Jack-o'-Lantern
Two takes on the same idea: a pumpkin on a misty porch at night that you carve with your finger or mouse, then light from inside. Both hide a surprise for the right face. Play both and pick the one you like more.
Side by side runs both takes at once, which is heavy on phones. Tap once inside a take to turn on its sound.
How the takes differ
| Opus 5.5 Medium | Opus 5.5 Extra | |
|---|---|---|
| Setting | Porch step by a picket fence, with gravestones and hills under a hazy moon | Covered porch with a railing, bare trees, and dark pumpkins waiting out in the yard |
| Carving | Freehand cuts, with crumbs flying off the knife | Freehand cuts with a knife cursor; the pieces pop out of the shell |
| Random face | Five moods: classic, happy, spooky, surprised, silly | The pumpkin spins, then a new face is carved feature by feature |
| The candle | The lid lifts, the candle drops in, and you can blow it out or relight it | The lid lifts and the candle drops in; blow it out to take it back |
| The surprise | The pumpkin hops, a ghost peeks out of the lid and flies off, and the pumpkin starts blinking | The pumpkin hops, seven little lanterns in the yard light up with your face, and a ghost waves from behind |
| How you find it | Carve a smile by hand; Random face doesn't count | Carve a smile, by hand or with Random face |
| Fireflies | Come out with the ghost | Come out with the lanterns |

The idea
A big pumpkin on a wooden porch step at night that you carve by drawing on it, then light with a candle so the face glows and casts its shape onto the step and the mist, with a hidden surprise for the right face.
Opus 5.5 Medium
A big ribbed pumpkin on a wooden porch step, with small pumpkins, fallen leaves and a misty yard behind. Carve it freehand, drop the candle in and the face glows out across the step and the mist.

Show the secret (spoiler)
Carve a smiling face yourself (two eyes above a grin, not Random face), then light the candle.
Opus 5.5 Extra
A pumpkin on the porch steps with a candle waiting beside it and a dark yard full of mist behind. Cut with a little knife and the pieces pop out of the shell; Random face spins the pumpkin and carves a new one feature by feature.
