Calling all gamers, ghosts and ghouls!
Get ready for a Spooktacular Halloween Takeover at the National Videogame Museum this October Half-Term!
Join us for a week of spooky games, creepy crafts and family-friendly Halloween fun, with a specially selected bundle of games and activities to keep little gamers entertained.
Saturday 24th October - Sunday 1st November
Ghoulish Games
For one week only, we have a special selection of ghoulishly good games available to play in the gallery to get you in the spooky spirit.
Battle and defeat the undead in Plant’s vs Zombies, test your alchemy skills in Potion Craft, or gather your friends for a spooky trick-or-treating quest in Costume Quest. If the paranormal is more your thing, why not grab your proton pack and capture the ghosts, like a real Ghostbuster, in the 1987 Ghostbusters Arcade game.
Feeling cheeky? Play as Poulterguy and do the haunting yourself in the classic comedy-horror Haunting starring Poulterguy on the Sega Mega Drive.
Capture the Ghosts
Calling all Ghostbusters! The ghosts have gotten loose in our gallery and we need your help to track them down!
Throughout the week, we will be running a series of creepy craft activities suitable for all ages. Create and capture ghosts and ghouls on the gallery floor, create your own haunted house, or create a spooky Halloween costume for your favourite videogame character.
Dress to impress
Halloween weekend is your chance to get dressed up! Visit us on Friday 30th or Saturday 31st October in your best Halloween fancy dress to receive 50% off entry plus a Halloween treat to take home.
