The invitation arrived without a sender. Elegant handwriting looped across stained yellowed parchment: “Come to Midnight Manor for a night you won’t forget. All will be revealed by dawn. RSVP not required."

Curiosity or perhaps something darker, drew five guests to the decrepit estate. An estate, shrouded in a thick mist wafting over the darkened shore, nestled into the edge of a forgotten forest. Each step toward the entrance felt heavier, as though invisible hands urged them back. But the heavy door swung open on its own, revealing a grand hallway lined with faded portraits, their painted eyes focused on the new arrivals, the air carrying scents of decaying wood, wet stone, and an oncoming storm.

A grandfather clock strikes twelve times, its chime reverberating like a tolling bell. “Welcome,” a voice rasped, though no one stood to greet them. The guests huddle closer, lanterns flickering in the cold draft. As they cross into the parlor, the violence of a loud crash echoes behind them, a chandelier lies shattered, and a heavy door slams shut with finality. Trapped, like insects in amber, suspended between life and death. Panic claws into their minds, and as the weight of stillness settles in, it dawns the house itself has drawn you all into its web

From the corners of the room, a black fog oozes into existence, winding itself around the furniture. In the gloom, a figure smiles, not a guest among them, but something far worse. An old book lay open on the mantel, pages scrawled with strange runes. On the final page, a warning in blood-curdling frantic hand: "Survive until dawn, and the house will release you. Fail, and join us for the house keeps what it claims.”

The guests exchange nervous glances. Now the game begins...

Pierce through the darkness of your dusty shelves, unravel some plastic and choose a game, perhaps one of these, each promising a night teetering on the edge of sanity and survival:

Betrayal at House on the Hill - Venture into a creaky, haunted mansion, where every game feels different as you explore rooms and unlock eerie secrets. But beware—one of you will soon betray the rest. The game shifts halfway, revealing a traitor among your group, and suddenly, survival becomes a matter of life and death. Will you escape the horrors of the house, or will you join its ghostly residents? With its modular board and dozens of possible scenarios, no two visits to the house are ever the same, keeping players on edge from start to finish?

Arkham Horror - Enter the cursed town of Arkham, where ancient, otherworldly beings stir in the shadows. This sprawling, cooperative board game draws you and your fellow investigators into an epic battle against the encroaching madness. Explore eerie locations, gather clues, and close dimensional gates before terrifying creatures overwhelm the town. With each turn, the doom clock ticks down, pushing you closer to a cosmic horror beyond comprehension. Every encounter is unpredictable, and every failed roll brings your fate closer to oblivion. Will you save Arkham from its doom or be swallowed by the darkness?

Abomination: The Heir of Frankenstein - In this macabre game set in 19th-century Paris, players assume the role of scientists obsessed with stitching together life from the dead. Build your creature before your rivals by harvesting grisly resources, either legally or through darker means. But be careful every step toward creation takes a toll on your humanity. As time slips away, you’ll have to make hard choices: pursue science, morality, or ambition. Will your experiment succeed, or will it become another monstrosity haunting the streets of Paris?

Fury of Dracula - A tense, cat-and-mouse hunt through the darkened streets of Victorian Europe, where one player takes the role of Dracula, attempting to outwit the vampire hunters who pursue him. The hunters must coordinate their efforts and track the Count before his influence spreads and plunges the world into eternal night. Meanwhile, Dracula moves in secret, setting traps, creating minions, and spreading terror across the land. The gothic horror is palpable in every moment, as both sides teeter on the brink of triumph or ruin—one misstep could spell victory for the vampire or the end of humanity’s last hope.
