Scream Park

About the game

What is Scream Park?

Halloween season is nigh, and you have to get your 'haunt' ready for customers to be properly terrified on opening weekend. Your boss Rickole is looking to each of you to make the perfect scary entertainment attraction, but you only have the sets, costumes, effects and more from last year to pass around. Can you piece together a thematic and properly dreadful haunted house? Or will you disappoint the visiting VIPs and your horror-loving fans? On a turn, draft two cards from a hand to use in your layout, building the experience from left to right. Either add new rooms, or 'scenes', that bolster your theme, or merge them together to bolster previous ones with the use of add-ons like costumes, special effects, and decor. Use your staff to finish your creation, or to rearrange your haunt and perfect the crescendo of fear. Keep in mind your theme, the needs of your scenes, and the VIPs that will visit on the first, second, or third rounds of Opening Weekend, with each randomly seeking different elements to approve of. An accessible and smooth drafting game that inspires strategy and storytelling within the first few moves, Scream Park offers a beautiful design in an easy-to-travel format that has vast replayability with 100+ unique cards. —description from the publisher
