Scare them – safely

AUCKLAND, Today: There are monsters to be found at home this Halloween, thanks to a new, free game – Everyday Horrors – from NZ game & creative tech studio, Method.

“It’s suitable for the whole whānau to play together,” says Method founder Sam Ramlu.

“The game reveals everyday household items as hiding spots for a selection of monsters, hiding out for Halloween – this Sunday,” the businesswoman says.

“Our designers, engineers and creatives built the game over lockdown as a way for kids to combat the scaries, safely from the comfort of their home this Halloween.”

“In a post Covid-19 world, many parents are understandably cautious this year about the exposure to germs that traditional Halloween fun, like door knocking and trick-or-treating, carries as a risk.

“That’s all changed, thanks to a new, web-based AR game we’ve launched just in time for Halloween.

“The team of designers, engineers and creatives came up with and built the game over New Zealand’s Covid-19 lockdown as a way for kids to combat the scaries, safely from the comfort of their home this Halloween.

“As a mother to a six-year old boy, I know first-hand how Halloween is a time of stories, surprises, curiosity and imagination.”
