In PETAPETA School of Nightmares, the Rune can be obtained by collecting 20 pumpkins during the duration of the Halloween Spotlight. These pumpkins are extremely small and spawn at different places on the map.

To begin the quest, head to one of the teleporters in the game's lobby. It is advised to join a party of four players to avoid being the sole target for the monster. You and your teammates will be teleported to the school, where the entire hide-and-seek is going to take place.

There are multiple levels in PETAPETA School of Nightmares. You begin at level one, but can proceed to the next by collecting keys and unlocking the exit door. Note that these keys are different from the Key associated with the Halloween Spotlight.

It is possible to find all 20 pumpkins in the first level itself. If not, you can move on to the next level and keep collecting them. The number of gathered pumpkins is highlighted by a counter on the top right of the screen.

The Halloween Spotlight Key quest becomes available in PETAPETA School of Nightmares only after you've collected the Rune quest. This means it is compulsory to get 20 pumpkins before proceeding to the next challenge.

To get the Key, you'll need to complete all three levels in the game on any difficulty. Each successive level has different mechanics that make survival even more challenging. For instance, in the second level, you'll need to break windows to access rooms, while in the third level, you have to use portals to move about in the school.

The Key is only rewarded to players if they unlock all three doors across the three levels. Regardless of the chosen difficulty, this challenge is demanding and requires a lot of focus.
