Spookies

About this board game

Spookies is a 2015 board game for 2–5 players, designed for a play time of around 30 minutes. Under the light of a full moon, four brave friends and their dog enter a haunted house to discover who dares to climb the highest.

The game centers on risk and reward. Players use dice maneuvers to decide how boldly they will advance through the haunted house. Taking a safer approach may help protect your progress, while a riskier choice could move you farther away from victory.

Every turn presents a simple but meaningful question: how much are you willing to risk in pursuit of more Spookies? Players determine their own level of daring as they try to climb higher and collect as many of the game’s valuable Spookies as possible.

• For 2–5 players
• Approximately 30 minutes of play
• A haunted-house setting beneath a full moon
• Dice maneuvers that let players choose their level of risk
• A goal of climbing high and collecting Spookies

The haunted setting gives each decision an adventurous edge, while the dice create the possibility that an ambitious move may not pay off. Push too far, and victory can slip away; hold back, and another player may claim the lead.

With its clear objective and focus on individual risk choices, Spookies turns a climb through a frightening house into a tense contest of courage. Whether you play cautiously or dare to reach for the highest levels, every decision matters on the mission to collect more Spookies.
