Read the full game description
Halloween is an asymmetric hidden-movement game based on the 1978 film. One player controls Michael Myers, tracking his position secretly and appearing only when a victim has line of sight, while the other players search houses for useful items, Tommy and Lindsey, and the keys needed to escape. Victims can also fight back, but every detour gives the Shape more time to stalk isolated targets. Eliminated characters return as other people from the film, keeping the full group involved while the tension builds toward escape or a mounting body count.
