About this game

Horrified: American Monsters trades Universal's classic movie monsters for homegrown legends: Bigfoot crashing through the woods, Mothman circling overhead, the Jersey Devil, Chupacabra, a Badlands banshee and the Ozark Howler, all ready to ruin your town's night. You and your fellow investigators split up, gather the right items and use each character's unique ability to figure out how to send each cryptid packing, and the more monsters you add, the tighter the puzzle gets. It plays like a friendly but genuinely tense escape room, full of pick-up-and-deliver runs across the map and dice that can go either way. Beloved for good reason, and this American folklore cast is just as much fun to defeat.
