The Haunted Manor Party scene
Every big-screen moment of your Halloween trivia game
Each part of the game gets its own spot in the scene, with your game on its boards and signs.
Lobby
The foyer welcomes your guests
Guests arrive in the manor's foyer, where the join QR code and join code sit in a gilded frame on one side and each player's name appears in another frame as they join. Embers drift across the painted art while the room fills up.
Question
Questions in the library
Each question hangs in a big gilded frame in the manor's library, with the answer choices drawn below as twisted candy wrappers. Your logo appears on a sign in the room.
Reveal
The answer in the ballroom
The ballroom shows the right answer and how the room answered, while the leaderboard stands on a tall board beside it so everyone can see who is pulling ahead.
Winners
Winners on the grand staircase
Your top three take the gold, silver and bronze trophies with their avatars on the grand staircase, places 4 to 13 line up on a board, and the finale bursts with candy and a few glowing bats.
Matching manor art on every phone
Players get matching Haunted Manor art on their phones, with themed answer buttons and a burst of themed confetti when they get one right. They join at triviaanywhere.com/play with no app to download and no account to create.

Hosting tips
How to run a great Halloween trivia game
- Build mixed-age teams of three to five. Kids carry the movie round, grown-ups carry the folklore, and nobody sits out a category they've never heard of.
- Start the game about an hour into the party, once costumes are on and the snacks are out, and before the first families with little ones head home.
- At the office, stick to films, candy and folklore and skip horror-movie gore, so every coworker can play comfortably.
- Keep prizes small and themed: first pick of the candy bowl for the winners, plus a 'best team name' award so more than one table gets a cheer.
- On a video call, ask guests to keep the call on a laptop or TV and answer on their phones. One screen to watch and one to tap keeps the game moving.
- Read the room when the winners podium comes up. If the energy is high, roll straight into Halloween Trivia 2; if people are drifting toward the snacks, end there while everyone is still laughing.
When to set it up: Set it up a week or two before the party: copy the Halloween Trivia game, swap in a few questions about your own crowd, and preview the Haunted Manor Party scene in the Logo & Colors studio. For a video-call party, put triviaanywhere.com/play in the calendar invite so guests know where to join.
