A Campy Halloween One-Shot for 2–6 Players + Keeper

The candle is lit.

The witches have returned.

Can you stop them before the sun rises?

Three hundred years ago, the Andersen Sisters were accused of stealing children and performing dark rituals. The townsfolk dragged them to the bonfire and burned them alive.

That should have been the end of it.

But this Halloween night, a teen lights the Infinite Candle inside the old Andersen House—and the sisters rise again, fiery and furious, determined to stay alive forever.

Now it’s up to you to stop them before sunrise.

If you succeed, you’ll save the town—and every kid in it.

If you fail, the witches will rule forever.

Grab your friends, your flashlights, and your courage. This Halloween, it’s time to Be Witched!
