Community Event: Frightful October
Tis this season for the cozy and creepy! InkBlot is taking Halloween and celebrating all month.
What’s in Store:
🎃 Halloween Adoptables
If you tuned in to our Summer Sprint, then you know we had adopts for sale on Ko-Fi! We’re bringing them back but with more of a spooky Halloween vibe. Every Friday, we’ll be revealing a new adopt listing! You can catch little hints to what these could be throughout the week in our Discord Server or our Socials.
Towards the end of the month, we will be raffling a Free Adopt! Stay tuned for more information on that as we get closer to the 31st.
🍬 Freebies Every Week
Every Wednesday we’ll be dropping Freebies for the community! These will be various digital goods that will be both Halloween themed and InkBlot themed (starring Bo and Tai of course.) These Freebies will be accessible through our Ko-Fi and will be announced on all our social platforms.
👻 Halloween Themed Merch
Adoptables aren’t your vibe? No worries! CE Team is putting together affordable digital merch - like custom cursors 👀 These will be available mid October on our Ko-Fi with a price range of $10 - $25 depending on the good.
🐈⬛ Costume-a-Bo: The Dress Up Game
You’re probably familiar with InkBlot’s Dino Nuggie Picrew and Bo’s Birthday Picrew (if not, do check them out!) Well, with the help of our awesome CE Volunteers, we’re putting together Bo’s very own Dress Up game. This will be available October 28th! Folks who post their costumed Bo on InkBlot with #HalloweenBo will receive an exclusive Halloween badge.
Curious? Here’s a sneak peek 😉
We put out a crossword last month to hint at all the fun! Did you get it all?

Board Update: Where we’re at with NPO
In our last newsletter, we talked about how we had a bump in the road with regards to the name of our NPO. I’m happy to announce that we did get a name approved! We will be announcing this at a later date, so stay tuned 😏
But, what does this mean for our status?
We still have a few steps to take but the Arizona Secretary of State is close to finalizing everything. From there we’ll have some forms to sign but currently we’re waiting for those forms to get to our (Jay’s) door.
Our current goal right now is to get our Bylaws and Policies in order. The board has been working together to finalize all details of the Bylaws before sending it out. Either way, the NPO status is getting closer and closer by the day. We’re all at the edge of our seats, kicking our feet in excitement.
