You're dead... and the Halloween Hacker is ready to strike again! 

Luckily, you are/were a detective. You'll need to use your nosey detective skills (and a trusty notepad and pencil at your side) to deduce which costumed partygoer is secretly the Hacker! 

Listen in on conversations to deduce clues on partygoers and interrogate ghosts on the Hacker's traits to solve this mystery but beware as traits are shared among several partygoers...

Traits include: 

  • Costume
  • Occupation (Doctor, Lawyer, Chef, Mechanic, Video Game Developer, Teacher) 
  • Zodiac (6 of the 12 Zodiacs randomized each game)
  • Relationship Status (Single, Complicated, Taken)
