Back in the spooky season of 2024, Genshin Impact gave Travelers a Halloween-flavored reason to fire up social media. The Genshinpumpkin event, which ran from October 31, 2024, to November 10, 2024 at 23:59 UTC+8, challenged players to browse a special long image, count the hidden pumpkins, and share their findings with the hashtag #Genshinpumpkin and their Genshin Impact UID. It was a no-tricks, just-treats affair with 160 Primogems on the line for 100 lucky winners. Fast forward to 2026, and the event is a closed chapter, but its simple social-sharing formula still stands as a neat piece of Genshin community history.

How the Pumpkin Hunt Worked
The premise was simple enough to make even a slime blush. Travelers had to browse a special long image, spot as many pumpkins as they could, and then share the number on their preferred social platform. The key was to send the matching number of pumpkin emojis 🎃, add the hashtag #Genshinpumpkin, and include their Genshin Impact UID. On X, that meant quote-sharing the event post with the pumpkin count. On Facebook, Naver Cafe, Telegram, VK, and Instagram, players posted the hashtag and pumpkin emojis, then dropped their UID in the comments.
Multiple submissions were allowed, so eager Travelers could try their luck more than once. That said, it was not a free-for-all. Only one prize could be won per Traveler, and prizes could not be stacked. The event ran across multiple platforms, and winners were selected from the entire pool, not from separate regional buckets. If the same entry somehow won on more than one platform, the prize went to the platform where it was first posted after verification. In other words, no double-dipping.
The Reward: 160 Primogems and Bragging Rights
For 100 lucky winners, the prize was 160 Primogems. In Genshin terms, that is exactly one wish, or one step closer to a five-star character or weapon. It may not sound like a dragon’s hoard, but for a community event that only asked for a social media post, it was a sweet deal. The rewards were total across all platforms, meaning there was no fixed number reserved for each platform or region. Everyone was in the same boat, and the competition was a bit of a lottery.
Rules of the Road
The event notes were clear, and they were not just decoration. Content that violated laws, regulations, or community rules was prohibited, as was anything unrelated to the event, including advertisement links and other promotional tricks. Travelers could submit multiple times, but only one prize per person was allowed. If a winning entry was suspected of breaking the rules, the prize could be revoked, and the account could be permanently banned from future community events. That is a fate worse than a C-tier artifact roll.
Winners also had to accept that their game UID would be published on the event platform. The UID was only used to deliver Primogem rewards and was protected under local privacy laws. If a player provided the wrong UID and the reward failed to arrive, the official team would not re-issue it. So, as with any gacha-adjacent activity, checking the details was crucial. Primogems were scheduled to be delivered within 30 business days after the results announcement.
What Happened After the Event
The results were announced on November 22, 2024. From there, the 100 winners had to wait up to 30 business days for their Primogems to land in their accounts. By 2026, the Genshinpumpkin event has long since wrapped up, and the rewards have been distributed. Newer players cannot join the original campaign, but the event remains a good example of how Genshin Impact uses seasonal moments to keep its community engaged. It was low-effort, high-charm, and perfectly timed for Halloween.
Final Thoughts
The Genshinpumpkin event was not a groundbreaking gameplay update. It did not add a new region, a new boss, or a new character. Instead, it offered a lighthearted social media quest with a modest but welcome reward. For Travelers who took part, it was a chance to show off their pumpkin-spotting skills and maybe score a free wish. For everyone else, it was a reminder that sometimes the best events are the ones that bring the community together with a simple hashtag, a few emojis, and a whole lot of pumpkins. 🎃
Data referenced from PC Gamer helps frame why campaigns like Genshin Impact’s time-limited Genshinpumpkin social challenge work so well: low-friction participation, clear rules, and a small-but-tangible in-game incentive (160 Primogems) that converts seasonal hype into community posts across multiple platforms.
