About the game

Horrified is a cooperative game where 1-5 players team up against the classic Universal movie monsters - Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, the Mummy, and more - working together across the town to defeat each fiend before the Terror track runs out. Each monster requires a different strategy, and the shared board of locations demands careful coordination of movement, items, and actions. High-quality sculpted miniatures bring the iconic monsters vividly to the tabletop.

Hobbli's Notes

Horrified nails the sweet spot of an accessible, family-friendly cooperative game with genuine thematic bite thanks to the classic monster license. The variable strategies needed for each monster (and the ability to mix multiple monsters for a bigger challenge) give it strong replay value.

What we like

  • Beloved Universal monster license with quality miniatures.
  • Each monster demands a distinct strategy.
  • Approachable rules suitable for the whole family.
  • Scales well from solo to five players.

Keep in mind

  • Can feel easy once players learn optimal monster strategies.
  • Cooperative "quarterbacking" by experienced players is possible.
  • Limited to the included monster roster without expansions.

Who it's for

Great for ages 10+, families and horror-movie fans, in groups of 1-5 who enjoy cooperative play.
