Sadly, the Halloween month is behind us but eagle-eyed fans have spotted a nifty trick to get these masks again.

Will the item vanish if I change back the time?
No, all the Halloween masks will remain in your inventory after you change the time back to its normal setting. We however recommend that you use and apply each item that you wish to keep before resetting the time. This will ensure that the items will remain in your inventory when you change the time back to normal.
I am unable to see Halloween items despite changing the time
This is a known issue with mobile devices. It appears that the game uses cache for device time instead of using the time provided in real-time. This is why the game fails to take notice of time changes on your device. This issue was encountered by us on iOS multiple times in a row and sometimes on Android. The PC version of the game seems to use device time in real-time which is why this issue does not appear on Windows.
Fix
To fix this issue, simply uninstall and reinstall the game on your mobile device. While there aren’t any settings that need to be backed up in Among Us, you might still find it useful to note down your username and custom game settings so you can recover them later on. Once you have reinstalled the game, you can change your device time and the Jason mask along with other Halloween goodies should now be available to you.
Note: Android users can also clear their app data and cache manually from Settings so as to avoid reinstalling the game altogether. Keep in mind that you will still lose your in-game settings through this method as well.
