The Game: You are trick or treating and want to get the best candy haul possible (and the highest score).

How to play: Post what order you want to visit houses in this format:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
Then I will enter it into the computron and tell you the results. Once you get your score you can try again.
:siren: update: enter your route in this site and post your high score in the thread :siren:
https://goons.neocities.org/trickortreat.html

Tips: You can try to visit as many houses as you want but you won't be able to get to all of them and some you won't want to go to. Order matters. Nothing is random. Every game is the same, so you can look at past results to figure out how to score higher.

High Score:
Ignatius M. Meen 86

Go!

The trick is to trade masks with your friends and just keep going to the same house over and over. Especially if they have the Reese's Cups.

Or find the house that has the "Please take 1" candy bowl sitting outside. Take 1 bowl more like.

So if number three is your twelfth house, theoretically it should be safe? Maybe always after that? Maybe it becomes safe sooner?

it looks like you get tired by the 9th or 10th house, and that's why people don't end up with poison apples. any trip shorter that includes a poison apple house automatically resolves to 0 points.

more to the point, anything AFTER you get tired doesn't count for the sake of points or dying.

actually, thinking about it, there's probably a distance traveled maximum that gets involved and determines when you get tired. not hard to test that theory either
