For last years challenge please refer to: > [@Halloween Gaming Challenge 2022! jack\_o\_lantern](https://discuss.grouvee.com/t/halloween-gaming-challenge-2022/10078): > > jack_o_lanternbatskull Halloween Gaming Challenge! jack_o_lanternbatskull I follow closely a group on GoodReads called ā€œHorror Aficionadosā€. They are doing a really fun challenge this year in which people choose a number of books to read for Halloween in link with different categories related to Halloween. I want to do the same for video games! For this first edition of the Halloween Gaming Challenge, to give everyone ample time, and to enjoy Halloween as long as possible, this yeaā€¦ Seeing as how autumn is soon upon us (good portion I would assume), I figure it would be a good idea to keep this challenge going as it seems to be a favorite among many. In terms of ā€œrulesā€, I donā€™t see anything wrong with keeping it how it went last year but of course, @Juansero29, can elaborate as well on that. All are welcome to participate and collaborate on ideas. Same as last year, this challenge will officially began on the **1st of September and run until the 1st of November**. I plan on using the same format I used last year if we are sticking to the same criteria found throughout the many games we will play and if anyone would like to follow suit with the same table, I will post mine below. | Title | Year | Console/ Format | Bat | Cat | Ghost/ Haunting | Graveyard | Jack-oā€™-lantern/ Pumpkin | Monster | Scarecrow | Killer/ Murder | Tricks/ Treats | Vampire | Werewolf | Witch | Zombie | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | Happy almost Halloween everyone. I look forward to going through this with new and old members alike. ---

I agreed with a friend to play some PS2 survival horror games starting in September, actually. Iā€™m not sure how well the games will fit with the categories for this challenge, but maybe I can make it work. (Thereā€™s usually a killer at least? lol) ---

Great idea, I might tick some boxes with one game, but I doubt I will tick any with Starfield except there is a pumpkin planet to discover. šŸ˜ƒ Fall is my favorite season and I love Halloween!

Iā€™m not sure if it fits any of the categories too, but I am installing _My Friendly Neighborhood_ after a colleagues recommendation. Sounds like it will be a fun time. They have already started opening up _Spirit Halloweens_ near me and rolled out pumpkin spice everything so I consider those to be good signs that the fall season has started. ---

This sounds like fun and it will give me the opportunity to play a game thatā€™s been on my backlog for a long time: MediEvil for the PS1ā€¦ I guess I will say it fits the graveyard category lol. ---

Oh, this is good. Iā€™d been wondering if it would return and have the same categories, because Iā€™d been saving a few and thinking of what Iā€™d use for each one So I can start September 1st ---

As it is currently the 1st, I have been playing _My Friendly Neighborhood_, currently on track to getting the best ending with my first and likely only playthrough as I have a growing backlog all of a sudden. I have been dealing with a gnarly stye currently, which makes it a bit cumbersome to game currently, but as it is currently draining now (disgusting, I know), I imagine I will be able to finish this game by this afternoon after work. I am digging it so far and for what you can classify as a mascot horror game, it is one of the better ones it seems (although I havenā€™t delved into any other ones firsthand). ---

Will start my Halloween Gaming Fun Times with a strange and unusual PS2 game called Gregory Horror Show. The first character you meet is Gregory, the rat who runs the hotel ā€“ but sadly rat is not one of the challenge categories. šŸ€ Rats! The next character you meet is Neko Zombie though, an imprisoned stitched-up cat. That sounds like a twofer! šŸ§Ÿ šŸˆā€ā¬› ---

We can always make rats a category, as I find it relevant to the season. Consider it counted. ---

No, no thatā€™s Garfield Citizen, but itā€™s still in early Alpha or something and you only get a cat if you buy a very expensive starship with catnip and lasagna as cargo. šŸ˜‚ ---
