About Hide and Shriek

✦ AI summary

Play as an invisible prankster in 10-minute one-versus-one matches where you hunt your equally invisible opponent using cunning traps, over 30 spells, and well-timed scares to rack up the most points. What sets it apart is the unique invisible-versus-invisible gameplay that forces you to detect opponents through environmental clues while customizing your scare tactics with wild masks and effects.

It`s Halloween and the students of magic at Little Springs High and Innsmouth Academy are about to honor an ancient tradition: sneaking into school after midnight, turning themselves invisible, and scaring the living hell out of each other!

Hide and Shriek™ is a one vs. one multiplayer romp played out in ten minute matches. Your objective is simple: be a mischievous little rascal and scare your opponent half to death before time runs out! If there is no clear winner when the timer stops, the player with the most points wins the game. Points can be acquired by scaring your opponent, luring them into traps, or performing an ancient ritual.

There is just one catch: you are both invisible!

You will need to use cunning traps and potent spells to reveal your opponent. Once you spot them, sneak up on them and give them a good scare! Just remember they are looking for you too, and if you`re not careful you might be the one jumping in your seat!
  • Play with friends or strangers in ten-minute one vs. one multiplayer matches!
  • You are both invisible! You will need all your cunning to spot your opponent: look for doors opening, objects flying in midair, or traps being sprung!
  • Over thirty different spells to discover, each with their own impish effect: blind your opponent, booby-trap doors, unleash a demon upon them, and much more!
  • Shriek at your opponent to scare them! Use scary masks of famous characters like Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, or use skulls and zombie heads that can be modified with accessories like gooey eyeballs, bloody hatchets, and much more!
  • Dominate the leaderboards or get scared trying!

It is a fun 5-20 minutes if you want to kill some time with a friend. Would be awesome if there were bigger maps for more people at once.
