Rules and Tips

These are the Rules and Tips for Hide and Shriek.

Rules

Every Halloween 2 students, one from Innsmouth Academy and one from Little Springs High, compete.

At midnight they turn themselves invisible.

Every match lasts 10 minutes. There are two ways to win a match:

• By achieving a higher score than your opponent before the 10 minutes mark. Points are mostly gained by finding magic orbs and placing them in your own altar. Collecting runes and successfully using spells also grants points.

• By scaring your opponent 3 times in a row. This will cause an instant victory regardless of how many points each player had.

There are many runes hidden around the school. Runes are used to cast spells. Fuse runes for unique effects!

Tips

1. Look inside cupboards, drawers and cabinets for runes and orbs.
   
2. Know what Mort's different faces mean.
   
3. Your orb will point to your altar after a while.
