For kids, there are Horrible Happenings in the Haunted House. A fancy dress party is being held by Horrorwood Studios to celebrate the success of their latest film 'Hal O'Ween and the Deadly Shrunken Head'. Owner of Horrorwood Studios, Hal O'Ween, has invited many of the actors, actresses and employees involved in the making of the film. Join them for an evening of fright and horror, some of it intentional, some of it not.

Also for kids is The Mystery of the Vanishing Vampire. To celebrate the opening of the scary new theme park, Vampireland in Transylvania, the guests have been chosen by Jack Ular, the owner of Castle Alucard and Vampireland, to take a frightening challenge. Their challenge, if they choose to accept, is to spend a night in one of the rooms in the haunted West Wing of Castle Alucard in Vampireland.
If they successfully complete the challenge, and survive the night, they will each win a prize and will be awarded a Vampireland Medal of Bravery.
This spooky mystery game for 10 to 14 players aged 8 to 12 is set in present day Transylvania.

For older children and teens there's A Devilish Masquerade. By now the whole town has heard that Monty Argent, teen-aged son and heir of ridiculously wealthy Pierce Argent, is inviting kids who are, or pretend to be, his friends to an over-the-top Halloween costume party at the Argent's fabulous estate. This will certainly be the social highlight of the spooky season for all of the town's residents aged anywhere from 13 to 19: invitations are essentially tickets to popularity. As the party is under way, the scary special effects become truly terrifying, however, when their wealthy host is suddenly swallowed up, literally, by the giant devil-head set up as the "Mouth of Hell"! Was this a simple accident, a prank gone wrong, or perhaps attempted murder?
This non-murder mystery game for at least 5 teens, ages 12 to 19, is rated T. A great choice as a Halloween Party for teens, it can be expanded to include an unlimited number of characters. A brief appearance by an adult hostess is built into the game to help set the scene. Follow this link, A Devilish Masquerade, for more information about this party, or this link, List of Characters in A Devilish Masquerade, for character information.
