Funko Games is launching a Scream party game.
Based on the hit horror franchise, Scream sees players attempt to help each other escape the murderer. The game is played with a free app that sees Ghost Face call the players – and if Ghost Face calls, it means you’re his next target.
Elsewhere, Funko Games has also detailed the next game in its Cryptic ‘escape room’ range with Star Trek Cryptic. Using your PADD as a guide, the game sees players decipher subspace transmissions, discover alien civilizations and prevent planetary disaster with logic, deduction and creative thinking.
Both Scream and Star Trek Cryptic land on shelves in June.
