Hide and Shriek

Hide and Shriek is a one-versus-one multiplayer game set on Halloween. Students of magic from Little Springs High and Innsmouth Academy sneak into school after midnight, turn invisible and try to scare each other in ten-minute matches. You win by frightening your opponent before time runs out; if neither player is ahead when the timer ends, the player with the most points wins.

Find your opponent

Both players are invisible, so you use traps and spells to reveal your opponent before sneaking up to scare them. You can also watch for signs of their presence, such as opening doors, objects flying through the air or traps being sprung. Your opponent is searching for you too.

Spells and scares

You can score points by scaring your opponent, luring them into traps or performing an ancient ritual. The game has over 30 spells, each with its own effect: you can blind your opponent, booby-trap doors or unleash a demon, among other options. To scare them, you shriek while wearing masks of famous characters such as Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, or use skulls and zombie heads with accessories including gooey eyeballs and bloody hatchets.
