Car Costume Contest 2025

October is here, and you know what that means — costumes, candy, and things that go bump in the night! Whether you're into creepy crawlies, mythical monsters, or outer space alien princess pirates, Halloween is the perfect time to let your imagination run wild.

Speaking of wild imaginations, we're once again calling on our talented community to show off your skills in the annual Beach Buggy Halloween Car Costume Contest! We want to see your most inventive, spooky, silly, and spectacular custom car designs. So head on over to the Body Shop and create something amazing!

THE PRIZES

  • 5 Grand Prize winners will get to pick a driver, driver outfit, car or car kit of their choice (sorry, no Hot Wheels cars) plus a Halloween costume pack.

  • 20 Runners up will earn a Halloween costume pack.

How to enter

Entering the Halloween costume contest is as easy as 1, 2 3:

  1. Decorate your favorite car with whatever paints, decals, accessories and wheels you want, with a “Halloween” theme. Your car can be scary, cute, spooky, cool, funny, however you like it!

  2. Take a screenshot of your creation. You can use the in-game camera/screenshot feature (on the pause menu), or use your device to take a screenshot from the Team or Body Shop screens.

  3. Share it with us on the socials. See below for details.
