About this quiz
This halloween trivia quiz climbs from easy warm-up questions to real tests for experts. Expect questions on the origins of Halloween, classic monsters, family films, candy, pumpkins and folklore.
Play it alone to see how high you get, or use it as a group game. Each level has several questions, a wrong answer sends you back to your last camp, and two jokers help when you are stuck. Questions come in a different order every time.
What the questions cover
The early levels ask about costumes, pumpkins and candy. Higher levels cover the Celtic festival Samhain, how trick-or-treating developed, classic horror stories and the folklore behind bats, black cats and witches.
The quiz keeps the tone spooky but family friendly, with no gore.
How to play
Play it at a party: pick a level together and see who knows the history behind the costumes.
