Scoring Rules

How scoring works

It's not just how much candy you grab. Your Haullo Score rewards smart, social, real-world trick-or-treating — and it's verified by an end-of-night photo of your haul.

The official score

Your Haullo Score is the smart score

Haullo Score is Haullo's official ranking. At the end of the night you dump your haul, snap one photo, and our AI verifies your count. From there, your score is about how you trick-or-treated — not just how big your bag is.

A small, clever haul can beat a giant one. Variety, being social, and actually being out during Halloween hours all count.

What counts

What goes into your Haullo Score

Six things shape your score. Candy is just one of them.

Your candy haul

Every piece counts, and bigger treats are worth more (mini chocolate 1, bagged/boxed chocolate 12, full size 20, king size 100…). Premium treats have caps so nobody can dump — common candy is uncapped.

Variety

The more different candy types you collect, the more bonus points you earn. Hunt for a mix, not just a pile of the same thing.

Being social

Posting your haul, getting reactions, adding friends, commenting, and joining group raids and Gauntlets all add to your score.

Getting out there

Every house you visit and tag on the map earns participation points. The more of your neighborhood you actually cover, the higher you climb — the app rewards real-world effort.

Timing

Being out during real trick-or-treat hours pays off. You earn points for each hour you're active on Halloween night, for verifying your haul, and for scouting houses on the map before the big night — so playing at the right time counts, not just how much you grab.

Badges & challenges

Verifying your haul unlocks the badges you earned that night — bragging rights, not points. Completing a challenge is the part that adds bonus points on top of your haul.

Caps and anti-cheat checks keep things fair — premium items are limited, and when location is on, your count can't outrun the houses you actually visited. No phone that night? Those caps simply don't apply.

Three ways to win

Three rankings, three kinds of bragging rights

See how you stack up in whichever way you like to play.

Pieces

Pure quantity — every single piece of candy counts, no caps. Best for bragging about the biggest haul of the night.

Points

Each candy's face value added up across your haul. Rewards a high-value bag — watch out, a toothbrush is −500!

School vs. school, made fair

A school's rank is its players' average Haullo Score — not the total. So a small school full of great trick-or-treaters can beat a huge one. It's about how good your typical player is, not how many students you have.

Fair by design

How schools compete

Schools go head-to-head on the leaderboard, ranked by the average verified Haullo Score of their trick-or-treaters. Averaging keeps it fair across big and small schools alike — every player lifts their school's average, so everyone's haul matters.

You'll see the top schools in your state and across the nation, plus how your own school stacks up.
