Trick or Terraria, the spooktacular Halloween contest is back

Terraria is more exciting now than ever with its upcoming 1.4.5 update. Many of us thought that Re-Logic was done adding content to the iconic sandbox experience, but time and time again the developer proves that it’s not finished quite yet.

You’ll get to choose from five different categories this year. If you’d prefer to make something more hands-on, you can carve a pumpkin in real life with a Terraria-themed design, snap a photo, and submit it. Just like at last year’s carving winner above. Alternatively, you can conjure up some art or even craft your very own Terraria cosplay. As long as your submission is Terraria-inspired, it counts.

For players like me who are less artistically blessed in real life, in-game opportunities are open for entry. We can opt to build something directly in Terraria, whether that be a giant Jack-o’-lantern or a haunted gothic mansion. Then, we can simply submit the creation by using the in-game screenshot tool or “your device’s own screenshot capturing options.” Check below for one of the previous year’s
