Short answers about Victoria’s Night of Frights, a free Halloween trivia game for teams in the office and on video calls.
Is Night of Frights free? Do players need to sign up?
Yes, it’s free, with no account and no download. Only the host opens the website. Players just watch the shared screen and answer out loud.
How many people can play?
The game is built for 2 to 4 teams. It works best with about 6 to 20 players: with more people, make the teams bigger rather than adding more of them.
How long does a game take?
About an hour. A full board of 50 questions takes longer, but you don’t need to open every cell: the host can move on to the next round at any time. The host guide has a one-hour timeline.
Can remote coworkers play?
Yes. Share the game in Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet with computer sound turned on, and put remote players on teams with people in the room. See Halloween games for remote and hybrid teams.
Do players need their phones?
No. Everything happens on one screen. Teams only need paper and a pen for the final round.
What do I need to run it?
A computer with Chrome or Edge, a big screen or projector and speakers. A presentation clicker is handy but optional.
Is there a narrator? Can I turn the sound off?
A spooky narrator reads every question, answer and announcement. You can turn the voice or the sound effects off at any time with the buttons above the board.
Can I change the questions?
Yes. Open Edit questions on the start screen to change any question, answer or explanation. Your changes are saved in the browser on that computer.
What happens if the browser closes in the middle of a game?
The game saves its progress in the browser. Open the site again on the same computer and continue where you left off.
Is it appropriate for work and for kids?
Yes. The questions are about monsters, movies, candy, animals and traditions, with nothing gory. A few questions mention horror films by name, so it suits adults and older kids best.
Can I see all the questions before playing?
Yes, all 50 questions and answers are on the Halloween trivia questions page. You can also print them for a quiz without a screen.
Which browser works best?
Chrome or Microsoft Edge on a laptop or desktop computer. Other modern browsers should work too.
Who made the game?
Victoria’s Night of Frights was designed and written by Victoria for an office Halloween party, then shared free for anyone to use.
