Here’s another fun Halloween-related game: Witch It!, a sort of hide-and-seek between witches and hunters.
This little game starts with random team assignments. You’ll either be a witch or a hunter. The witches get 30 seconds to hide somewhere on the map before the hunters are let loose.
There are many different abilities and defenses you can set, but by default, witches get to shape-shift into an object they can see in front of them. So they hide by literally becoming part of the environment. Below, I’ve become a cute little edible gnome house. You can tell what you’re shapeshifted as by looking at the text in the top left corner of the screen:
The hunters find witches by throwing potatoes at everything, until something flashes purple and cries out in pain. The hunters also get a range of abilities, but the potato is your main attack. I personally like the chicken, which alerts you when there’s a witch nearby.
Once you’ve damaged a witch enough, they lose. If all the witches are destroyed, the hunters win the match. But if they can’t find them all, then the witches win. Here’s me winning a match as a tiny broccoli resting at the base of a giant beanstalk:
The below screenshot shows another easy win. I shape-shifted into a “doge firework” and hid on top of a tower next to the map border. No one even came close to me all match long!
You earn all sorts of different outfits and appearances, which you can use to dress up your witch or hunter. Here’s my current witch:
Here’s another one of me hiding as a red candle pressed up against a wall in a stairwell. I didn’t last long in this match; not enough stuff around me to blend in!
My only complaint about this game is that it’s online multiplayer, so you need to play with other people. As much fun as it is, it doesn’t have a very large following, so there’s usually only a few matches going at any given time, and I usually just jump into the largest group I can find.
But if you get a bunch of your friends into this game, you can set up your own private match and play whenever!
