On Saturday 3 October 2026, I won my single Boopie #40 (Tier 4 prize) after an intensive two-day hunt to collect 400 Halloween buckets across Bellisseria.
In the earlier 2024 and 2025 events, collecting 400 buckets awarded three Boopies (Tiers 2, 3, and 4) alongside a Tier 1 shelf unit to display these Boopies. Winning only one Boopie in 2026 felt disappointing.
This year's Tier 1–3 prizes felt unrewarding, the prizes felt like left-overs from the Swaginator Hunt and I would have preferred staying with the three Boopies and shelf format of 2025 and 2024.
The new "Next" button on the 2026 HUD halved the collection time compared to previous years. At first, I welcomed it, but this feature quickly made the hunt feel too predictable and repetitive, removing the excitement of exploring unfamiliar areas of Bellisseria.
To address this, could the LDPW please introduce a dual-HUD system for 2027? I suggest offering a standard HUD (with the "Next" button) and a separate "Hardcore Hunter" HUD (without "Next"). To prevent exploitation, each HUD should maintain an independent counter. Reintroducing the three-Boopie prize structure exclusively for the Hardcore HUD would highly incentivise dedicated collectors.
Finally, I request that the LDPW issue a Bucket Placement Advisory Notecard to resident hosts to ensure reasonable Halloween bucket placement. Additionally, hosts should be encouraged to adjust their parcel security systems to allow hunters sufficient time to collect buckets without being automatically ejected from a Linden Home parcel.
