🎃 October 2025 GOTM Winners 🪦
This month, the theme was “Haunted Haunts” — we were certainly spoiled for choice when looking at all the creepy-cool designs you’ve created!
Don’t forget — the CuppaZee Gardens Tool is your go-to resource for dreaming up your own designs or finding the perfect spot to deploy! Whether you’re going for grandeur or keeping it light, it’s the best place to start your garden adventure.
Without further ado, let’s jump right in to celebrate the winners for October:
🎃 Jack-o’-lantern Garden designed by Sevans and LiamCEvans in Broomfield, CO, US
Did you know this garden was designed by a father and son team? In addition, the impressive size of this garden was YEARS in the making at OVER 1,000 pins! We had featured it before in 2019, but as it wasn’t complete at the time, it could not win GOTM. We’re happy to see that the garden continued to grow and reap its reward today! While larger gardens understandably take a longer time to fill, we hope that doesn’t discourage those of you who enjoy designing them — more pins means the potential for more detail!
🪦 At night in the cemetery… designed by microx in Dresden, Saxony, DE
This design definitely stood out — or should we say, rose out (from the grave)! The wooden cross appears 3D thanks to the use of Virtual Browns strategically placed along the sides of the main Clan Weapon face. We also love the detail of the Naudiz Norse Zodiacs, with their deeper gray color, as the nails of the undead hand! Lastly, the freshly turned soil is made much more interesting with a HUGE assortment of munzee types — definitely a treasure trove unearthed for the players who are lucky enough to visit!

The best gardens often come together when players work together — so start brainstorming early and get those creative juices flowing! We can’t wait to see the incredible designs you come up with — and who knows, maybe one of them will take the top spot in a future GOTM!
