attached rewards you’ll earn.
Gameplay Mechanics Explained
Each match earns you Pumpkin Points, which go toward your ranking and exchange shop.
Unmatched candies at the end of a round are counted in your final score.
Some candies have attached rewards — when matched, you instantly claim that reward.
You can choose your pouch type (Round or Square) depending on whether you want to focus on efficiency or high-value rewards.
According to testing, the x10 (Round Candy) gives you more Pumpkin Points per ticket, but the x25 (Square Candy) tends to grant better item rewards like keys and tech parts. For long-term value, most players prefer x25.
Rewards Breakdown
Milestone Rewards
Spending Pumpkin Tickets unlocks progression milestones. The highlight milestone is at 800 tickets, which grants a Legend Collectible Residence Chip Advanced Choice Chest — completely free if you complete all missions.
Pumpkin Points Exchange Shop

These items are essential for upgrading your equipment and heroes, making this one of the best limited-time events for progression.
Clan Rewards & Rankings
The Candy Match event also features Clan-based progression and ranking systems.
Clan Progress
Your clan accumulates points based on total Pumpkin Tickets used by members.
At specific milestones, all clan members can claim:
- Epic Parts Choice Packs
- Collectible Chest Keys
- Tech Part Crates, and more.
Clan Member Ranking
Each member’s top single-round score for the current day is recorded and displayed on the clan leaderboard. Compete daily to secure top ranks within your clan.
Global Pumpkin Point Ranking
Players are grouped and ranked daily by total Pumpkin Points earned.
- Rankings reset daily, meaning new chances to climb every day.
- Rewards are sent via in-game mail based on your placement.
Tip: You need at least 1 Pumpkin Point to be included in daily ranking rewards.
Best Strategies for the Candy Match Event
Log in every day. Missing even a single day means fewer tickets and lower rewards.
Spend tickets efficiently. Use x25 (Square Candy) for better loot potential.
Match strategically. Prioritize candies with attached rewards like keys or shards.
Contribute early to your clan. Daily clan rankings reset, so consistent participation helps both you and your team.
Save your Pumpkin Points until you can afford higher-tier items in the exchange shop.
Example Round Breakdown
Start with 10 or 25 tickets depending on your pouch choice.
The pumpkin icon on the top of the board will fill as you match candies.
Once it’s full, the pumpkin bursts and drops a reward onto a candy piece.
Match that specific candy to claim the reward (e.g., keys, tech parts, shards).
Continue matching until no more valid matches remain — your points and rewards are then tallied.
The Candy Match Event combines simple puzzle gameplay with Survivor.io’s signature grind-and-earn progression. Even if you’re not chasing the leaderboards, completing your daily missions and spending all tickets ensures you’ll walk away with powerful rewards.
