The latest Steal a Brainrot update was Frightrot – a massive Halloween-themed update with a huge amount of new content being added to the game.

A new Spooky Lucky Block introduced eight brand-new spooky Brainrots to the game.

All of these will be available during the Trick of Treating and Graveyard Events.

Last, but not least, we saw the new Witch Fuse Brainrot – the Headless Horseman (OP Secret).

Plenty of these new Brainrots have been teased by creator Sammy in the official Steal a Brainrot Discord, so it's worth heading there to check them out before release.

How to play the Frightrot event in Steal a Brainrot

Steal a Brainrot events usually go live at 7pm GMT, but you don't want to log on then, as the whole world will be trying to log on at the same time.

Instead, make sure to log on around 30 minutes earlier, so you can guarantee yourself a spot in the game.

If you're joining the event with a few friends, then it could be worth getting together on a private server so you aren't competing with anyone else!
