Haul-O-Ween: A Spooky Push-Your-Luck Halloween Game

Get Your Candy Buckets Ready

It’s Halloween night, and the neighborhood has been invaded by monsters of all shapes and sizes – not to mention ghoulish powers. But that's not going to stop you and your friends from going door to door to grab enough candy to send you straight to the dentist! That is unless Old Man Mortimer has something to say about that.

In Haul-O-Ween, players race through three spooky neighborhoods collecting candy, finding helpful items, dodging monsters, and deciding when to stash their haul before Old Man Mortimer calls your mom and takes your candy.

It’s a fast, family-friendly push-your-luck board game for 4 players that plays in about 30 minutes.

Get Home Safe or Go For Broke?

Each game takes place across a neighborhood grid filled with houses, surprises, candy, and trouble.

On your turn, you’ll move through the neighborhood, reveal new locations, collect candy tokens, and use item cards to help yourself or mess with your friends.

But candy in your bucket is not safe forever.

The longer you stay out, the more you can collect. Wait too long, though, and monsters or Old Man Mortimer may ruin your night before you can stash your haul.

Relive The Best Night of the Year

We're designing a Halloween game that feels like the best parts of trick-or-treating:

Running from house to house, staying out too late, comparing candy hauls, getting a little scared – and maybe partaking in a little bit of devilish mischief.

Haul-O-Ween is designed to be easy to teach, quick to play, and fun for families, casual game nights, and anyone who wants a new spooky-season tradition. Not to mention endlessly re-playable, with a different feel and outcome each time you play.

What Makes It Sweet

Push your luck: Keep collecting candy or head home before things go sour.

A different neighborhood every game: The board is built from tiles, so each playthrough has a new layout with unpredictable outcomes.

Cooperate just enough: Players are all trying to survive Halloween night, but only one trick-or-treater ends with the sweetest haul – and just like your real friends, you might not always be playing nice!

Monsters make trouble: Spooky surprises force players to adapt, bargain, and sometimes laugh at their own bad decisions.

Built for Halloween night: This is a game made to come back to the table every October – or if you like Halloween as much as we do, any night of the year!.

What’s In The Box

Final components are still being locked, but the game is planned to include:

• 20 Unique Monster Cards
• 7 Unique Powerful Item Cards
• 10+ Tricks and Treat Cards
• Candy Tokens
• Player Pawns
• Rules Booklet

We’re currently finishing the polished prototype and preparing the final production files.

Kickstarter Plan

We’re launching Haul-O-Ween on Kickstarter to fund the first production run.

Our goal is to make a polished physical game, produce it with a U.S.-based manufacturer, and fulfill rewards through a third-party fulfillment partner so backers do not have to wait on us packing boxes at the kitchen table.

We’re starting with a U.S.-focused campaign to keep fulfillment simple and reliable, so you can have the game in your hands well before next Halloween.

Follow Along

Haul-O-Ween launches on October 1, 2026 and runs through Halloween night.
