I'm Already Saving Coins for ZZZ's Spooky Funhouse Tales

October 2026 is not here yet, but my inner Halloween gremlin is already pacing. I have been poking around the latest details for Spooky Funhouse Tales in Zenless Zone Zero, and the event sounds like the kind of weird, crunchy side mode I love. It is a Halloween trick-or-treat combat event in Version 3.3, and it launches on October 22, 2026, just one day after Version 3.3 goes live. Honestly, I am hooked. The funhouse is already whispering my name, and it has a very mischievous voice.

Here is the short version I keep repeating to my friends: this is not a normal combat event. I will not be mashing dodge and attack until the screen goes quiet. Instead, I will be scaring off visitors, which is a polite way of saying I will be eliminating enemies with trick mobiles and a carefully arranged deck of cards. That is my kind of chaos.

Scare Off Visitors, But Make It Strategic

The first step is simple on paper: scare off visitors. In practice, that means eliminating enemies. The funhouse has dressed the whole thing up like a Halloween attraction, and I respect the commitment. The trick mobiles are loaded with contraptions that are supposed to frighten guests, but only if I trigger things in the right order. The trick mobile practically grumbles when I get the sequence wrong, and I can already tell I will hear that sound a lot before I learn the rhythm.

After each round, I earn coins. Those coins let me purchase cards, and I can also refresh the shop when the card selection is not giving me what I want. I already know I will spend too long staring at the shop, whispering, just one more refresh. The cards come in categories such as action cards and Agent cards, and Agent cards have preferred deck builds. That means I need to build around my Agents instead of throwing random cards into a pile and hoping for the best.

Purchase, Arrange, Then Let the Deck Do the Work

The second step is purchasing and arranging cards. This is where the event turns into a tiny puzzle box. I need to line up my action cards in the proper order, because the combat phase will automatically execute my deck from left to right. No extra input. No last-second panic dodge. Just my decisions, lined up like a tiny parade, marching toward whatever poor visitor is waiting on the other side.

The third step is execution. If I built the cards right and arranged them so they work well with one another, I should be able to defeat any adversary that comes my way. That sounds clean and satisfying, which is exactly why I am suspicious. No joke, I am already planning to test a few Agent-focused decks and see which one makes the coins jingle with a smug little grin.

The Rewards Are Pulling Me In

I am not going to pretend the rewards are an afterthought. Proxies can get the free A-Rank Armorer W-Engine, Candlelit Scheme, after completing certain commissions in Spooky Funhouse Tales. A free W-Engine is a free W-Engine, and this one has a name that fits the Halloween mood perfectly.

Spooky Funhouse Tales is also part of the Angels Support Operation free skin event. Completing certain objectives and stages will net one of the three free skins for the Angels of Delusion members: Sunna, Aria, and Nangong Yu. That means the event is not just a combat playground; it is a direct path to cosmetics I will actually use. I will be there with bells on, and probably with a questionable card deck in my pocket.

My Game Plan

I am going into Spooky Funhouse Tales with a simple plan:

• 🎃 Learn the trick mobile timing and stop treating every round like a sprint.

• 🪙 Save coins early, then refresh the shop only when the deck truly needs it.

• 🃏 Pick one Agent core and build the action cards around that core.

• 📚 Read the card order like a tiny story, because left-to-right execution means every slot matters.

• 👻 Grab Candlelit Scheme and push toward the free skins before the Halloween mood fades.

The event lands on October 22, 2026, and I already know my evening is booked. The funhouse can keep whispering. I will be the player inside, rearranging cards, buying one more round of coins, and trying to scare off visitors with a deck that looks ridiculous until it suddenly works. That is the Halloween energy I want in Zenless Zone Zero this year.
