Halloween Rush: a free 3D Halloween shooting game
Halloween Rush is a free first-person Halloween shooting gallery that runs in your web browser. Stand your ground with a pumpkin rocket launcher, splat silly monsters and candy targets for 60 seconds per level, and teleport through five spooky places. No download, no account.
How to play
- Computer: click Start the Rush, then move the mouse to aim. Click or hold the left button to fire, or press Space or F. Esc or P pauses.
- Phone or tablet: play in landscape. Drag anywhere to aim and hold the round FIRE button to shoot. You can aim and fire with two fingers at once.
- Every level lasts 60 seconds and you start with 3 hearts. Survive until the timer runs out to finish the level.
- Spiders drop on their webs, glow, and throw jack-o'-lanterns at you. Shoot the spider first, or shoot the jack-o'-lantern in the air. One that lands costs a heart; lose all three and the run is over.
- Every hit drops a miniature candy into the trick-or-treat bag beside you.
Targets and points
Smaller targets score more. Hits from farther away add a range bonus: +5 points from 12 m and +10 points from 18 m.
| Target | Points | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Candy corn | 100 | Tossed up from the ground |
| Witch | 75 | Flies across the sky on her broom, cackling |
| Spider | 50 (big spider 25) | Drops on a web and throws jack-o'-lanterns |
| Incoming jack-o'-lantern | 25 | Arcs toward you; shoot it before it hits |
| Sucker | 25 | Rises, hovers and sinks again |
| Frankenstein | 10 | Walks along the ground; never attacks |
Five spooky places
- Haunted House: a crooked porch, glowing windows, a picket fence and spiders on the eaves.
- Graveyard: headstones, iron gates, a mausoleum and low fog.
- Spooky Forest: twisted trees, glowing mushrooms and a fallen log.
- Pumpkin Patch: giant pumpkins, scarecrows, hay bales and a crooked barn.
- Haunted Carnival: striped tents, string lights and a turning Ferris wheel.
After the Haunted Carnival the tour starts again as Night 2, Night 3 and so on. Monsters come faster and spiders throw more often until level 13.
Scores and leaderboards
Your best run and furthest level are saved in your browser. Replaying a level replaces the earlier attempt, so points can't be farmed. When the game is hosted on a home network, the whole household shares a top-10 scoreboard, a career leaderboard with averages for every map, and records for each level.
Frequently asked questions
Is Halloween Rush free?
Yes. Halloween Rush is free to play in any modern web browser. There is no account, no sign-up, no in-game purchase and no advertising.
Do I need to download or install anything?
No. The game runs in the browser tab. On a phone or tablet you can add it to your Home Screen to play without the browser's toolbars.
Does Halloween Rush work on phones and tablets?
Yes. It is built for touch screens as well as computers: turn the device sideways, drag anywhere to aim and hold the round FIRE button to shoot.
Is Halloween Rush too scary for kids?
It is spooky but fun: bright colors, silly cartoon monsters, pumpkin splats and candy. There is no blood or gore.
How long does a game of Halloween Rush take?
Each level lasts 60 seconds. A run keeps going level after level until you lose all three hearts, so a game can take one minute or twenty.
What do I need to play?
A current browser such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari with JavaScript and 3D graphics (WebGL) turned on. If the game says it cannot start, turn on hardware acceleration in the browser settings or update the browser.
Can my family share a leaderboard?
Yes. Your best run and furthest level are always saved on your device. To share a scoreboard, one computer can host Halloween Rush on your home network; everyone who plays from that address shares the scoreboard, career leaderboard and level records.
