A game usually takes between 60 to 90 minutes. The time can vary slightly depending on the haunt scenario revealed and players' familiarity with the rules.
Is it a complex game for newcomers to the hobby?
No! This 3rd Edition was designed to be more accessible. The rules are relatively simple to pick up, and the focus on narrative helps new players get involved quickly. The BGG weight of 2.37/5 confirms it's a light-to-medium complexity game.

Not at all! The base game already comes with a huge amount of content and scenarios that guarantee many hours of fun. Expansions are optional and serve to add even more variety if you've already explored everything in the base game.
