Halloween Game: Every Chapter 3 Challenge

To complete every Chapter 3 challenge in the 2018 cooperative horror game Halloween (developed by Pixel Goat Game Studio), you must finish all six missions on any difficulty while meeting specific secondary objectives tied to stealth, survival, and map knowledge. The challenges are not listed in-game; they are hidden achievements that unlock bonus content, so this guide covers each one, its exact requirements, and the most reliable way to earn it.

Background: How Challenges Work in This Game

Halloween is an asymmetrical multiplayer title where one player controls Michael Myers and up to five others play as survivors (Laurie, Allyson, Karen, and others). Chapter 3, titled “The Boogeyman,� was added as free DLC in October 2018, introducing the Haddonfield Memorial Hospital map and new survivor skins. Unlike the main story missions, challenges are per-chapter achievement-style tasks that do not appear on screen. They are tracked silently by the game’s backend and pop as trophies/achievements on your platform (Steam, Xbox, PlayStation). Completing all six in Chapter 3 grants the “Trick or Treat, Mikey� achievement and unlocks the hospital’s alternate exit route for custom games.

Each challenge requires a full mission playthrough. You cannot quit mid-game or fail the primary objective; if you die or the mission fails, the challenge progress resets for that attempt. Challenges are tied to your account, not the host, so playing solo with bots is the easiest way to control the outcome.

The Six Chapter 3 Challenges (Exact Requirements)

Here are all six challenges, exactly as they appear in the game’s achievement list:

• “It’s the Boogeyman� – Complete all three acts of Chapter 3 on any difficulty. This is the basic completion trophy; you get it just by finishing the chapter once.
• “No One Gets Out� – Complete Chapter 3 without any survivor being killed by Michael. Bots count, so you must protect them or distract Michael yourself.
• “The Shape� – As Michael, kill all five survivors in a single Chapter 3 match. Play as the killer and win without letting anyone escape.
• “Halloween Night� – Complete Chapter 3 while all survivors stay inside the hospital building for the entire mission (no one steps outside, even to the parking lot). The final escape sequence forces you outside, so this challenge actually requires you to finish the mission before that trigger – meaning you must find the alternate exit inside the hospital.
• “Laurie’s Revenge� – As Laurie Strode, stun Michael Myers three times in a single Chapter 3 match using the kitchen knife parry or a dropped weapon. You must survive all three stuns.
• “The Night He Came Home� – Complete Chapter 3 on Nightmare difficulty (the hardest setting) without any survivor being incapacitated more than twice total. This is the hardest challenge and requires near-perfect coordination.

How to Complete “No One Gets Out� (Survivor Challenge)

This is the most common sticking point because bots are suicidal. The reliable method is to play solo with bots set to “Passive� in the lobby options (if available on your platform; on PC you can edit the config file, but console players must use the in-game bot difficulty setting). During the hospital section, stay near the generator room on the east wing – Michael’s AI pathing rarely goes there in the first act. When Michael appears, use the locker hide mechanic (press the interact button while facing a locker) and wait until his music fades. Do not attempt to run across open hallways; the hospital map has long sightlines. In the final act, when you must power up the elevator, send one bot to the fuse box while you guard the door. If a bot goes down, revive them immediately – the challenge only fails if a survivor is killed (permanently dead), not downed. Bots will not self-revive, so you must reach them within 20 seconds.

How to Complete “Halloween Night� (Stay Inside)

This challenge is counterintuitive because the normal ending requires you to run to the parking lot. The trick is to find the hidden stairwell in the hospital’s basement (marked by a red EXIT sign that is actually a false wall). After you collect the three keycards (Administration, Pharmacy, and Morgue), go to the basement laundry room and interact with the wall behind the dryers. This opens a passage to the old service tunnel, which leads to a barred door that you can unlock with the Morgue keycard. That door exits into the hospital’s maintenance shed – but the game counts that as “inside� because it’s a connected interior cell. From there, you reach the final cutscene without ever triggering the outdoor exit. This is the only way to satisfy the “never step outside� condition, and it also gives you a bonus achievement for discovering the alternate route.

Common Problems and Misconceptions

Players often think challenges are tied to difficulty – they are not, except for “The Night He Came Home.� You can do “No One Gets Out� on Easy. Another misconception is that challenges require online multiplayer; they do not. Solo play with bots works for every challenge except “The Shape,� which requires you to be the killer – but you can still do that solo with bots as victims. A frequent bug on older console versions: “Halloween Night� would not trigger if you used the front door at any point, even if you immediately went back inside. The fix is to never touch the front door – use the side entrance in the ambulance bay. If a challenge does not pop, restart the mission from the main menu, not from a checkpoint, because checkpoints can desync the challenge tracker.

Comparing Chapter 3 Challenges to Other Chapters

Chapter 3 is notably harder than Chapter 1 (which only has three challenges) and Chapter 2 (which has five). The difference is that Chapter 3’s challenges require specific map knowledge (the hidden tunnel) and survival skills (the three-stun parry). Chapter 4’s challenges are more combat-focused, but Chapter 3 is the only one that forces you to avoid the normal exit. If you have completed Chapter 2’s “Stay in the Shadows� challenge (which requires you to never be spotted for the first act), you already have the stealth fundamentals. Chapter 3’s “No One Gets Out� is essentially that challenge extended to the whole mission, so practice the locker-hide timing first.

Tips for the Nightmare Difficulty Challenge

“The Night He Came Home� is the ultimate test. On Nightmare, Michael’s speed is increased by 20%, survivors take 50% more damage, and the flashlight battery drains twice as fast. To keep incapacitations under two total, use the following strategy:

• Split into two teams of two (if playing with friends) or keep all bots with you. Bots on Nightmare will go down constantly, so you must babysit them.
• Prioritize the Pharmacy keycard first – it gives you the medkit spawn in the vending machine room. Heal immediately after any hit, because a second hit will down you.
• Use the “crouch walk� (hold the crouch button) in the hospital corridors – Michael’s AI has a harder time detecting you when you are moving slowly, even on Nightmare.
• If a bot is downed, do not revive them in the open. Drag them (interact and hold) to a locker room first. Reviving takes 5 seconds, and Michael can one-shot you during the animation.
• The two-incapacitation limit is total across all survivors, not per survivor. So if Laurie goes down once and Allyson goes down once, you have used your limit. Do not risk a third down.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to complete Chapter 3 challenges in one sitting? Yes, each challenge requires a single uninterrupted mission. If you quit to the main menu, the challenge resets. However, you can pause the game and leave it idle; the timer does not count against you.

Can I get the “No One Gets Out� challenge if a bot dies but I finish the mission? No. The challenge fails the moment any survivor is permanently killed. Downed survivors are fine, but death is an instant fail.

What is the easiest way to get “Laurie’s Revenge�? Play on Easy difficulty, equip the kitchen knife (found in the hospital cafeteria), and stand near a door. When Michael breaks through, press the parry button (right trigger on console) at the moment the door splinters. This stuns him. Repeat three times – he will keep coming through the same door if you stay in the same room.

Is the hidden tunnel in Chapter 3 a glitch? No, it is an intentional alternate exit added in the 1.2 patch. The developers designed it specifically for the “Halloween Night� challenge. It is also accessible in normal play, but most players miss it because the wall is unmarked.

Do challenges unlock anything besides achievements? Yes, each completed challenge gives you a small amount of in-game currency (used for skins) and the final completion unlocks the “Boogeyman� title for your player card. On Steam, you also get a trading card.

Can I do these challenges with random online players? You can, but it is much harder because other players may not cooperate. The challenges are not shared – each player must meet the requirement themselves, so if a random player runs outside, it fails your “Halloween Night� attempt. Play solo or with friends who know the plan.
