Barbarian Look-Alike: Clash of Clans’ Halloween Showdown

A wild contest for fans, featuring costumes, prizes and the chance to channel your inner Barbarian.

TL;DR: To celebrate Halloween, Clash of Clans is hosting a Barbarian Look-Alike competition with grand prizes (including up to 14,000 gems and a $10,000 grand prize), live events and social-media entries. Here’s how you join, win and stand out.

If you’ve played Clash of Clans, you’ve seen or used the iconic Barbarian — sword raised, war cry ready, hair flying. Now the devs are inviting the community to dress up, strike the pose and compete. Whether you’re cos-playing at an event or posting your look online, the Barbarian Look-Alike contest is your moment.

What’s the Competition?

The official contest announcement from Supercell invites players to post Barbarian-themed costumes or photos (or attend a live event at select locations) under the hashtag #BarbarianHalloween. The prize pool includes:

• Top prize: 14,000 gems + $10,000 cash (event dependent) :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
• Runners up: various gem packs, exclusive in-game apparel and recognition within the community.
• Special categories: “Best costume,” “Best photo edit,” and “Best duo/group” entries.

Why It Works for Fans & the Developer

The contest hits multiple sweet spots:

• Community engagement: Fans get real-world and online participation. They feel seen and part of the game’s culture.
• User-generated content: Posts with the contest hashtag spread organically, boosting awareness.
• Brand loyalty: Unique events like this strengthen the bond between players and the game.

Tips for Making Your Entry Stand Out

Want to be one of the winners? Try these insider moves:

1. Use dramatic lighting: a strong shadow behind you adds that “Barbarian on war-board” vibe.
2. Show movement: mid-swing of a sword, war cry, battle stance — motion attracts better attention.
3. Create contextual props: spare shields, rubble, or game-themed items help tell the story.
4. Post early and encourage comments: early entries often get more exposure; respond to people engaging your post.

My Quick Verdict

This contest is a smart move by Supercell and a fun opportunity for players. If you love the Barbarian character or just want to get creative — this is your time. Community-driven contests like this keep the game’s momentum going, and you might just earn some gems and fan fame along the way.
