See which houses are handing out treats near you — live on Halloween night — and put your own house on the map in a minute. LIVE ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT Open your neighborhood and see every participating house on the map, with treat times, floor and door notes. Houses show "out of treats" the moment the bowl runs dry, so nobody rings a dark doorbell. Sort the list by street or by what's nearest. HAND OUT TREATS Register your house with your address, treat window and a friendly note. Check the pin is on your door, flip "Out of treats" when you run out, and back on when you restock. Handing out from more than one address? List up to five. FIND YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD Browse public neighborhoods, or join a private one with the code your organizer shares. Not listed yet? Create your own and invite the neighbors. FOR ORGANIZERS Approve houses before they appear on the map, add a house for a neighbor who won't install the app, export the house list, and share the night with co-organizers. BUILT FOR SAFETY & PRIVACY Organizer-vetted houses only. Door codes are shown only to signed-in members, and only when the organizer allows. Your email and phone are never shown to other trick-or-treaters. 16+ only. No ads, no tracking, and we never sell your data. Also on the web at create.innovaiden.com — one account works everywhere. Available in English and Swedish.

Make Halloween night a neighborhood adventure with Spooky Trails. Spooky Trails is a simple way for families, friends and neighbors to create and share their own trick-or-treating trails. Create a private Spooky Trail for your neighborhood, school community or group of friends, then invite others to join using the trail name and password. Households taking part can add their location to the map, so everyone knows where the Halloween fun is happening. How it works Create a trail or join one that’s already been set up. Add your home to the trail if you’re welcoming trick-or-treaters. Drop a pumpkin on your address and add a note if there’s anything visitors should know. When Halloween night arrives, open the shared map and see all the participating homes along your trail. Find the next pumpkin, plan your route or simply wander from one spooky stop to the next. Perfect for: • Neighborhood trick-or-treating • Families and groups of friends • Apartment buildings and residential communities • Schools and local Halloween events • Anyone who wants to make Halloween a little more fun Trails are private and protected by a password, so they’re designed to be shared with the people you choose rather than published for everyone to see. No more wondering which houses are taking part. No more walking three streets to find the next bowl of candy. Just grab your costume, open the map and follow the pumpkins. Happy haunting!
