Pumpkin High

Pumpkin High is the second Challenge Mode Campus of the game. Released in October 2022 and themed for Halloween, it features the Spiffinmoore Campus, and allows only the Wizardry Course. The goal is to develop the Student body to the point where there are 20 concurrent A-Grade Students, hampered by a reduced Learning Rate.

Massive witch Nefaria Munch is ruling the campus with an iron fist and a pointy stick (a wand, I'd imagine). She's cursed the entire student body with Pumpkin Head, turning their brains into orange mush, and she's sworn "no take-backs" until they improve their grades.

Take those fat-headed wand-wavers and make an army of genius henchmen for Ms Munch. Maybe then she'll lift the curse... maybe.

The player is tasked with taking Wizardry Students, all cursed with Perma-Pumpkin Head, and turning them into model pupils. This unique Medical Issue cannot be cured, and will afflict the student with a permanent -50% Learning Rate.

As such, the player will need to focus on boosting the Learning Rate by training Teachers, upgrading Equipment and adding Learning Power-boosting Items. Level 2 upgrades for Equipment are freely available, but Level 3 will require Research. Fortunately, there will be no Invaders, nor adverse Weather effects.

The challenge will conclude as soon as there are 20 A-Grade Students concurrently. Students that have achieved, but subsequently dropped below an A-Grade will not count. At the time this is achieved, the time taken will determine the player's tier:
