About the Game

Hyde's Haunt & Seek is a spooky party game where you hunt ghosts...who happen to be your friends! Play as the mortal Seeker to fend off their poltergeist pranks, or team up as Ghosts to launch silly jump scares. It’s family-friendly multiplayer mayhem, all in the “spirit” of fun!

An asymmetrical hide-and-seek-like, one mortal Seeker (first person POV) takes on a team of up to 3 ghosts (top down POV).

MORTAL SEEKER:

Survive the dark rooms of Hyde Manor by seeking out and eliminating Ghosts:

  • Light ‘em up with your Spectral Flashlight

  • Blast ‘em using your Pulse Beam

  • Block poltergeist pranks using the Night Stick

GHOSTS:

Spook the Mortal Seeker, but don’t get caught!

  • Possess furniture to hide

  • Levitate objects to cause a little scare

  • Trigger bigger jump scares to frighten them and feed off their fear

Each round is played chamber to chamber, culminating in the final showdown:

BEWARE THE HAUNT

It’s Seeker vs. Ghosts in a single room to settle the score:

  • Ghosts perform a summoning ritual to bring about their monstrous Haunt persona

  • The Seeker needs to eliminate them before the ritual is complete

  • Will the Seeker escape with the keepsake? Or will the Ghosts scare them to “death”?

Features:

A Sandbox of Scares 

  • Ghosts create the haunted house with a variety of spooky antics and bespoke pranks in every room.

  • From a crocodile launching out of a toilet to a skeleton popping out of the closet, the Seeker never knows what’s coming for them!

Spooky Fun for Everyone 

  • Both co-op and lightly competitive

  • Non-violent gameplay (no gore or killing here!)

  • Perfect for family friendly game nights

A Mystery to Unfold

  • Recruited by the Docent of Hyde Manor, the Seeker ventures inside to gather the Ghost’s collectible keepsakes

  • By performing seances with those keepsakes, the Seeker learns more about their unfinished business and why they’re trapped in Hyde Manor…forever.
