Trick-or-treat a suburban street with up to three friends. Loot the houses, haul the candy home in a shared wagon, and bank it before the night's quota catches up with you. Something out there is hunting you. Mostly it's a hot dog.
It's Halloween. You have a wagon and a quota.
Knock on doors. Take everything. Sixty-odd houses across seven or eight roads, a different street every level, and every one of them has cupboards, drawers, sofas to look under and something you were not expecting behind the door.
Fill the wagon, drag it back to Mummy's, and tip it into the grave in the garage. That is the job.
Candy you are carrying is worth nothing. Candy you have banked is worth everything.
Nobody is watching your back
Split up and you cover more doors. Split up and nobody sees what happens to you. The candy is a team pot and the wagon belongs to all of you, which means the worst thing that can happen to a run is one person making one confident decision at the top of a hill.
They can hear you
Voice is proximity-based. Shouting down a street to find a friend works, and it is also how you tell a hunter exactly where you are.
The houses fight back
Every front door is a coin flip. Twelve chance events, with names like Aura Farming, Phantom Tax and Bounty Hunter's Hex. One of them turns you into a pumpkin.
Spend it on something stupid
A mummy runs a market stall at the crossroads. Flashlights, a riot shield, a bat, three guns, a flare gun, an RC remote, and black magic: a flying saucer that hoovers the road clean.
Then the warehouses
Find the right key, survive five waves, and watch the building burst like a piñata. Survive all seven quotas and something comes through the portal in the west field.
Something is hunting the street
Most of the night is quiet. Then the lights go out, and one of four things is out there with you. They hunt by heat: sprinting, shouting, torches and slammed doors all make you the most interesting person on the block.
Glizzy
Ten feet of hot dog. He cannot fit through a door, and he knows it, so he brought a gun.
The Phantom
Takes your body and buries it somewhere else on the block. Your friends get one gravestone out of hundreds, and a shovel.
Jackie
Stands you in a stranger's yard as a lit jack-o-lantern among all the others. Only your own colour gives you away.
Witchie
Does not chase anybody. She casts once, disappears, and leaves a dozen monsters and one enormous thing that explodes.
Usually it is one of them. Sometimes it is two. Very rarely it is all four at once, and that is a story you will be telling for a while.
