HALLOWEEN ARCADE · A LITTLE HAUNTING STRATEGY

You Are the Haunted House

☾ THE HOUSE IS AWAKE ☾

Front door · Investigators enter and leave through the foyer

YOUR WILL, YOUR WALLS

One action = one beat. Recover 1 energy after a power, or 3 after waiting. Nobody moves until you act.

The investigators

The house remembers…

Rooms 1–4 · Q lights · W furniture · E doors · R whisper · Space wait · P pause. Every button also works with Tab and Enter.

You are the house.

Send every investigator home before dawn or before they gather enough evidence. Each action advances one beat. Fright reaching a visitor’s threshold makes them flee through the foyer; they can always escape safely.

Flicker lights (1 energy): +1 fright to visitors here and primes this room for stronger furniture scares for the next two beats.
Possess furniture (2): +3 fright here, or +5 in a room with flickering lights.
Slam doors (2): +2 fright here and delays investigating visitors this beat and the next.
Whisper (1): attracts investigators toward this room for three beats.
Wait (0): restores 3 energy. Other actions restore 1. Maximum energy is 6.

Visitors pause after being frightened, giving you time to combine powers. Repeating the same scare against a visitor loses 2 fright. Quiet rooms slowly calm them. Every two unfrightened investigation beats adds evidence. Check where they are before acting!

Three nights unlock in order. No real-time countdown, gore or sudden loud scares.

The house is resting.

Your night will wait for you.

Restart this night?

Unlocked nights stay unlocked.
