Halloween games for kids and families

These Halloween games are chosen for kids and for grown-ups who want something safe to hand over. They are silly and spooky, never gory, and they run in a browser on a phone, tablet or computer with nothing to install.

Pumpkin Smash is the easiest place to begin. Tap the glowing pumpkins before they sink, chain hits for combos, go for the golden ones, and avoid the skull pumpkins. A round takes about a minute, which is perfect for a quick turn.

Candy Run is a trick-or-treat dash. Swipe left or right to change lanes, swipe up to jump over bats, grab candy and steer around tombstones and pumpkins. Ghost Grabber suits slightly older kids: sweep the flashlight over friendly-looking ghosts to trap them before they get close.

OPPS also has a Kids Mode that a grown-up can lock with a PIN. If your family wants a shared adventure, Haunted Ward runs at a spooky-fun level with a goofy ghost, and you can all join from your own devices.
