Turn the lights off this Halloween. A free ten minute crypt to warm up, and a whole haunted house for grown ups who want a real scare.
The Skeleton’s Curse is a free online escape room you can play right now. No account and no download.
You wake up in Lord Vane’s crypt with one candle, ten minutes and a skeleton on a throne who wants something back. Light the lantern to read what is scratched into the walls, throw a rock through a mirror and pick a lock before the candle burns out. It is the perfect Halloween warm up, and the clock means it gets loud when there are a few of you round the screen.
Silent Night is our horror escape room for grown ups. Three acts, a whole house to search and a story that gets darker the further in you go.
Holloway House has been empty since the night six year old Ada went to hide and was never found. You let yourself in, the door locks behind you and the grandfather clock is stuck at ten to twelve. Search by candle light, out into the snow and down into the old ice house to find out what really happened to her. It has jump scares, so play it with the lights off and headphones on.
Everything you need is a screen and a few brave friends.
Draw the curtains, switch off the big light and turn the sound up. The games are built to be played in the dark.
One person holds the mouse or tablet, everyone else shouts ideas. Swap drivers between rooms.
Play The Skeleton’s Curse in teams and see who escapes fastest. Your best time is saved for a rematch.
Share your screen on a video call and solve it together, wherever everyone is this Halloween.
