Carve This Pumpkin!
Why does a jack-o’-lantern glow? A candle’s light travels in straight lines, and the thick pumpkin wall blocks most of it. The only way out is through the openings you carve. That’s why bigger openings let more light shine through.
In this game, pick a round, tall, or squat pumpkin and make it your own. Paint the skin, carve freehand with the carving tool, or drop on shapes like spooky eyes, a toothy grin, a bat, or a moon. Choose a candle, green, or purple glow, then turn the lights off and watch your design light up the porch.
