The mobile gaming industry is developing quickly. There have already been a large number of mobile titles out there, and more are coming every day. Unfortunately, many of these games tend to be lackluster and thus get old really quick. That is not the case with Goosebumps: HorrorTown.
Goosebumps: HorrorTown is a game developed by Pixowl based on the popular book series Goosebumps by author R.L. Stine. This free-to-play game puts you in control of a town whose citizens consist of both humans and monsters from the book series. The goal is to build a large, prosperous town and complete Goosebumps’ collection of monsters.
The monsters in Goosebumps: HorrorTown are there so that you can send them out to scare humans. If you successfully do that, a meter will fill up, and once it is completely full you will obtain a premium reward. For the humans, you can assign different tasks to them to unlock new items and collect coins. These coins can be spent to unlock new areas and construct new buildings. As the town expands, you will unlock more monsters and characters from the book series as well.
On October 12, with Halloween just around the corner, game developer Pixowl released an event called “Haunted Halloween” for the game. Released following the Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween movie – which is also based on R.L. Stine’s books – the event directly draws inspiration from the movie. Some fans have even stated that this event is even more fun than the film itself. With this, your town will now put on Halloween decorations. The colors of the trees will change, Halloween pumpkin lanterns will be everywhere. This update also adds tons of new features. There are 50 new missions based on the film and 50 additional decorations and buildings. Four new characters will make an appearance: Sarah, Sam, Sonny, and Walter. 10 new monsters will be there as well, which of course include the infamous Headless Horseman. It wouldn’t be Halloween without him.
If you are a fan of the Goosebumps book series, or if you just like a unique and fun building game, you should definitely check out Goosebumps: HorrorTown.
