Grow a Garden Grave Digger Event Guide

All Digging Quests, Rewards, and How to Complete Them

The Halloween celebration in Grow a Garden reaches a spine-chilling new level with the Grave Digger Event — a thrilling digging quest that lets players uncover hidden treasures beneath the haunted soil. Introduced during the Ghoul Garden 2 Halloween update, this event gives gardeners a chance to earn exclusive Halloween pets, gear, seeds, and rare items by excavating mystery rewards buried underground.

If you’ve been enjoying the Ghoul Garden’s spooky vibes and want to boost your Halloween inventory, this comprehensive guide will help you master the digging system, complete quests efficiently, and decide which rewards are worth chasing.

🪦 What Is the Grave Digger Event in Grow a Garden?

The Grave Digger Event, also known as the Digging Quest, is a limited-time activity where players can dig up special rewards hidden beneath a spooky 5×5 grid. It’s part of the ongoing Halloween content and takes place near the Dead Tree NPC in the central event zone.

This mini-game blends luck, timing, and exploration — you’ll need to uncover treasures before the timer runs out, and each session only allows a limited number of digs. Whether you’re aiming for rare crops like Mummy’s Hand, pets like Hex Serpent, or items like the Halloween Gear Box, this event is your best chance to grab them all.

⏰ Grave Digger Event Schedule & Rules

Timing is crucial if you want to participate in the Grave Digger event. It doesn’t run all day — it appears at fixed intervals.

🕒 Event Schedule:

Appears every 2 hours beside the Dead Tree NPC
Lasts for 30 minutes each time
Only active during this 30-minute window

You can join the event as soon as it spawns. Head over to the designated area near the Scream-ven NPC — that’s where the digging takes place.

⛏️ How the Digging System Works

The Grave Digger event uses a grid-based system similar to a treasure hunt. Once you start the quest, you’ll be presented with a 5×5 board (25 tiles) covered by skeleton hands. Each tile may hide a reward — or nothing at all.

🎮 Step-by-Step Breakdown:

Start the Event
When the Grave Digger event begins, go to the Scream-ven NPC next to the Dead Tree. Press ‘E’ to interact. Choose the option that says “Let’s go grave digging!”
Understand the Grid
You’ll see 25 squares on your screen, forming a 5×5 grid. Every tile represents a possible reward.
Use Your Digs
You start each session with 10 digs. Click on any tile to dig and reveal what’s underneath.

Bonus Digs
You’ll get 1 free bonus dig every 5 minutes, up to the maximum of 10. Bonus digs don’t stack beyond that limit, so use them regularly.
Finding Rewards
When you uncover part of a reward, check the adjacent tiles — rewards often span multiple squares. Dig in the direction of the uncovered fragment to complete it.
Out of Digs?
If you run out of chances, you can refill digs for 59 Robux. This is optional but useful if you’re chasing high-value drops.

💡 How to Complete the Digging Quest (Step-by-Step)

If you’re new to Grow a Garden’s event system, completing your first Digging Quest might seem confusing. Here’s how to do it efficiently:

🧩 Step 1: Wait for the Event

The Grave Digger Event spawns every two hours beside the Dead Tree NPC. Keep an eye on the in-game timer or listen for the global event notification.

⚒️ Step 2: Head to the Scream-ven NPC

Once active, go to the right side of the Dead Tree. You’ll find the Scream-ven NPC standing near a circular dirt pit.

💬 Step 3: Interact and Start Digging

Press ‘E’ and select “Let’s go grave digging.” The digging grid will appear on your screen.

🧱 Step 4: Choose Your Tiles

Use your available digs to click on tiles. Start by digging the corners or center tiles — statistically, this helps cover more ground.

🕵️ Step 5: Follow the Clues

If you uncover a partial item, dig around it. Rewards like crates or pets can occupy multiple tiles.

🔄 Step 6: Use Bonus Digs Wisely

Every 5 minutes, you’ll earn a free dig. Don’t wait too long — use them immediately so you don’t waste the cooldown.

💎 Step 7: Claim Your Rewards

Once the event ends or you run out of digs, your discovered rewards will be automatically added to your inventory.

🧭 Tips and Tricks to Win More Rewards

Want to maximize your haul during each Grave Digger session? Here are some expert tips:

Join Early: Be present at least 2–3 minutes before the event starts to get your digs in before the area fills with players.
Start in the Center: Begin digging near the center of the grid to increase your coverage area.
Look for Patterns: When you find part of an item, it’s usually connected to nearby tiles — dig around it to complete the reward.

Participate Often: Since the event appears every 2 hours, join multiple sessions throughout the day for more chances at rare drops.
Use Robux Strategically: Only spend Robux to refill digs if you’ve already uncovered a rare item like the Hex Serpent or Mummy’s Hand fragment.
Combine With Other Events: Many Grave Digger rewards, like seeds and pets, tie into other ongoing events (e.g., Dead Tree Quests). Use them together for even better results.

🪙 Is the Grave Digger Quest Worth It?

Absolutely — the Grave Digger Event is one of the best free-to-play activities in the Ghoul Garden 2 update. Here’s why:

✅ Pros:

Completely free to join (no entry fee or requirements)
Chance to earn rare Halloween-exclusive pets like Goblin and Hex Serpent
Opportunity to collect valuable seeds like Mummy’s Hand and Zombie Fruit

Regular event schedule means multiple daily chances
Great way to stock up on Halloween resources like Candy Corn and Spooky Crates

❌ Cons:

Limited digs per event can slow progress
Low drop rates (2%) for ultra-rare rewards
Requires patience and consistent participation

Despite the low odds for legendary items, the event offers enough frequent drops (Spooky Eggs, Crates, Tools) to make it worthwhile for all players.

If you’re serious about completing your Halloween collection or simply love treasure-hunting mechanics, the Grave Digger event should be on your priority list.

🕯️ Final Thoughts: Unearth the Secrets of Ghoul Garden

The Grave Digger Event is more than just a mini-game — it’s a core part of the Grow a Garden Halloween experience. It rewards persistence, timing, and a bit of luck, making it one of the most exciting events in the game’s seasonal rotation.

From uncovering spooky pets like Crows and Goblins to earning mythical crops such as Wisp Flowers and Mummy’s Hands, every dig brings the thrill of discovery. Even if you don’t score the rarest drops right away, the steady stream of rewards keeps it fun and rewarding.

So grab your shovel, head to the Dead Tree, and start digging! The haunted soil hides treasures waiting to be unearthed — but only for those brave enough to dig deep.
