Staying in on Halloween has always been kind of lame, but those days are over now. To make Halloween 2019 your most questionable, gather whatever friends and spirits wander your grounds and play this game at your own risk. Add up your precious points and secure your place as the spookiest of them all, but remember, holiday mix-ups will cost you! Stay in the spirit and win big. Slip up and lose everything. Start wherever and choose your actions freely, but if you get a “JUMP,” your next move must be from the category of the same number. There’s no end to this game, so stop and tally up whenever you want, or ignore the points and continue for eternity. This list can alternately be used as a personal checklist.
