The Roblox game Grow a Garden has launched the second phase of its Halloween event — the Ghoul Garden 2 update — adding new pets, plant species, and event rewards for players globally. The 1.28.3 update, confirmed on October 18, 2025, follows the game’s record-breaking growth this year, cementing its place among Roblox’s most-played farming titles.​

UPDATE 1.28.4

A further update, released on 22nd October, brings the following changes in new and private servers (v2017+):

  • Reduced max amount of fruit that the Dark Spriggan and Ghostly Dark Spriggan can mutate.
  • Fixed the bug that didn't allow some mutations to be submitted to the Jack O Lantern.

The Ghoul Garden 2 event introduces five new ghostly-themed pets, alongside items such as the Spooky Egg and Great Pumpkin Seed, which can be earned through haunted gardening tasks. It builds on the community-driven Seed Stages system, enabling crops to evolve through multiple growth phases for higher value and rarity.​​

Players can redeem new in-game codes including RDCAward for an exclusive RDC Award cosmetic and BEANORLEAVE10 for a Green Bean Chamber decoration. These were activated alongside the event to coincide with Roblox’s ongoing seasonal celebrations.​

Adding to the momentum, the official Grow a Garden X account teased a “special guest” appearance on October 25, sparking speculation of an influencer collaboration or limited-time in-game admin event. Community forums speculate it could tie to the ongoing Halloween storyline featuring the mysterious Gravedigging quests unveiled last week.​​

Known for its relaxed yet rewarding loop, Grow a Garden now hosts over 20 million active players, with developer engagement and frequent content drops ensuring its viral longevity. The title’s low-pressure gameplay and unique weather and mutation mechanics continue to draw wide appeal among Roblox users of all ages.​
