In this Halloween party game, players search for hidden cards to solve riddles and uncover code numbers. They work in teams to find the correct CodeBuster and Code cards, revealing a four-digit winning code through a keyhole. Perfect for groups of 2–12 players.

Directions

  1. Hide 24 game cards around your playing area: 8 Scary Movie Character CodeBuster cards, 8 Riddle cards, and 8 Code Cards.
  2. As the host, choose where to place each card and record the hiding spots on the included Key Locator file. This editable file lets you easily type in locations, and there's an optional feature that turns your text into a secret code with a decoder.
  3. Players can either work together as one group or split into two or three teams of 2 to 4 players. For larger groups, print extra copies of all game cards and add more teams.
  4. Give each team a Key Locator and a Players Sheet. The sheet includes brief instructions and spaces to record the 8 numbers they must discover to figure out the four-digit winning code. To find a number, players first need to solve a riddle.
  5. After solving a riddle, players must locate the Scary Movie CodeBuster card that provides the answer to that riddle.
  6. Next, find the Code Card that matches the color of the riddle. Place the CodeBuster card over the Code Card, and through the keyhole, the code number will be revealed.
