About Haunting Hijinx
Haunting Hijinx is a spiritual successor to a classic minigame where one player is a ghost and up to four players are ghost hunters.
Haunt a Spooky Mansion
Concealed by shadow, you will seek to outwit the ghost hunters and make them faint. A single touch is all it takes, but beware their searing lights! You must be clever if you are to catch the fiends off guard.- Your goal is to make all the hunters faint by grabbing them.
- You are invisible by default.
- Sprint to gain a helpful speed boost at the expense of being visible.
- Charge your summon meter to summon a drain area under each hunter. Any hunter that doesn't quickly get away will be defenseless as their battery gets drained.
- The hunters' flashlight beams will briefly stun you, make you visible, and deal significant damage.
Join Forces to Corner the Ghost
Each armed with a flashlight, you and your friends will delve into the darkness to hunt down the ghost. Even though you can't see the ghost in the dark, you can sense when it draws near. Stay together; you will not survive alone for long.- Your goal is to kill the ghost by shining your flashlight on it.
- Your flashlight has limited battery life. You will need to pick up new batteries over time to keep the ghost at bay.
- You will be alerted when the ghost is nearby, though you should be wary of tricks it may play to keep you on edge.
- Teamwork is essential. The ghost can easily outmaneuver a lone hunter but will struggle against a coordinated group.
- You will faint if the ghost touches you.
- Shine your flashlight on a downed hunter for a few moments to revive them. In the meantime, take care that you aren't vulnerable to being grabbed yourself!

I love playing this game with friends. It's really easy to set up too! The new maps are charming and the game plays like the nintendo land mini-game I used to play as a kid. Getting to revisit the same energy high nostalgia with grown up friends is awesome. I recommend this game for a good jolt of adrenaline.1 found this helpful
[quote] [b]Note: Alive multiplayer game[/b] This game contains meaningful single player content. There's are players, populated servers. This multiplayer-only game can be played as intended. [/quote] This is a simple multiplayer asymmetrical PvP game. Set in a haunted house, one player plays the stealthy ghost bad guy, and the other 4 need to use teamwork to pin down the ghost player with flashlights and so on. On paper this looks like a great idea for a game... if you've played a lot of video games before and are aware of the kinds of games on PC that people actually play. Don't get me wrong, Dead by Daylight did okay, but remember the other rules about PvP as a substitute for content... showing up to the interview without wearing a shirt, you better have some damn good pants. So, "Haunting Hijinx" is a thriving multiplayer game. Why did it succeed? It's video game analysis time! The chief cause of success is the developer knowing that their game will "go viral" and actually creating a reason for it do so. Competition amongst multiplayer centric games is extreme, and there's only a finite player base to appeal to. This game succeeded to reach a kind of critical mass and thriv…1 found this helpful
A simple and fun party game to play with friends! The game does a great job at making the hunters work together, and a good ghost player can really spook you! I can't wait to see what updates they have on the way!1 found this helpful
