A round, in costume

The Halloween Bundle

Four Halloween packs, one for each way to play: Bad Cards, Bad Questions, Bad Texts and Bad Memes. Costume disasters, haunted houses, candy crimes and the neighbor who goes way too far. Bring a friend and it is $3.99 for you both, or $4.99 just for you. Free with Bad Cards+.

Dafuq Halloween, free if you break the curse

Start a game with a Halloween pack in it and everyone at the table catches the Halloween Curse, with a cursed mark the whole table can see. Pass it on to three players who have not caught it yet and it breaks. Adults who break it get Dafuq Halloween free. The curse ends on November 1.

• Dafuq Halloween60 cardsSixty spooky questions about the judge, and everyone writes their own answer.

Horror packs for any night of the year

• Horror Movie Pack131 cardsCursed dolls, haunted mansions and slashers with issues.
• Undead Pack100 cardsZombie apocalypses, corpses doing Thriller and pool noodle decapitations.
• Stranger Things Parody Pack289 cardsAn unofficial parody. Eleven, Hopper and the Mind Flayer, dragged out of the Upside Down.

Mix several packs into one game. The host picks them in the lobby before the first round.

Setting it up

1. Start a game at bad.cards, or start Bad Cards in a Discord voice channel.
2. Pick Bad Cards as the game and add the Halloween packs.
3. Set the content rating for the room.
4. Share the code and deal.

Everyone plays on their own phone, so it works in a dark living room full of people in masks. Three to sixteen players fit in one game.

How scary does it get?

As scary, or as filthy, as the host allows. Cards are rated from G to NC-17, and the host sets the ceiling before the first round. Keep it PG-13 for the office costume contest and turn it up once the trick-or-treaters have gone home. Players under 18 only get cards rated PG-13 or lower.
