LINE’s Halloween limited chat room background effects are launched. Enter these 3 sets of special effect keywords to summon a mysterious partner!
On Halloween every October 31st, many people will meet with their friends to decide what theme they will dress up for this year, and participate in trick-or-treating activities, pumpkin lantern decorations and other activities. Many restaurants and brand owners will also launch Halloween-themed activities during this period, allowing everyone to participate in the lively atmosphere of Halloween in different ways. Recently, LINE officially launched Halloween-limited chat room background effects. As long as you enter keywords in the chat room, you can summon Bear, Bunny, and Sally to “make trouble” in the background!
There are three groups of keywords for Halloween chat room special effects this year, including “Halloween”, “Pumpkin” and “Ghost”. Entering any of the above keywords can randomly generate chat room background special effects.
If your mobile phone version is LINE 12.0.0 (inclusive) or above, when you enter a keyword and the chat room special effects appear, the keyword will be presented in the form of a link. If you want to replay the chat room special effects later, just click the keyword link! You can enjoy summer fireworks effects over and over again without having to reload your friend’s messages all the time!

This year’s Halloween chat room effects run from October 25th until November 1st at 10am.

Why can’t I see the homepage effects?
If you find that your APP and system versions are supported, but you do not see Halloween special effects on Halloween, it may be due to the following reasons:
- If the special effects display period happens to be your birthday, the birthday special effects will take priority over the homepage.
- Please confirm that “Playback Effects” is turned on in LINE settings, or re-open LINE APP
- Setting path: LINE Home>Settings>Playback Special Effects)
- If your phone has a function to reduce special effects, please find and turn off the function in the settings.
- iOS setting path: Settings>Accessibility>Dynamic Effects>Reduce Dynamic Effects
- Android setting path: Settings > Assistance Tools > Remove Animation (varies by model and version)
- If you have newly installed the LINE APP in the near future, the APP may not be able to download the special effects materials immediately, which may result in the special effects not being displayed properly on the day of the event.
