Can we pass 30,000 on Halloween?

Happy Halloween! WitchCatcher players have spotted 22,304 witch hats around Salem this year so far. Can we get to over 30,000 today? Just 7,700 to go.

The biggest day of the year

Salem will be full of witch hats today: on Essex Street, around the Common, down by the wharf, and on every corner in between. Every one you spot is a tap, and every tap counts toward the total.

7,700 in one day would be our biggest day by far: the record is 2,934, set on October 17 when Witch Hats on the Wharf filled Derby Wharf. So we need everyone. If you're in Salem today, open WitchCatcher and count every witch hat you see. If you're not, tell a friend who is.
