Hide and Shriek

On Halloween night, students from rival magic schools sneak into a school to scare one another. In each ten-minute, one-versus-one match, both players are invisible and compete to score more points before time runs out. Explore the halls and watch for clues to your opponent's movements, such as opening doors, flying objects, or triggered traps. Use spells and traps to reveal or surprise your rival, while avoiding their tricks. Scaring your opponent, luring them into traps, and performing an ancient ritual can earn points. With more than 30 spells to discover, players can try different supernatural effects as they compete for the higher score.

In a ten-minute duel between invisible magic students, set spells and traps, read clues, and scare your rival to score.
