Bump in the Night

Bump in the Night is a horror game that puts you in the role of a group of monsters who will terrorize children in a haunted house. Each game starts with 2 to 6 players, and each controls a set of six monster miniatures. The goal is to scare as many children as possible, using the modular board pieces to create routes and obstacles that make it harder for the kids to escape. When a child is terrified or forced to flee, the player controlling the responsible monster earns a point. In addition, special bonus cards can be played for extra points, adding an extra layer of strategy. The board is made up of tiles that can be arranged in different ways each game, providing replayability and surprise. The game lasts about 60 minutes and has moderate complexity: it’s easy to learn but requires strategic decisions about where to place monsters and when to use bonus cards. Components include 6 monster miniatures per player, child tokens, 20+ bonus cards, 12 modular board tiles, score sheets, and a full rulebook in Portuguese. If you enjoy horror, miniatures, and games that blend strategy with social fun, Bump in the Night is a great pick. The game has an official Portuguese translation, but a translated sheet may be needed to ensure all players understand the rules. In short, Bump in the Night offers an engaging horror experience, modular board replayability, and a simple yet strategic scoring mechanic that keeps everyone at the table eager to scare as many children as possible.
