## [](#trick-or-treat-gear)Trick or Treat gear

To claim the gear all you need to do is view the latest Splatoon news in the News Channel section of your Switch device and simply click the the button at the bottom of the page to get the free gear.

The clothing package will then be sent to you in-game ahead of the “Trick Vs Treat” Splatoon 2 Splatfest on 30th October.

In case you haven’t taken part in Splatoween before, it’s structured just like other Splatfests that crop up all year long. You’ll throw your support behind a team by choosing from the voting terminal in Inkopolis Square, group up for Turf War matches, and earn Super Sea Snails, which you can use to add ability slots to your gear or reroll existing abilities.

But this is Halloween, so naturally everything’s all spooky and stuff.

If Splatoween 2020 is like the original event, maps are decked out in glow-in-the-dark graffiti, and Inkopolis is like the craziest Halloween party ever with ectoplasmic streamers, green slime everywhere, lights, and costumed Jellyfish going wild.
