Halloween is a time for spooky fun and games. Whether you're hosting a Halloween party or just looking for some festive entertainment, these games are sure to thrill and delight. Here are the top Halloween games that will make your celebration a scream!

 

1. Escape: Ghost Hunt 

 

You've arrived at 13 Thicket Lane, an old Victorian manor on the outskirts of Cincinnati, Ohio. The locals avoid the place, whispering tales of specters and apparitions that are said to haunt its halls.

Unfazed by ghostly rumors, you decide to take on the challenge of investigating the house. You have two missions to choose from.

The first is a spine-tingling, yet more family-friendly journey into the manor, where you’ll uncover the mystery of what happened to the former owners with a little help from the beyond. The spirits of the family will offer clues, but it's up to you to piece together the truth of that fateful night.

The second mission, however, is not for the faint of heart. In the 1970s, the home was converted into a funeral parlor, and some spirits have chosen to linger. Your task will be to escape the wrathful spirits and uncover the secret they’re guarding. The choice is yours!

2. Escape the Farmyard Frights (Virtual Game)

ESCAPE THE FARMYARD FRIGHTS - Plan a family friendly Halloween hoedown

 

It's time for some spooky fun! A local farmer always invites monsters from around the globe to his farm each Halloween night for a Halloween Hoedown!  

Each mythical creature is responsible for part of the arrangements - The vampires carve the most intricate pumpkin designs with their fangs, the witches concoct new and delightful potions and treats, and the werewolf band plays the greatest hits by the light of the moon.  However, this year… nothing is going right.

A baby Bigfoot has lost his family and needs help seeking them out, the lake monster is stuck at the bottom of a well, the aliens can’t figure out the crop circle landing pad in the cornfield, someone has stolen all of the scarecrow’s clothes, and the Chupacabra accidentally let all of the farmyard animals loose while looking for a snack.  Even worse, the neighbors seem to have figured out that there are monsters next door and they might need to be scared away.

This game is a family-friendly adventure, which is perfect for playing along with your kids this fall!

3. Escape the Lost Colony (Virtual Game)

ESCAPE THE LOST COLONY - Investigate Roanoke in this eerie adventure

This virtual escape room experience takes players on a thrilling journey back in time to the mysterious disappearance of the Roanoke Colony.

The Lost Colony of Roanoke remains one of the greatest mysteries in American history. Established in 1587 by English settlers on Roanoke Island, present-day North Carolina, the colony was the second attempt to establish a permanent English settlement in the New World. A year later the governor left to secure supplies and upon his return in 1590, discovered the entire colony had vanished without a trace. 

Your time machine pocket watch has broken, and you have no choice but to search the colony for the missing pieces. The hearths are still warm, and food has been left on the tables, but every person has vanished into thin air.  The only clues as to what happened are locked up and there is an odd message carved into a tree nearby reading “CROATOAN.”  

It is up to you to unravel what happened here and repair your time machine in time.  Spend too long and you might become yet another ghost in the Lost Colony!

4. Escape the Witch Trials 

ESCAPE THE WITCH TRIALS - One town, two time periods, it's a witch hunt.

This is a spellbinding journey back in time to the dark and tumultuous days of the Salem Witch Trials. 

Salem Massachusetts is known for their infamous Witch Trials in 1692.  Hundreds of innocent people were accused of witchcraft and 20 of them were even executed.  While there are many theories as to why this hysteria occurred, from mob mentality to hallucinations, no one believes that witches actually were near Salem…  We have proof that there may have been something to that rumor and we need you to investigate.

Two exciting missions await in this box – one is merry and one is SCARY!

In the first, you will arrive in the present day where there are rumors that a witch has been sighted in town. However, it looks like someone is pretending to be one for their own gain… get the gang together to investigate and see if you can unmask the villain!

In the second mission, you are sent back to 1692 where a young woman has been accused of witchcraft. You will need to gather evidence to prove her innocence…but that may put you in danger from a real witch who has been haunting Salem for months. Can you survive her curses and escape in time?

5. Escape: Night of the Vampire 

ESCAPE NIGHT OF THE VAMPIRE - survive a night with the undead

We have all heard of vampires, but very few of us actually believe in them. Bram Stoker did and he set his famous novel in the very area you are set to explore... for good reason. This area of Romania is known for the whispers of the Strigoi by the locals - troubled entities that rise from their graves to prey on the living.

This is an immersive adventure that plunges players into the heart of a chilling vampire tale. In this captivating escape room experience, you have been tasked with investigating an abandoned castle and searching for the missing agents who have come to this place before you... 

You will first need to investigate the crypts in the surrounding graveyard and then head into the halls of the castle. Search for any signs of the missing agents. Recover and rescue any survivors, but be careful.

The communications we have received from inside tell of creatures with fangs and who only rise at night. If that is the case, you might need to brush up on your vampire-hunting skills before entering the castle in the second half of the game! 

 

 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

My family just finished Escape the Vampire box. It was so much fun. We will definitely be making this a monthly game night.

The hints given reinforce what you have done right in small steps to allow you just enough information to get past the stall... We will definitely continue purchasing these boxes! - Susan Z.

6. Escape: The Roswell Incident

Escape The Roswell Incident - Something is out there, it's a cover-up

Only days after the famous “Roswell Incident” shook the world, another crash was discovered in the desert just miles away. The boss is a bit shaken by the discovery, as this was not supposed to happen in this timeline. When the world finds out about the flying saucer, it will start a panic like we have never seen before.

In this captivating game, you are thrust into the enigmatic world of one of history's most enduring mysteries: the Roswell UFO incident. 

The United States government has contacted you to help “cover-up” the newest crash in this hotbed of UFO activity. You have only a short amount of time to examine the craft, come up with ingenious ways to disguise what happened, and to see if the beings onboard are still alive.

You then have to somehow sneak the saucer to a secret government facility without the press snapping a photograph… Sounds easy, right? However, the closer you get to the aliens on board, the more eerie this escape becomes and you are left to wonder if these beings have really come in peace...
