Okay.
Here's how it works - based largely on my memories from two years ago, so correct me if I'm inaccurate.
What you need to do is get to a zone appropriate for your level - ie, if you're level 24, go to Talos Island, if you're level 10, go to King's Row, and so on. Some of the high-level zones...like the Hive, Recluse's Victory, parts of the Shadow Shard...don't work for this, but most of the game's cool.
Yes, I believe you can sidekick/exemplar per normal.
Anyway. What you then do is find a door. Any door. Any clickable entrance-type thingy. Click it.
When you do, you either get a Trick or a Treat - you'll know which, a big message will flash on your screen.
Treats are little rewards like inspirations and such. There's also a temp power: rock. Yeap. A rock. It's a Peanuts homage. But what we're really after this year...are the special salvage items that drop as treats. If you get a full set of 'em - three, I think - you can exchange them in Croatoa or Nerva to unlock an extra costume slot.
Tricks...trigger a spawn of halloween-themed enemies. They pop out of the doors. There's badges for defeating a certain number of each type. Hunter, Slayer, and so on.
Each player can only click a door every 30 seconds. There's a timer.
Now, should you group for Trick or Treating? No, you don't have to, really. But if you're on a team, you'll earn the kill badges faster, since you can have constantly staggered waves of enemies and such.
The Halloween event also has a special Eochai giant monster spawn - the big pumpkinhead turns up in most city zones. Defeating one gives a badge. This year, they'll be accompanied by Unseelie mobs...which give yet another kill badge. I've heard some talk that Jack in Irons might be out there as well, but I ain't sure.
And that's it, I think.
