Trick Or Treat Studios Halloween 1978 Hidden Movement Board Game, 1 vs Many Horror Strategy Game, 2-4 Players Ages 14+

THE NIGHT HE CAME HOME — IN GAME FORM

Halloween: A Hidden Movement Game from Trick Or Treat Studios captures the chilling suspense of John Carpenter’s 1978 horror classic. In this 1 vs many board game, you can become the relentless Michael Myers, or band together as the teens trying to survive the night.

HOW TO PLAY

Michael Myers (1 player): Move secretly across the board using a dry-erase map. Stay hidden until you can strike — victims only see you when they're looking at you.

The Teens (1–3 players): Search the houses for the children (Tommy & Lindsey) and a set of car keys. Use your two actions wisely: move, search, climb windows, or attack if the situation allows.

Victory Conditions:

• The Teens win by rescuing the children and escaping in the car, or damaging Michael enough.
• Michael wins by eliminating enough victims or preventing their escape over time.

KEY FEATURES

• Designed by Emerson Matsuuchi (of Specter Ops fame) for high tension and asymmetrical challenge.
• Hidden movement + line-of-sight mechanics that keep every moment suspenseful.
• Variable game length depending on player count—keeping sessions tight and intense.
• Thematic details: item decks, character abilities, events, and more bring the film’s atmosphere alive.

WHAT’S INCLUDED
