This is a submission for Frontend Challenge - Halloween Edition, Perfect Landing
🍬 What I Built
I built Candy Overdose, a virtual Halloween experience where you can go trick-or-treating across the internet.
Instead of walking from house to house, you visit other players’ profiles — each one dressed up in their real Halloween costume.
When you visit someone, they give you digital candy… and when others visit you, you give them candy back! 🎃
Every player gets a Basic Candy Income (+3 daily candies), and you can earn even more by being active and creative.
Only real costumes allowed. The goal is to make online Halloween feel authentic.

🕹️ Demo
Each profile becomes a tiny haunted house in a shared digital neighborhood.
Journey
This started as part of the ABSURD.website experimental web universe — a network of playful, surreal online experiences.
The idea came from a simple question:
“What if Halloween could exist entirely online — but still feel real?”
I wanted to build something that celebrates people’s real creativity.
That’s why every photo is human-made, every like gives you candy, and every profile feels alive. Game will be active only till Nov 3.
Technically, it’s built with a custom lightweight front-end system + php that powers multiple absurd.website projects under one shared account system.
The landing page focuses on atmosphere — minimal, strange, and immersive.
