UPDATE BUNNY: Many players are seeing the “getPlayArea…” Error Message. I did already report this and have not seen anything back as of yet. Please make sure you are also reporting it to them until it is resolved. Contact TinyCo info HERE. 
UPDATE BUNNY 11/1 2PM EST: TinyCo is narrowing down fix for this as they continue to work on it. For impacted players that contacted them, please watch for and respond ASAP to any questions that they have (if you get any). Thanks so much.
Hello There Clammers!
TinyCo has dropped a fun Dia De Los Muertos upon us! For this weekend only…you can get the Rupert Mystery Box (for Vials) and win Dia De Los Muertos themed prizes!
Let’s take a closer look!
Consuela is on sale! She’s now 180 Clams! Now THAT is a steal!
You’ll find the Rupert Mystery Box in your store for 500 Spirit Vials!
Inside the box you’ll find all kinds of Dia De Los Muertos themed Goodies! Here’s what you can win:

Dia De Los Muertos Conseula- A skin for Conseula…requires Consuela to use. However you can unlock it with out Conseula.

Love the new update. Really hope they plan on giving us something to use up all these jars on, either trading them in for vials our some sort of mystery box. I’ve got over 800 combined and counting.

After the reading the other comments, I’m considering purchasing Consuela. Does this skin give her an additional quest line or just new tasks? Also, do the skins tasks earn vials? Thanks
LikeLike
There is tasks and a questline. All her tasks earn vials and FP as well as one will get you either one Chocolate or Graham Rockets.

Didn’t have Consuela but opened a box once and got Dia De Los, so I finally went ahead and bought her for the slightly cheaper price. 🙂

This is awesome! i like day of the dead stuff. If only I could sell all my extra ingredients for more vials then I would be super happy.

You can get Consuelas costume multiple times as well. I got her and created the outfit. I then played the mystery box more to unlock the other things and got her outfit 2 more times. Wasted 1000 vials that I desperately needed. I was so close to having Mr. Weed. they sure love to give you that skull as well.

That is odd. Take a screenshot and contact them via your game. In the meantime force close the app and restart your device.

Tried the new box, and got everything exactly once, and Consuela’s costume was of course last. No matter, I have more vials than I can use, thanks to the Spirit Vial lab I won. Might even go back and buy a couple more Sugar Skulls. And white flowers. Somehow I am sitting on a ton of red and blue ones from the 4th of July event, no white ones, though.
Another thing: the Bunch of Bats are animated now. When I brewed them a couple of days back they just hung in the air, looked really weird. Now they are flying around.
And: The decoration that is named ‘Our Lady of Renda’ in your list is called ‘Old Lady Ofrenda’ in my game.

Is any one else having crashing issues for the Consuela skin? After the 10 minutes were up to create it the game crashed after I click on Al’s and the pop up for unlocking the skin shows. When I go back in its like I never clicked on it then happens again. I have forced closed the game, restarted my phone and even uninstalled and reinstalled but it’s still doing it. I have an open ticket with TinyCo at the moment.
LikeLike
Well with consuela only costing me $2 out of pocket, I can hardly resist a deal like that!
Also opened the rupert box and got all of the prizes while only managing to hit sugar skulls twice.
Once I defeat Stay Puft one more time for the 25x streak, I’ll be able to finish the hoarder quest. but, will there be more later in the week?
I’m betting there will be!
otherwise I’ll have nothing to do with all the left over event currency!
LikeLike
Anyone else notice that the bunch of bats deco is now animated? Also discounting consuela and giving her a new outfit was a clever way to convince me she was worth getting. I do hope we get more mystery boxes to spend the vials on as I have brewed everything and collected all the items from this box and I still have over 70k vials to play with. I also hope tinyco adds animation to freddy’s toolshed etc.
LikeLike
Well I rushed into this one very excitedly but it looks like I might pay for doing that. I spent the 180 clams, and perhaps naively thought that Consuela’s costume might come up early. Well, seven tries later no costume, but two skulls. Since these boxes are usually no repeats, this really misled me. I would have saved the 3500 clams towards Mr. Weed, which now looks it like will be impossible to get. I’m quite disappointed. Has anyone actually received the costume?
LikeLike
I did. Only got 2 skulls…but got it all and her.
LikeLiked by 1 person
It’s just hard to rationalize taking a chance yet again, if I end up empty handed another time. And I don’t see how to make up the 4,000 vials towards Mr. Weed either… at this point 14,000 vials in under 7 days is a bit of a fantasy. At 400 vials for a 50-clam box of ten rockets (25x stay-puft) that costs 500 clams to get the Consuela costume or to catch up towards Mr. Weed.
I had never spent any clams until this event, working towards everything diligently. Now it seems like I’m getting burned the first time I do so. Frustrating.

TinyCo has outdone themselves. I was wondering what I would do for the rest of the night tonight and bam! The custome, the skull, the fountains, the tombs are just wiked! Love it! Tho, I just really wasn’t into the Ghostbusters theme as much… I chuck it up to the fact that it was made like half a decade before I was born,… Slimmer is neat when he plays with Peter or Joe, but other then that he looks like a booger. Ewe…. Lol 😛 … And the collection of GB stuff to get the car—- meh. I only did it cuz I like the challenge. I left those items in my inventory, My own personal thing* I just didn’t love it’….. ya’know? And then there’s the whole thing with cars, it’s cute how there’s a “car thing” it’s just not for me. But I’m sure some of you are liking it. The taco one is pretty koo, it also makes sense that it would be parked on the grass…. Anyways, these are not complains, just sharing personal feelings and in general I have absolutely loved the whole Halloween agenda. …..and now I’m up to where Freddie is Meg’s boyfriend, I’ve collected everything, brewed everything, and can’t wait to see what other funny things these characters get up to….. Peter poops in the shed…. Lol!!!!

I have taken advantage of the sale price on Conseula. I was planning on getting her at some point, and this price was too good to pass up. I am not sure if I will go after the skin though. I would rather make a run at unlocking Ecto-1, which requires getting Freddy.

Yeah, the Consuela at 40% off is the biggest part of this for me. Instant purchase. And then I spent all 4000 vials I had saved up on the box in the hopes of getting the outfit to no avail. Hopefully I’ll still have enough for the brewing of items I want…
I’ll probably get the brain-damaged horse now, since he’s effectively only 20 clams since it’ll complete the set…

I am the proud owner of 10 sugar skulls..ouch. really want that outfit. Have everything else. I really could care less about the slimer decoration so it’s not a big deal if I don’t get all the decos in the cauldron.
