Children can enjoy trick-or-treating from shop to shop in the centre.
“What we have done is invited each shop if they want to be involved. If they are, they will stay open and there will be a character like a witch or a zombie in the shop and the children will have to do a quest. They have to go to each shop to get sweets. They will get a sticker from that shop which they will stick on a card that is given to them when they register. Once they complete the card, they come to Kapow on the second floor for their final prize. They have to brave the haunted house to get their final prize,” said Burgin.
He explained that when children enter to take part in the quest, parents will receive a ticket for a lucky draw, but participants must be dressed to impress to qualify.

“As long as you come dressed up, you can get a ticket entry into the lucky draw. You can just have a witch’s hat or go all out with a full outfit and a broomstick, a suit of armour or a simple mask- you can put in as little or as much effort as you want, but as long as you are dressed up, you will stand a chance to win a prize,” added Burgin.
