👻 Sweet & Spooky Ideas
Need inspiration? Here are a few spooky-fun ideas to spark your next build. Pick one or brew your own twist! 👻
🎃 Pumpkin Smash
Smash as many pumpkins as you can before they disappear! A fast, simple game that tests your timing and reaction skills.
🧠 Zombie Typing Test
Type faster than the zombies can reach you! Each correct word keeps them away, but every mistake brings them closer.
🃏 Cursed Memory Match
Flip two cards at a time to find matching spooky symbols. But be quick — the curse resets the cards if you take too long!
😱 Fear Level Meter
Create a fun quiz that measures how scared someone is! Ask spooky questions and calculate a “fear score” at the end.
