Two kids, one haunted theatre, gates that need both.
Free on iPhone in the Roam app. Android coming soon.
Play free nowThe screen splits in two: one kid on the left, one on the right, both stuck in a haunted theatre with a ghost drifting through. Split Scare is a puzzle adventure in the Roam app on iPhone, and it plays like games like Fireboy and Watergirl where two characters have to help each other through. Stand one kid on a pressure plate and the other kid's gate opens. Swap, move the second kid forward, and repeat across 13 levels.
Two kids, one pair of thumbs
- Move the active kid with the joystick.
- Tap the swap button to switch to the other kid.
- Stand on a plate to open your partner's gate.
- Use the hand button to interact with things in the theatre.
- Get both kids through to finish the level.
What makes it a puzzle
- Split screen that shows both kids at the same time.
- Pressure plates and gates that link the two halves.
- A haunted theatre with warm-lit rooms, props and a ghost.
- 13 levels to work through, starting at 1/13.
Games like Fireboy and Watergirl for one player
Fireboy and Watergirl is the classic two-character puzzle: each one can do something the other cannot, and you only win together. Split Scare uses the same idea of linked progress. Here the link is plates and gates. One kid holds a door open while the other moves through.
The difference is that you control both. One tap swaps between them, so you can solve it alone at your own pace. That is exactly what many people look for when they search for a version for one player.
Tips for the haunted theatre
Before moving, look at both halves of the screen. The plate you need is often on the other kid's side. Move one kid all the way to a plate, swap, then go. Moving both a little at a time gets confusing fast.
If a level feels stuck, check the hand button. Some doors and props need an interaction, not just a plate.
The ghost is part of the mood more than a threat to rush you, so take a second to plan each room.
