Five Nights at Freddy’s – Survive til 6 am
You are the night shift security guard for a Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, and it is your duty to check the security cameras and keep the equipment in good, working order…. and beware the animatronics that activate on their own at night! Each turn you’ll check the cameras and react to the movements in the dark. Choose to turn on the lights or close doors to protect yourself—but watch out! Each reaction depletes your limited power. Keep Freddy and his friends out of your office until you can clock off at 6:00 am! Recommended for 1-2 players, ages 13 and up.
Rear window
Carefully observe strange clues and ominous patterns in the things going on in the apartments across the way. There are parties, knives, a saw, bickering, laughing, music…and a mysterious trunk. Do you detect a murder? Or is the secret, private world of the neighbours planting frightening ideas in your mind? The compelling gameplay brings the movie to life using cooperative deduction and decision-making. Recommended for 3-5 players and ages 13 and up.
Ouija Manor
Work together to interpret otherworldly clues in this cooperative game of supernatural deduction. Piece together the Spirit’s identity by examining the objects they point to around Ouija Manor: a mirror, a doll, the letter V? Then watch closely as the Spirit sends a message using the Ouija Board.
