Make a Halloween game with your friends in costume

The best Halloween game is the one with your own friends in it, in costume, running from something. On Roam you drop the party photo, describe the spooky place, and play it the same night.

Spooky, not just scary

Halloween games range from cute to terrifying. Luigi's Mansion made ghost hunting funny. Phasmophobia made it a co-op investigation. Pick the dial before you describe it: a vacuum and silly ghosts plays very differently from a dark house and one thing that hunts you.

Light is a resource. A flashlight with battery, a candle that blows out. Dark makes everything tense.
Sound gives it away. A creak upstairs is scarier than a monster you can see.
A task under pressure. Clean, fix or find something while the ghost gets closer.

How to make yours from a party photo

Friends who were at the party can join and play together. Anyone offline can play it solo later, and collectibles on the run, like candy or keys, give them a reason to load it twice.

1. Drop the photo. Your friends in costume become the characters: the vampire, the mummy, the ghost.
2. Pick the place. "An abandoned pumpkin farm" or "our school after the Halloween party".
3. Give a goal. "Collect 13 candies and get out before midnight."
4. Choose the threat. "The scarecrow moves when you are not looking."
5. Tune the fear. "Less scary for my little brother" or "darker, one life". Change it by talking.
