From Haunts to Harvests: Upland’s Harvest Season 2025 Decor Challenge Begins!

Update: Leaderboard is LIVE HERE​

Harvest Season 2025 has arrived in Upland, and with it comes a brand-new Decor Challenge that’s all about storytelling, design, and sidewalk spectacle. This season, we’re shifting gears, from spooky chills to seasonal charm, and inviting players to bring the streets of Upland to life with immersive builds that feature Harvest Season Ornaments front and center.

The ghosts may have vanished, but the pumpkins linger, and the mood is shifting from eerie to heartwarming. “From Haunts to Harvests” celebrates this seasonal handoff, where Halloween’s twilight glow makes room for Thanksgiving’s golden hour. And now, it’s your turn to show that transformation in style.

This challenge puts POV Mode in the spotlight. Forget the bird’s-eye view, we want designs that pop from the sidewalk, tell a story, and make every walking Uppie stop and stare. Think street-level set design: jack-o’-lanterns lighting up harvest tables, gothic gates framing cozy scenes, and scarecrows standing sentry beside flickering lanterns.

To enter, choose any property in Upland that features a Harvest Ornament. Then, let your creativity run wild. This contest is all about vibe, cohesion, and originality — builds that turn a corner lot into a seasonal showcase.

The challenge is officially live and runs through Tuesday, November 11th at 9 AM PT, so don’t wait to start crafting your city’s perfect fall moment.

Pro Tip: Builds that use assets in clever ways, creating layered scenes, tight compositions, and visual narratives, are the ones that will rise to the top. Think of this as your stage, and the sidewalk your spotlight.
