Official Game Rules 

How to Win
  • Be the first player to obtain one of the key cards and safely get to the last room to escape the house.
  • When you enter the last room, you will encounter one of the six monsters (Vampire, Ghost, Demon, Wendigo, Werewolf, or Zombie) by picking one of the final monster cards at random. You will have to kill that monster in order to leave.
  • If you are not able to kill the final monster, go back two spaces and wait your next turn to try again.
Movement
  • You will start in the first room and go in a full circle (clockwise) in order to reach the last room.
  • You move by rolling one die.
  • You are allowed to move both vertically or horizontally in any way within the room. However you cannot move back to a previous room (Why would you want to? You're trying to get out!) unless directed to by the cards or scared off by the monsters.
Cards
  • If you land on a block with bloody hand prints, you will draw 1 card from the deck that contains the following:
    • Monster cards- If you draw one of these, you must flee to the previous room to hide, unless you have a weapon card to kill or ward it away.
    • Weapon Cards- Weapon cards are used to kill or ward off a monster if you draw a monster card. Some weapon cards allow you to hurt other players, but you can only hurt another player if you land on his or her space.
    • Action Cards- The cards allow you to swap cards with other players
    • Monster Mash Cards - Cards to maneuver and utilize “IT”  
    • Key Card - There are total of 4 key cards to help you get out.
  • If you pick a monster card, you must use a weapon card to kill it. If you use the weapon, you must drop it into the discard pile. If you do not have an appropriate weapon, you must retreat to the previous room.
  • If you pick up a weapon, monster mash, action, or key card, you can hold on to them until you are ready to use them.
  • You are only allowed to hold up to 7 cards at a time.
  • If you need a weapon card that you do not have, you can ask for an exchange with another person who is in the same room when you are attacked. They can accept or deny your request.
Monsters
  • If you are killed by one of the small monsters (ex: vampire), you have to move back to the previous room. You are allowed to keep your cards.
  • “IT” will start in the same room as the other players, however “IT” will move counterclockwise instead of clockwise. “IT” can only be moved when a player uses the Monster Mash card.
  • If you are killed by “IT”, you have to drop all your cards back into the discard pile and move back 2 rooms
Tip: When you get the key card, hold on to it and try to grab a weapon card to kill each of the monsters so that you will definitely be able to defeat the final monster. Then get out as quick as you can!
